    I’m not keen on the team selections. But shall reserve my judgements until post game. 
     

    Confidence is not high here.

    Will certainly be watching how we deliver the ball into our forward 50. We have gone with a smallish forward setup so we better not be bombing long to the square! 

    Fingers crossed we deliver the ball properly EH but our forwards need to play as forwards are meant to play ... leading to space,  multiple leads (at speed), defensive pressure,  play in front,  kick straight etc etc

    But our clearance work needs to be clean & efficient.  Scrubbing the ball forward or banging it forward won't work

    It all starts from the dominant ruckman ... and our schemes & set plays from the tap.

    What's the reasoning there?

    Geelong's got Ford in that same sport.

    Zurich still on the front for us.

    A game we had to win, were favourites and didn't come to play. Whereas we're not favourites today don't really rate Geelong and if we bring the right attitude we should be right in it. Hopefully winning.

    Brayshaw with no helmet? Not sure about that? ?

    Two kicks to the hot spot (both correct kicks to make) but no tall forwards to contest.

    Nice.

    Contrast this to Geelong’s first goal.

     

    Another [censored] waste of inside 50s. Geelong one inside 50 and goal. 
    Will Goodwin ever fix this?!


    Melbourne football right there. Repeat rubbish forward entries, goes the other way defence a mess, easy goal to the opposition.

     

    Count the easy goals for them. That’s 1. 

    Lever misread that and didn't go up. 

    On the one hand in happy that there weren't 3 players trying to spoil. 

    On the other I'm not happy that it was Lockhart vs a ruck


    Horrendous defence. They had three floating back to the goalsquare.

    Suggests our forward press was too high and once they got through, it was too easy.

    Dangerous signs.

    Cats implementing a transition and MCG masterclass just then. We couldn't get near it

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
