Better but the dogs have the breeze in the 3rd so we need to keep the pressure up.

May has been magnificent for us. 

Fritta bounced back with a nice goal. 

Presuss finally doing what he had to do. He is taller and much more bigger than english. He needs to dominate those ruck contests and he started to hit it in the right spots.

    We look the more dangerous side when we go forward, just need the midfield to lift, started to get going in that quarter

    Pound for pound and inch for inch Fritta is a premier forward.

    Once the clearances evened up that quarter, we comfortably had their measure. Dogs have an elite midfield so have to break even in this second half. In the arcs, Melbourne is clearly superior. 

    Agreed. We need to start winning clearances. Do that and I think we will win comfortably. 
    They are killing us when they get the easy clearance because they have so much speed they always have a man out.

    We know which end is the scoring end. Smart move is to make Q3 a bog and play for the win in Q4. If we try to go head on in Q3, they will get a lead and then turn it into a bog in Q4 and we will lose.

    I think after today’s game it’s time to rest Pickett and bring in Bennell to play small forward. Pickett doesn’t give us enough. 

    His 2nd half would want to be pretty good to stay in.  Depending how they go in this 2nd half it could be Bedford for Picket and Harley for Harmes (if the FD deem him fit enough).

     

    I it is always a worry with Pickett, Spargo and Hannan in the same side. They all are very low possession players

    Spargo has offered nothing except 1 good tackle

    Umps ❌ 

    Bulldogs mids on top - losing inside contest ❌

    Spargo and Pickett not effective❌
     

    Defence ✅
    May Preuss Langdon our best ✅

    Agreed. He isn’t soft. He just can’t kick.

    Yep.

    Won't argue that he could have laid a better tackle on English in the first term, but he's had 8 kicks to go with 6 marks and a goal.  Plays his role for the team perfectly.

    I reckon TMac is playing his guts out and going OK. He was the player chasing the Bulldogs player who was penalised for running too far.

    needs to stop hitting it out wide (mostly to doggy outliers so far).... just dump it in close and let our boys do what they do best and muscle it from the inside to the out.

    time to turn up the pressure on the doggies and win this game.

     

    Kossie and Spargo, all they need to do this quarter is apply relentless pressure, keep it in the forward line

    Interesting Open Mike coming 

    My heart breaks watching him. What a monumental [censored] up, one of many, by this club.

    Which both did do in that second term.  Their pressure might not come up as stats, but they have been better as a game has gone on.

    If they can hit the scoreboard in the second half it will be a massive bonus!

    Steven May is showing why we so despately needed him. we wouldn't be in this game without him. 

    it's the opposite of our usual games, we aren't winning the contest, or inside 50's but we look really efficient and winning the game. 

    backing us in, but we need to take our chances.

    • 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.
