Starts tonight. 

After this round the ladder will be meaningful again.

Good to see Roughy is back for the Hawks - a bit of sentiment by Clarkson perhaps.  Allow him to play vs one of his best mates, Buddy one last time.

    Geelong are woeful after the bye so Port might be good money at $2.80??

    Reckon Brisbane might have another road setback, this time against St Kilda.

    Sydney should keep Hawthorn to a very low score.

    Hopefully Essendon get flogged tonight.

    I absolutely detest Thursday night football (other than when the following day is a public holiday). I'm not ready for it and it also diminishes the enjoyment of football on the subsequent Saturday and Sunday because there is one fewer game to follow. Having it in the same weeks as some teams have a bye and there is football on a Monday (Queen's Birthday) just makes it worse as the football product just seems sporadic rather than intense.

    But maybe that's just me...

    John Worsfold of course knows nothing about it, and as a Qualified Chemist I believe him....

    Each to their own.

    I like Thursday Night Footy. It Feels like the weekend has come early and it gives you something to look forward to during your Thursday work day.

    Hopefully they can increase TNF from 8 this year to 11 next year.

    it's an absolute disgrace "The Architect" of brushing everything under the carpet between 2001 and 2007 Trevor Nesbitt is still CEO.

    He was told exactly what was going on by Ken Judge

    I see the Bombers have been dealt the old Dalgliesh/Margetts in Perth double. Good luck with that lads!

    Just talking to a mate about Margetts. WC must punch the sky when they see their number one ticket holder is umpiring.

    Perhaps the “AFL Integrity Unit” ??? should look into it?

    Seriously, it doesn’t look good for the (minuscule residual) integrity of the game.

    Really the goal umpire can’t see that was a goal? It was a metre past the goalpost. Why pay them to even be there!

    Righto, hands up, who really likes roaming knucklehead?

    The half time promo for it was sickening. Basically telling viewers it's what they really want.

    Personally I don't really care, some are good, some duds, but to ram it down our necks. Please. BT is a dead set clown though.

    Absolute garbage. This game, the state of the game in general.

    It really is. I switched over from last night's Wc v Ess game halfway the through second quarter to watch John Candy in the mid-80's comedy classic 'Uncle Buck'. I thoroughly enjoyed it and didn't switch back again.

    Only last halfway through the second of tonight's game. The AFL product quality is diminishing. It was never this boring in the 80's,  90's and 00's. The thrills are being suffocated out of it.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
