I expect the Saints to get up tonight in a close contest. There's a few potentially good games this round!

    Saints are looking very bloody good. 
     

    These Kings twins are going to be scary in a few years. Just so natural.

    Ratton has got the saints playing a great brand a footy, Roughead has the saints forward line sorted (what could have been).

    i always liked Kent as a footballer, he’s started this season strongly.

    carltank playing this entire half like they did the first quarter and a half against us

    kent has always had the ability and skills, but his shoulders and his hamstrings worked against him

    shorter terms and shorter games help him

    The ‘aints have certainly got a few things right of late;

    - got rid of a sub-standard coach (we’ll take him thanks - yoink!)

    - decided to pay the 40c to give Butler a call (we pocketed the 40c)

    - traded for outside class (well, we got outside players in but arguably not class)

    - drafted a young tall who can catch the football (we traded our pick for an old bloke who looks like he eats footballs)

    - got a talented (albeit flawed) footy department boss.

    It is a sad day when you’re jealous of StK.

    That Dean Kent guy looks good.

    Max King will be a beauty. 

    Hannerbery looks likes he's done a hamstring??

    Cameron Ling is the Dipper of our generation. Gun player, moved to tv as a star... ends up being a boundary rider.

    Yep, thought the same last week when they beat the Tiges.

    Transformed their game over summer.

    Good brand of footy.

    They're a much better team than us now.

    Turnovers will destroy you. SPS with a shocker of a kick. No wonder people break TV remotes

    How Brett Ratten hasn’t had a senior coaching gig since Carlton is mind boggling especially considering we had Neeld.

    Ratten could have been a bargain years ago...

    But we don’t hire experienced Coaches, unless we are on life support

    To be fair, we couldn't get Kent on the park. At some stage you cut those blokes off and move on. I'm sure we will do the same with KK at the end of this year.

    Reality is, most clubs will turnover 6-8 players each year. He was a logical choice. And good luck to him now that he seems to be getting a clear run at it.

    Kent’s been excellent tonight.

    Our list management is a joke.

    I think our list management is alright.

    We have the talent, but we're very good at ruining it. Chaos ball doesn't really bring out the best in most people.

    Kent is much better at St Kilda, Howe much better at Collingwood because they have better structure and game plans.

    We got rid of Kent in the same offseason we signed vandenBerg to a 3 year contract.

    At best it's inconsistent.

    Marvellous isn’t it

    Maybe we should hire a Coach that understands Structure and game plans

    • 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.
