No composure in the 50.

STILL no genuine key tall forwards that are reliable kicks at goal.

It's time to bring Brown in for 3 matches or so for Weid.  If that fails then its time to ask Tomlinson to earn his keep in place of May and send May forward for the final experiment before cleaning out our Key Tall stocks at end of season.

Brisbane are more desperate, so much hungrier to win the ball

Nonsense. Look at viney! We’ve just missed a few goal set shots.

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

    Yep missed at least 6 gettable goals, and two definitely should have been goals, kicking ourselves out of it!!

    They are just a touch more polished and structured than us in a higher quality game. Just not taking our chances yet could still pinch it if we get some momentum.

    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. 

    We did the same last year at the Gabba when we missed 4 or 5 set shots and let Hipwood off the leash for 15 minutes for 4 goals. 

    Jetta is brave, but he's cooked. His only weapon now is putting his head over it, which he is doing to his detriment.

    Man how I wish Bennell had nailed that goal...

    Lions are much cleaner and we have gone back to wasting the ball.

    They're beating us in the clearances as well which is putting us on the back foot

    They are a lot better than us. We are being schooled with ball use and pressure. We can’t get our hands on the ball in the middle. And we can’t get any continuity with the ball.

    Very sloppy skills. I know it’s wet but Lions much cleaner. Terrible hospital handballs to no one and very little clean possession. WTF is Nev doing??


    Viney tries all day and all night and has the biggest heart, but he just bangs it out anywhere when he gets it....diesnt even appear to look !

    Missed some easy goals

    Did the umpire just make up a new rule, dangerous tackle? Let's consult our dictionaries to check what dangerous means. It could mean a number of things. The umpire needs to be more precise, not make things up on the run. 

    And very poor from Healy saying Jetta ducked his head again. Would he say that about Selwood? I think not.

    Our midfield is getting smashed and boy was Bennell's miss costly.

    I'm still tryna' cool down from that Harley moment.

    Absolutely killed us.

    Me too, I felt myself deflate instantly. In this kind of game it is just a killer.


    Big test this quarter. Cant get blown away or it sets us back massively

    This is what a quality team looks like. 
    Sadly we are a mediocre side. We will get smashed next week too. 

    I want to party with you

    Nearly threw the iPad on that non decision. FFS.

    We need to recruit players who know how to kick. We are our own worst enemy.


    Missed about 7 easy goals. Even with the sh-t umpiring We could have won.

    • 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.
