Interesting free against max there right at the end of the QTR , sounds like the umps are going to call him for the "straight arm block" again

    Can someone shed some light how there was no 50m penalty paid when Jones (StK) was [censored] around and not getting off the ball??

    Absolute [censored] take, it was no different to what Fritsch did and he was penalised 50m.

    Nice to see set shots going between the bigger middle sticks. Good work boys. 

    Dramatic turn around in the number of possessions during that term

    at around the ten minute mark we were about ten down and we finished the quarter 11 up

    That quarter turned when we got on top in the middle.

    We clearly have the ability to move the ball and find scoring options against their defence. Need to stay on top in the middle.

    4 goals from 4 set shots.

    Great start from the Dees!

    Not bad from 3 less inside 50s.? Guess Tracs 70 m goal doesnt count.

    Edited by leave it to deever

    Ominous sign right on 1/4 time.

    Max pinged for the ridiculous straight arm rubbish they crucify him with. Him and only him

    Weren't we playing the Saints the last time they pulled the rubbish on him?

    Colour of the jumper only plausible explanation.

    Jones found the uncontested target

    Kicked it over his head!!


    Which team is coming out for the second quarter? That is always the worry. We are obviously prone to the Saints leg speed and quick ball movement so we have to maintain the intensity. Here is hoping!

    Need more from Gus and Oliver. They both had stinkers last week. Need to lift.

    Easy fix  -  run and jump at the ball and tap to advantage 

    He'll adjust

    That's what I thought - the game we ended up losing by 2 pts? Many dubious 50s in that game too

    We were down 0-3 and then 3-6 in clearances but finished the quarter 8-8. 

    The midfield battle is crucial.

    We had Jones on a wing at one stage, which isn't my ideal wing line up.

     Time for Ratten to make a few adjustments and shut us down.

    Slighty harsh on Oliver.  Had 7 touches and 3 clearances that term.

    Agree with Gus.  Viney only the 1 touch as well.

    Who is picking up Butler, can’t tell on TV? Must shut him down.

    • 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.
