The lack of pressure from the mids and high half forwards is the problem more than those missing from the backline. 

Yes that too. But Crows have also gotten more goals from clearances. I don’t think we got our match ups right. May needs to play high on Walker. 

It's half time. Take a chill pill. If we don't turn up in the 3rd quarter then I'll be worried. And then there's always the fourth.

    Yep especially in our forward half.  Kozzie & Spargod rarely sighted.  Both having a mare need to get VERY busy in the second half.

    Once again, Lever doesn’t take the simple first option and butchers it.

    They're in his head today.

     

    Getting beat on the outside back line seems to be not gelling tonight. Bombing ball into fwd 50. Just need to reset

    Not enough our small forward pressure players:

    Spargo

    AnB

    Pickett

    Need a ton more from them.

    It's the game we need to lose to beat the doggies next week.

    I'll show myself the door now.

    Signing off for the night.

    May be the slump we need to have. Can't see us beating Doggies on current form. It's all good.

    Just remember how much this mob were up against Hawthorn some weeks ago and still ended up losing. Look at how Hawthorn have gone since too. It was level-ish at half time when we played Adelaide last season and we ended up flogging them (even though it wasn’t a real season). Let’s see how we adjust in the second half.

    Their footskills having been really good for a bottom 6 side. Not allowing us to set up our defense.

    If there's any consolation, we played like rubbish in the first half and are level...

    Were we too confident dropping Brown?

    The bombing inside 50 in good weather would actually suit him. He has a great reach. 
     

    I don't think may has been all that great today either. Dropped a sitter not manning up properly and not being as reliable today

    the problem is starting in the middle Our pressure just isn't there. We need to lift because we've allowed the Crows to play their game, they're now up and about and full of confidence. 

    We do like a challenge but if you keep tempting fate eventually you'll come undone.

    100% Some of their youngsters coming through are really good kicks. If the ball is coming through that quick no defence will stop it.

    Considering Adelaide's transition and pace, I think it was the right call. Brown's defensive deficiencies are no secret.

    • 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.
