Maysie was good but not sure he was even top 5.

Ummm he was leading the 1%, he held Buddy goalless. I bet he will feature strongly in the coaches votes. He. Is. A. Star.

    Petty looked nervous early but never stopped competing. I expect with a good run of games he'll settle in well.

    Harmes also showed why he belongs in the middle. Did a mountain of work, he breaks tackles with ease.

    • Harmes was excellent
    • Brown good - can't wait til he's fully fit in another few weeks
    • Spargo massive (metaphorically speaking)
    • T Mac is back, if he wasn't already
    • Desperately need Viney back in - takes so much heat off Trac & Clarry
    • Not convinced on Petty yet but will judge in a few weeks
    • Fritsch terrible, looked lazy, hope he cops a rocket 

    Can't understate this enough. He's a critical part of our midfield rotation and whilst Jordon and Harmes were good in spurts, Viney's defensive work in the stoppages is vital.

    May was a champion too as was Oliver and Sparticus.

    Harmes stood up in his first game.

    Swans put a lot of effort in holding players all night and the umps to their credit let them get away with it.

    Very bluudy poor imho.

    One thing on our side, we back our defensive 6 in so much, we keep a spare at the contest, not behind the ball. Helps us immensely.

    Fritta was putrid, the rest did what they needed. Jordan was good for a young fella. 

    Go Dees. Suck eggs Feral South’s supporters, back to the wharfs for you on Monday.

    I already mentioned this in the votes thread, but a most dishonorable mention to Luke Darcy for referring to James Jordon as Jordon Jones several times on the telecast. Sharpen up or get out of the way of the many thousands of footy fans who'd love to be on the money you're on, who actually know the players names. Muppet.

    Biggest winner of the night? That’d be the obnoxious Swans supporter sitting behind me. He’s a winner coz he’s going home with his nose intact, as in, unbroken. He’s lucky Dees faithful are not thugs. 
    ❤️?❤️?❤️?

    Just needed to vent. 
    I’m all good now. 
    GO DEEEEEEEZ!!!!!

    Tom McDonald BOG

    Tom "Terrific" Ripper Ripper Game. Cometh the moment. Cometh the man. Kicked some 'clutch' goals tonight to deny the swannies, back to his best footy. Where are all the self-appointed drop Tom brigade now?

    T shirt Tommy 3 votes, career best form, absolute juggernaut of the game, proving doubters wrong on a weekly bases. Strutting around town like i own the place.

    I [censored] love this game, i love you all,this is madness.

    Primetime Dees, i can get used to this.

    Cheers.

    Goodwin in the presser noting we lost centre clearances 4-17.

    That's a shocking result, but the fact we could still win against a side starting the round in the top 4 is a good sign.

    33-22 in stoppage clearances so it wasn't all bad.

    I'm going (have gone) on record to say I'm sticking fat with Harrison Petty, irrespective of Tom McDonald being an awesome forward again. He's young and inexperienced key defender, but given the chance to settle and develop cohesion with May and Lever, he WILL deliver. 

    He will be a star.

    I'm an old bloke ... in my sixties. I was sitting with a mate.

    On the other side was a woman who was about my age. Demons supporter. She was sitting with her husband. She was very charming .... apparently her husband doesn't rate her comments. Not sure why not. She added to my enjoyment of the match.

    Our midfield got an absolute bath. Ben Matthews will be smiling I reckon.

    Credit to the forwards for getting a score, and very much credit to our backline for a huge job.

    But the mids need a kick in the backside.

    Harmes - zero first options

    Clarry - flat footed

    Gawn - awful.

    Petracca - going for too much.

    JJ - effort good but execution lacking

    Brayshaw - diabolical 

    Tom Sparrow in please.

    Our Centre clearance work this season has been woeful. We need Viney back and we need Gawn to either learnt to do a better job tapping to advantage or we need to play Jackson in there as he wins his own ball.

    Does she have a rather harsh voice and isn’t afraid to use it? And bickers with her husband. If so I sat near her last week and couldn’t stop laughing

    Clarry had 10 clearances. BOG with Tmac and May. 
    Agree on the rest.

    • 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.
