I went tonight and at the ground it wasn’t that hard to differentiate the teams

It was a pretty ropey game; pies got the early break and that was it

terrible skills from both sides; meth coke will feast on cats next week and pies will lose de goey and probably Greenwood

Very hard to see either going all the way

    Cats must apply pressure at the stoppages and stop the kicking game of the Eagles

    Would love the AFL to move the game to Kardinia Park

    If Geelong go out in straight sets, there'd have to be questions asked about Scott wouldn't there?

    Bloke has overseen a string of finals chokes already. His tenure has been masked by walking into a side that coached itself to a flag in 2011.

    I commend him for changing up their forwardline this year, but they rely on too few and many go missing when the blow torch is applied back the other way.

    Ugh the moment you wake up in the morning and realise the filth are straight through to a prelim. 

    Admittedly I didn't see the game but did the pies lose Degoey and greenwood before 1/2 time?  Seriously how could the cats not win and the pies didn't even kick a goal in the final term.

    The pie where Happy to defend in the last qtr they just went slow and sucked the game to death, if footy goes on like this year it will lose fans, has became a defensive game.

    The pies unlike us have shown they can be decimated by injuries and still play good footy. They are a switched on “one for all and all for one” side and not one led by two headless chooks.

    That's being a bit hard on chooks perhaps.

    Last night's game was boring. Turned the sound down and read the cricket rain updates in the Guardian for entertainment

    We’re back to a place where the only enjoyment we get is watching other teams lose.

    Love them or hate them, the Pies have a strong belief about themselves and good luck to them. That Elliott smother/dive on Bews from memory in the dying minutes was pure determination and team first football. 

    Most Geelong players looked like they had concrete boots on. Dangerfield carried them last night and he nearly pinched the game.

    Yep. Not often a winning side doesn’t score anything in the last Quarter. 

    Shows just how bad Jeelong were in the First Half

    The cliff is coming for the Cats. 

    It all looks good at the early stages of the season when the old stagers are up and running.

    They were the same last year in the finals against us. 

    Selwood, Hawkins, Ablett and Taylor all ineffective.  Just too old come the end of the season.

    Will be interesting to see how they play the Kelly trade. He's a good player.

    Top notch coaching by Buckley last night.  Down to 2 in last 1/4 with 4 goal lead managed perfectly.

    If only we had those types of thinkers inside Dees box.?

    Last year the cats only managed 6 goals against us and last night could only manage 7. That is not going to be enough next week against the eagles. Hawkins kicks 4 behinds. Not good enough from your key forward. If he was playing against us that would have been 4 straight. Even if he kicked 1/2 they would have won. 

    Anyway go bulldogs today and go brisbane tonight.

    Didn't think that goal review that went against the cats was so clear. Hopeless camera angle.

    I would have thought it to be umpire's call at best.

    Agree,  it was pretty hard to get enthused by that match at all. 

    Happy though,  very rarely do I want Collingwood to win.

    But then I saw Eddie prancing around and felt ill.

    Yep he won a premiership in his 1st year after inheriting a great team. He didn't create it. Questions would need to be asked if they go out in straight sets after finishing top.

    Empty seats at a final in Sydney. 

    Get this joke of a team out of the AFL. 

    very disappointing considering their phantom membership of 30,000

    The stadium only holds 24,000 according to Wikipedia

    The entire “Camera” side of the ground looks empty in the Grandstand. 

    It is being shielded. Watch Closely

    • 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.
