Saints and Dogs look ordinary

We would’ve beaten either of these two.

    Same with (Easton) Wood, (Caleb) Daniel   ...

    Too much time on my hands?

     

    evens out when compared to 'the bont' and other familiarisations

    Big step up to the top four from these two teams, never been more evident

    Why all the negativity? I thought that was a very watchable game. The end was brilliant.

    Hope West Coke win. At least I will have picked 1 winner. I also hate the filth.

    What a great game. Saints nearly stuffed it but happy for them. But they have no chance against Richmond if Ryder isn't available. 

    Now we just need west coast to thrash the pies and the storm to win and it will be a good weekend.

    nice! tight game but lacklustre on the box; how is it at the ground?

    Was high pressure and the come back by the dogs was priceless. Made for a great game for an independent supporter. 
    Saint supporters would have been [censored] themselves at the end.

    Happy for the Saints to win however they led by as much as 4 goals with 11 minutes to go in the last quarter and hung on to win by 3 points. It reminded me of Melbourne  you just knew that the Dogs were going to make a last ditch effort somehow the Saints hung on.  Heart  wrenching stuff for  the  Saint supporters.

    Hardwick was whinging again! 

    Said tigers were undisciplined in giving up 5 goals from frees and 50m penalties while saying the umps were 'trigger happy' and they should let the players play.

    His team showed complacency and arrogance before the bounce and played that way.  Got what they deserved.

    Hardwick is up there with Scott on my disliked coach list!

    Yes, but what does Mrs Hardwick think about the situation? I respect her opinion more than her husband's.?

    On the subject of Bruce - what the [censored] is a "hat trick" doing in the lexicon of our game?

    @Rab D Nesbitt?

    @Skuit?

    @Wobbly Bob?

    Gents, doyens, pedants,  is it appropriate language?

    Yeah not sure why hat trick has come in recently. Maybe coz scoring 3 is a big deal these days?

    we have brought in so many annoying Americanisms like lace out and three peat, maybe they are starting on bring in European phrases now??

    Gotta feel for Ryder. Played a brilliant game. 

    32yo won his first final ever. Then does his hammy in the last few minutes. 

    You couldn't script it

    Ugh this is what I was afraid of with collingwood. They have the ability to stand up and perform well when they aren't rated. 

    Come on west coast. By the way Nic Nat missed a few easy tackles in there.

    Cox psyched himself up by convincing himself he’s playing against MFC.

    • 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.
