Where's Jayden Hunt?? Hasn't touched the ball for 3 weeks now

In the backline for some unknown reason when he was doing well up forward. Meantime Hore is in the VFL.

    The problems with this club run so so deep. We have a name, a logo and a jumper, but we don't actually stand for anything.

    Some things you can allow for, forgive and understand, but the lack of fight when things are tough and belief in each other (not just talking about the players btw) are all just emblematic of an organization that exists just to survive, not to succeed.

    I believe that can only be changed by leadership club-wide. The closest we've had to a ruthless, wants-to-win leader has been PJ. Goodwin has become a PR artist, Bartlett just wants the "me time", Pert is invisible and our co-captains aren't directional leaders and are so limited as footballers that they struggle to lead by example anyway.

    Wasn't expecting a win today of course, but the way we have just wandered through this year says a lot about who we really are.

    Lever is having a stinker. Needs a pre season to get himself right.

    Can’t have a player who can intercept to come in and impact 2 first rounder Levers opportunities.


     McCartney words....This playing group is probably at a third of its development … but a lot of the initial hard work has been done,” he said.

    “The growth and development in this club over the past four or five years has been extraordinary.”

    so extraordinary that Pies keep scoring from our dumb mistakes, poor skill errors..

    Collingwood supporters standing near me love fritsch. they cant work out why we hit the flank every tine we go mark across half forward. we wait for them to flood. this season is a carbon copy of 2003.

    hunt seems to be running around like a headless chook never actually impacting the contest

    Funnily enough i thought we were a sneaky chance today. Good judge.

    It’s just horrific how bad we are when the ball is turned over 

    Collywobbles are playing with us. 

     

    Embarrassing stuff. Most embarrassing is the coaching and match ups.

    And just a rookie!   What does that tell you about our leaders.  Both should be de-frocked and a new leader (Gawn) in place for 2020.  May as VC.

    Surely we are just trying to raise value of some players in hope to get a 3rd rounder in a trade Omac, Hunt, Hibberd ect. We are surely taking the [censored] playing them otherwise.

    Jake Lever should ask for a pay cut. Miocek is only on half his salary and giving him a bath.

    • 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.
