I gotta say that from 5-1 they just more did good things but were still sloppy. Max did enough but cost us goals with dropped marks, bad taps, and being painfully slow at the end.

Oliver should get the 10 coaches votes tonight.

I think he would be the first to admit he had an off night, he did some very uncharacteristic mistakes.

I must have watched a different game. It was his best game for weeks. 5 contested marks. Taps very good

A couple of mistakes doesn't cancel out a player's influence. 20 possessions, 10 marks and a goal.

I cannot fathom giving votes to Gawn. He was up against one of the worst Ruckman in the league today. His game was all stats no product and to top it off, he made 2-3 mistakes that led directly to goals for the crows. Not good enough for the votes.

The first point can sometimes be overcome by a team mate running past for an easy handball receive. It did happen once or twice tonight.

The second - he took 10 and dropped 2.

If you are talking about first option then I'd be lining up Petracca, Harmes and most of the rest of the team before Max.

Can't say that I've noticed the spoiling of team mates as a significant problem.  As probably the best contested mark in the game maybe they should be providing coverage for him so he doesn't get bashed from pillar to post every game, or get out of his way.

The final one was a disgraceful flat footed effort by both Hibberd (Rowe's man) and Oliver.  As pointed out on the commentary there was nothing wrong with the tap.  It went exactly where it was supposed to.  Hibberd was supposed to check Rowe - he didn't; and Oliver didn't move (he should have).  The whole clearance thing is an inexact science with multiple variables.  Being on the move is one of the non-negotiables.

So my point stands - Max's errors did not contribute any more substantially to the loss than most of the others that were made tonight.

The final one was on Hibberd IMO, he got in Oliver’s way

A bit harsh on Gawn. Reality is we only had 2 good players. Oliver had a blinder and Petracca was good even though his fumble cost us the game. The rest you could have given votes to anybody no one was really worthy of votes. To only go down by a point and it should have at least been a draw due to that home town deliberate decision not being paid was a good effort.

Have a look at the Crows Coach presser. You might form a different view. Yet you include Petracca who made many more errors than Gawn, and Jackson because of?

  • 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.
