VDB fractured eye socket apparently.

Bloody he'll, he probably did that in the first quarter with a head clash. Tough as.

    Probably the most frustrating and aggravating 50 point win I've ever watched. Adelaide are a truly horrible football team right now, they just cannot kick a score. Main Dees takeaways for me:

    -Steven May another fantastic game. Made Tex look like a local reserves player.

    -Clayton Oliver escaping the packs and thinking a little more with the ball was fantastic.

    -Brayshaw should only ever play on ball. This makes it hard to balance the midfield but that's what the coaches are paid the big bucks for.

    -Jackson was clearly worrying ROB with his jumping ability. Good positioning up forward too.

    -Neither Bennell or ANB impacted up forward. Small forward positions are still well up for grabs.

    Gawn was injured he has a Lat\shoulder problem. I think he should be rested this week.

    Here is how bad Tex is right now - I'd rather Tommy Mac than him.

    He is a squib of the highest order.

    Anyone notice the way Jackson does those cute over the shoulder handballs into space? Whens the last time you've seen a ruckman look so fluid and mobile the way he does. 

    No wonder why we rated him so highly. He's an extra midfielder everytime we play him in the ruck. Will be elite, watch this space.

    Three quarters of puss and a last quarter of sexy time.

    Certainly wasn’t a great team effort but some great individual games. Oliver incredible. Viney all heart. May was solid all game and just as importantly gives us grunt.

    Brayshaw finally showing a few signs that he can get back something resembling form.

    Jackson yet again played a smart game down forward. Those having a crack at him aren’t paying attention. Competing strongly in the air and playing a selfless game for the other forwards.

    The skills are still a huge issue, but by the end of the game it was a 50 point win. It took a massive detour but it was job done.

    Gawn just said on fox he has an injured shoulder near the top of his left shoulder but can play through it. 
     

    Would rest him to be safe.

    tells us nothing really but we were good in patches. we are better than we were last week, but not as good as the scoreline suggests tonight. Wins over Roos and Pies and I'll eat humble pie. Until then all we did tonight was bully a poor team.

    Tomlinson back was fantastic. Clearly he hadn't played there much but hes a big body and can kick. His run was great as well. I'd love to see Goody persevere with him there. So much better than Oscar. And could play on tall or smalls

    Hey Jaded, you asked about Clarry's hair. 

    The problem with that is that Salem gave Clarry his haircut. 

    Salem should stick to his day job. A hairdresser he ain't !!!!

    Oliver when kicking the ball is a far better player.

    When kicking like tonight.

    Disagree. His foot skills are a liability

    A little sad to Max say he might not play next week. If he needs a break, give it to him though. 
     

    ANB will be suspended, but Lockhart should be ok. 
     

    Vanders is injured again? Max mentioned a broken arm of some sort? He looked proppy to me.

    No way. Goldstein will tear us apart on a game we have to win

    A lot of players have left Adelaide on questionable terms over the past few years...

    Speaks volumes that he's still there and rolling out that [censored]

    Should have rested him for this game.

    Now he's playing injured on a 4 day break against Goldstein in a harder to win game.

    This was one of those captain's calls that can backfire.

    A strong finish made it a convincing win.

    Some of the worst umpiring I have ever seen.

    A real coming of age game from Jackson and a gutsy effort from a clearly unfit Max. Let's take the 4 points and see where can go from here.

    PS the fox commentary was equally as bad as the umpiring 

    PPS Clayton Oliver FMD !!!!

    The umps clearly got on the Crows at $3 just like I did. That umpiring was worse than anything I've seen in WA over the years, land of the home cooked umpiring.

    I reckon Weid is coming on really well. Pretty unconvincing win for me even for 50 pts - it was really just the last quarter the first 3 quarters were pretty rubbish except for Viney and Oliver.

    • 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.

      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.
