We've been harsh on Goody and the boys and rightly so,  but I'm extremely proud of this effort tonight. Superb. 

Enjoy all!

    Baker stood up, May is awesome and after all the negative publicity around him last year I hope the media give him the praise he deserves. A great season. 

    Langdon, wow just awesome, his gut running is fantastic. 

    A great win and well done melbourne

    While he didn't hit the scoreboard, I thought Mitch Brown was good for us tonight.  13 touches and 7 marks and he got up the ground to give us a target as well.  His experience was on full display throughout this game.

    Makes the decision to drop him last week for Preuss look even worse than it already did.

    Great observation I thought the same.

    Agreed. Looked good down back when he was there too. Cool head. Underrated player imho.

    We won a tight contested game that mattered. That is a good result.

    We play essendon next week.

    Hope that gold coast can beat the filth.

    Let’s hope that we don’t do the Melbournian thing next week.

    Pity the little b got up though. Would have been Melksham’s best moment for weeks.

    A great win indeed.

    But job is not done. Glad the players didn't over celebrate. Job is not done, as we need a few things to go our way.

    On a personal note, I'm very proud of Charlie Spargo. Kid (yes he is only 20 years of age) cops it more then any other player on our list, and to see him play a significant role in tonight's win kudos to his extreme hard work off field.

    He's one of the few forwards we have with actual 'football sense'. A few good tap on, that kick he managed to hoik back to the goal sqaure. Happy with his performance.

    No I'm with you here. 

    His work rate was immense, and gave us a good target, especially in the 3rd quarter.

    Only in hindsight.

    Brown was poor against Swans, and has been mediocre all year. Still, hope he can back it up against his old club, hard to see him getting dropped on that performance.

    Or a GCS win would be almost as good. Pies have Port in the last round. Both would be ideal!

    This!! If we could sneak in at Collingwood’s expense...

    Bizarre that we were playing a crippled TMac for so long ahead of him. Truly some odd team selections this year

    It beggars belief that with a wet windy day in Cairns forecast, we dropped him for Preuss to play Preuss as a forward last week.

    If you want to reduce the season down to one major mistake, that maybe is it.

    Rubbish. Hindsight just confirmed how bad of a decision it was.

    In what world is Preuss a forward? Particularly given the weather conditions we knew was coming (we picked the side 24 hours beforehand). Brown mightn't have been amazing against St Kilda, but he wasn't terrible either.

    Any chance of the Hawks pulling off a hail Mary tomorrow?

    Can’t see it happening but who knows. I’ll be going for them for the first time ever.

    I really did not see that coming.

    Lever made mistakes early but he and May in the final quarter were huge.

    Rivers is a gem.

    Spargo certainly did his job. Pickett much improved. Baker gave us a second wing.

    Keeps hope alive for one more week at least. And was a great game to boot.

    Have to say i was super critical of Lever  and i stand by it, but he had a terrific last qtr. Good on him.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
