Great effort Hunty,  Turned it into a shot on goal.

    Im not sure taking a mark on the arc and immediately playing on into traffic is a good idea.  Just hold it up and take a long shot, find a shorter target or kick outside the square.  % forward plays rather than manic pls


    Baker having a poor game. TMac looking good again. We should win today.

    Loud calls for play on when its us with possession.  Only one or two half hearted "play on" calls when its Brisbane.  Then gestures with hands in air after as if thats enough for us..."i hope they are watching me!....if not too bad...the Brissy player can wait forever to dispose".

    And the AFL wonders why the fans are [censored] with the umpiring.

    As per usual dominate inside 50s, but can’t kick for goal. 

     

    2 nice throws from Rich and the player after there...nothing called.

    Getting destroyed in Centre clearances. Need to fix that quick smart at quarter time.

    been happening for a while. Not much use having a dominant ruckman if you can't set up for set plays. Much the same with Preuss at VFL level

    If every player in our side was fined for turning the ball over going inside 50 - they'd be playing for nothing. Salem would be the only player with coin.

    Smith and Harmes missing shots from 20-30 out. Not good enough. Deflates the whole team


    Clarry jogging behind an opponent. In the first quarter. Okay then.

    One problem with Bayley Fritsch, we don't have two of him.

    He's an excellent decision maker and user of the ball. He'll often open up the play with his kicks.

     

    Why do we insist on taking possession when about to be tackled  instead of tapping it into space away from opponent then running on to it or just kicking it off the ground up the line?

    God Salems disposal is just 1st class

    • 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.
