Slow start when we kicked badly and flat finish in the last where they kicked 4.3 to our 1.2 but on the whole we played well.

Good to see the switch across half back and the tempo changes.  We lost but a lot to like for the last few games of the season.

Huge game by Clarrie and Fritsch not far behind.

    Our 4th Quarter fitness is an indictment on Missons tenure at the Dees.

    Like last week and many other games this season no matter how competitive and strong we are during the game we toss it away in the last quarter. We rarely look like winners at the death.

    We had a really good stab at it, a lot of things worked for us. 

    An encouraging performance, but ultimately not there yet.

    Missed easy goals again. Petty, lewis missed 2 each they should have kicked and max again missed a sitter. 

    4th quarter we just couldn't kick goals

    The game was lost when that (censored) umpire gave a free against Max for trying to mark the ball. Terrible decision. Blind.

    We were ok but have lost the confidence to take the game on when it’s there to be won

    Hands down our biggest issue.

    This.

    Also, skills. Also, both of those: experience.

    Preuss.

    Laughable that some on here questioned the FD’s decision not to pick him earlier this season. The least fittest bloke on our list by a mile. Todd Viney would have beaten him in the 3km time trial.

    Fritsch up forward is a game changer.

    Begs belief why he was down back for so long.

    Wagner (Older) did well as well I thought, was hard at it in contests winning several.

    Brayshaw did well keeping Yeo quiet, maybe that was the trade off of him going back into the center.

    Petty worth continuing up forward, Lewis also. 

    Poor games from Preuss, Lockhart and female umpire

    To continue the theme of patting myself on the back: exactly as I said last week. Has ten thumbs. Not AFL tandem-ruck quality until rectified.

    I wonder what all the posters that were saying he would make a difference think now.

    Er, i didn't see it - what happened?

    • 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.

      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.
