Sorry but Weid just doesn't like the pressure when kicking with a deficit.  STILL a downhill skier.  When the going gets tough his kicking goes to water.

    No composure in the 50.

    Bennell just cost us two goals. Inexcusable. 

    Maybe his calf is hurting 


    Being outclassed here.

    To be fair if Brisbane don’t win the flag this year they never will. They are being handed it through time and circumstance.

    Half our side can’t go at this level though. We are a middling side.

    We’ve kicked ourselves out of the game, every one of Weids kicks were very gettable. Bennell should’ve nailed his. We kick half of those and it’s a goal in it. 

    Our own worst enemies, hard to watch when that happens.

    Gerrard Healy is one of the most insufferable people to listen to, I could list a dozen examples but it’s just constant.

    Weideman kicks those 3 very gettable goals and it’s game on. Him and Bennell just inexcusable. You can’t be a professional player and get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars and kick the ball like that.

    Brisbane ruck grabs it in the ruck, takes on a player, tackled, no clean disposal. Play on.

    Jetta has his head ripped off, gets a handball off, "Holding the ball".

    Healey: "And Jetta ducks his head again."

    I'm done.

    Yep, Brisbane ruck Definitely  holding ball not paid!

    Its not the umpires - we are slow of brain and foot...Bennell misses from 15 Cameron slots it from 40. Nuff said....

    Nearly threw the iPad on that non decision. FFS.

    Same story. creating some chances but lacking Polish.

    The frustrating thing about this game is that despite the dreadful umpiring, the easy shots missed and continual errors on our behalf, we should be right there with them. Instead 3 goals down which is a really rough ask against Brisbane, in the wet, at home, when they are playing well

    Just do not understand that 'dangerous tackle' decision????

    We're done

    Weid misses 3, Bennell misses a sitter, Kozzie misses a snap from 20 out directly in front...

    Ffs?‍♂️

    Don't forget the Langdon set shot from 40 out directly Infront 

    We should have won the first quarter by 1-2 goals and that quarter by 2-3 goals. But we're 3 goals down and the game is probably gone (only one side all year has come back from a 3QT deficit and that was pre-COVID).

    We haven't been disgraced and IMO our defensive setup has again stood up well: the two goals we conceded that quarter were from a Jetta brainfade (he's had an absolute shocker IMO) and a throw in a stoppage following Bennell's horrible miss.

    Too many what ifs (Weideman's 0.3, Bennell's miss, Pickett failing to pass to Langdon, Jetta's free against, etc.) to win a game against a top 4 side.

    Love a please explain on the kossie dangerous tackle. 

    Not going to happen, Melbourne have always been gutless in questioning the AFL about shocking umpiring. ?

    jetta is ducking his head at every contest

    Yes he is a G.Healy is right in saying its going to be back for his health if he get hit like that.  Mate fractured his neck doing that playing AFL right in front of m; 9 months of recovery .. 


     

    Somebody will need to teach me the rules of this game because I don’t understand half the free kicks that are, and aren’t, paid.

    some consistency in what is a 15m kick would be nice too.

    Umpires doing their best to kill just about any joy I had left for the game I used to love. AFL you have almost killed Australian Rules Football. Disgraceful.

    • 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.
