I will take a Carlton win any day. If we can not protect our place in the eight from here we just not deserve to be in it. Also helps to jump to 6th or 7th. 

Carn the Blue-baggers...

How good was Fevola, loved seeing him start that 1QT brawl... Gold

    Blues have choked the 2nd Half very badly. 
    it is an open game and they have kicked 7 goals

    Clear free kick to Betts that would have put the Blues in front and then 3 quick goals to the Pies and game over.

    Both teams were substandard

    Casboult particularly disappointing

    Does a Collingwood win help or hurt us, i know we should take our destiny into our own hands but in terms of the ladder, is this good for us?

    How's the 7 News promo, talking about a goal line blunder in our game... ?‍♂️

    Was lost for words, such a joke.

    Hurts us, basically guarantees pies a spot in the 8 if they win 1 more. One less spot up for grabs by those fighting to get in

    Just to add Expect in 2 weeks, dees gws and saints will all be on 9 wins with only % separating us. With one sitting 9th

    Carlton are so soft. 4 points in a second half against their fierce rivals. Now they're out of finals contention the AFL can move them out of the RACV Noosa Resort and into the local caravan park to finish the season.

    So it's a blunder now?  Talk about manufacturing a story from sweet FA.

    Hopefully Carlton can knock over GWS next week but I doubt it.

    Wow blues goalless in the second half against their bitter rivals. They’re done, now watch the Carltank come out.

    If it's not West Coast in Perth it is Richmond or Geelong or less likely Port or Brisbane at their home grounds.

    Finishing 8th would be a nightmare whichever way you look at it.

    ..... but better than finishing 9th, which gives zero chance of advancing at all ?

    Must say I like the jaguar symbol on the back of our jumper. Most of the car logos are rather nondescript.

    Took me years to work out who SEW were on the back of the hawks jumper.

    Yeah, the truth doesn't sound so sensationalist...

    IMO - it helps in that in now knocks Blues out of finals race, and Collingwood are still catchable by Dees . They were less than impressive today and they have a tough draw, one less game and I would rather meet them if we make finals than Blues.

    One less contender. I think the Saints could also well be worried with their run home.

    Dees have to win nevertheless.

    Dees will be well into the 8 in your scenario, as if all teams win the next two matches then % rankings should probably staty the same with GWS in 9th spot. A 10% gap can't be made up in low scoring and shorter games .  Apart from us, no 60 point blowouts to worry about.

    Saints may well win but only a 2% gap between them and Dees which could be made up and put the saints lowre than us.

    In additon, as a possible early Christmas bonus,  if the Lions beat the Pies next week, as I suspect, then Pies next have a bye and could drop out of thge 8 altogether by end of next two rounds.

    Yes but Blues would have been on our tail as well.

    Best result was a Blues win. This outcome 2nd best.

    • 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.
