    I think the AFL might be going to take pick 2 from us anyway!

    Well if both Melbourne and Sydney are going to tank next week we need a name for the game.

    Win win win. That’s always the aim.  To suggest otherwise is so ridiculous.  

    To think we allegedly tanked to get Scully and Trengove.  That worked out !!?!?!?!?

    I love how someone starts with a supposition, and then proceeds as if it's a fact.

    If history suggest anything we will burn another early pick along with the other 50 we've had!

    Whats even more dumb is watching the Hawks not getting any early picks, haven't bottom out & then rebuilding through smart drafting & no doubt will win another flag before us again.

    Dumb club, or dumb supporters?  I would take two wins from here. Simply because the team goes to the off season with something positive, rather than a fistful of straight losses.  It also can impact on Memberships - win and people have HOPE.  We can sell that.  

    The off season should be brutal, but to call the club ‘dumb’ for wanting to win in the last two games is appalling.  Are you Mark Neild?

    Good post Don Cornder, we need to hold our nerve, the zulu's are coming, lets not F this up. I'm confident we won't do anything silly and win more than one of our next two.

    Draft picks mean more than junk time wins in a season that is cooked. If you don't feature in September the next best thing is to have first dibs in the draft.

    We arent getting pick 2 anyway. GC will be handed a PP. The kid will probably go on to be an ice dealer down the track or something - whatever players seem to learn up at that club.

    Win, just effing win. Resting our future on playing (or not playing) for picks left a stain on our club that will never be removed. 

    Couldn’t care less where we finish in the picks order. Call that dumb if you want but I’d rather us finish the year with the boys singing the song than us debating what pick we’ll get from losing.

    Can't agree more Pates.

    We've all seen first hand how 'playing' for draft picks affects the culture of a club. At no time in the rest of our history should we aim to repeat what we did in the '08-'09 years.

    Win at all costs. Pick #2 or #3 in this year's draft ain't gonna help us climb up the ladder next year. There is no Sam Walsh quality players' in this years draft (Rowell isn't, and Anderson has the potential but not yet proven.............Walsh if in this years draft would be in another league to these potential draftees).

    Learn from Whorethorn, who learnt from Norm Smith...

    I'm for winning as much as the next person but these are junk time games and we've come this far, justs couple more games. I'm not saying we get smashed like EFC or North but switch a couple of magnets around, e.g. O-mac forward, and play loose on their most damaging player.

    When losing is the only way to win its not losing it is the way.

    Hawthorn can have its pokies and feast off the souls of the less fortunate and we can have our draft picks.

    Winning is the better habit, and better mind set for a team to have belief in themselves, and each other.

    The universe would do something nice for us for a change if we lost pick 2 via either our own hand or the AFL and pick 3 turned out to be the much better player.

    You know, like the time we tanked our hearts out to get pick 2.

    • 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.
