3 times this qtr we’ve have easy rooms into the fwd 50 for zero goals.

Petty started well but looks spent coming into half time.

2 arsey swans goals from blind Melbourne handballs in the last line of defence.
But we have to start winning it in the centre or we won't win this match.

McDonald, Hibberd, May, Oliver, Langdon, Jackson all good this quarter.

The rest have a long way to go.

Fritsch is playing a shocker

    FMD. Langdon should’ve had a kick in front. Umpires are woeful

    Why are our marks at the end of the slide but every other teams at the start?

    Petty would lose a contest against a traffic cone on exposed form.

    Started to dominate in that second quarter. Could very well have been another 4 goals up. Torched about 3 gimme goal opportunities.

    Will take that any day of the week getting pantsed in clearances.

    Sydney are such a bore. I would hate to support such a boring team. I hate playing them for this exact reason. They grind you down. 
    Missed too many opportunities in front of goal. Should be 4 goals up.

    If Weideman kicks a bag tomorrow he has to be an automatic replacement for Petty.

    You know they play at opposite ends of the ground right?

    It’s a tough slog. Swans are 4th for good reason. They’ve got good scalps already this year. We need to get better at clearances and kicking into f50. It’s slippery, so hopefully our fitness allows us to get that separation and take uncontested marks to maintain possession. 
    looking forward to a big 2nd half

    really ? Would never have guessed ?

    I thought that game was postponed - hopefully they do play and Weed plays a blinder

    • 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.
