Wow, that so sums up our year.  We had moments.  What I found interesting (read frustrating), was that most players had good moments, and then had absolute crap ones.  Lever - marks it and pumps it out on the full, twice.  Jones - delivers into 50 beautifully, and then does that rancid kick out that costs us the goal.  Angus - does some great things, then some [censored].  Only Maxy and Fritsch can hold their heads high, for a full game effort.

ANB hitting the post was so us 2019.

    Is there any chance ANB can ever kick straight from 30 metres out??

    I am one of ANB harshest critics but the kick was from 50 and was a reasonable effort which just missed.    Melksham puts his hands up saying he should have passed to him but he wasn't free enough for that option.

    If there was any doubt about two rucks making the AA team again this year that was completely put to rest by Gawn's performance against the third best ruck in the comp.  The guy is amazing.

    This list is not going to be able to execute any game plan until there is a significant improvement in the basic skills. Pre season to be spent with a football in hand100% of the time, even during the time trials.

    Fritta and Gawn were amazing today, but too many B graders.

    Seen enough of Stretch Wagner Spargo ANB and JKH 

    Jones one more year ands that’s about it.

    The players you mention here just seem to come in and out, in and out of the side and never seem to have an impact. Surely its time to clear out the dead wood.

    Jones has experience in losing teams

    it is not all his fault, but he is a contributor. 

    It is time he moved on...

    Barring disastrous injuries next year, Jones should end his career at Casey.

    half way through the last we were kicking at 36%. 36%!!!!!!  Lever had about 3 in a row. You Cant win if you cant frikn kick. Preuss missing from 10 and ANB missing from 30 in the last and 1.7 in the last also.... just about sums the whole thing up. 

    That being said....fritsch is beginning to really look the goods. Something to be hopeful for.

    Our season is over, sweet relief! Now we can look to 2020 knowing it should/has to get better (it has to, right?!), and at the very least can't get worse!

    Commentators were drooling over Grundy’s game last night all telecast (it was a great game btw), but Max showed today why he is the greatest in my view. What a professional with a never die attitude! Just remember his game today and we might get through the pain a little bit easier.

    As far as the Coleman goes, I hope Cameron kicks 12 against the Suns tonight, got sick of the constant cheering for Ben10.

    ANB cannot possibly play again, to think we got rid of Watts and kept this bloke, plus Goodwin keeps bloody playing him FFS

    Postive from today.... almost 3 quarters of better ball movement/accuracy from more players....in the game.

    Until the last where our energy /tank ran out? Skills dropped off a cliff and we reverted back to chaos crash bash style ...and lost.

    Dead set Jones anyone would know that kick needed to go down the line and we expect our boys to follow this bloke? 

    They said on the radio there was no one down the line to kick to and gawn was trying to get across.  

    Also do we blame Oliver  for giving away that undisciplined 50?

    And what the [censored] has happened to Salem, Goodwin is the worst coach ever, he has ground these blokes to the point they have forgotten how to bloody handball and kick

    • 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.
