What for? Being blocked off the ball… stop looking to make yourself look smart.

Head was going side to side like a sideshow clown looking for a ping pong ball

Should've just been watching English and avoided the block

 

Gawn, Jackson, Weiderman,  Hunt have all been pathetic.  

Both Weideman and Jackson are simply giving us nothing up forward. Put in another performance that half and they can spend next week at Casey.

What's Hunts role exactly? Dead set witches hat having 1 disposal in a half of football playing in one of the easiest positions on the ground.

    Their only strength remains the freeballing, unpressured kick straight into the forward line, accompanied by semi-hidden throws. We have been stronger all over the ground. They take full advantage of every freed up moment they get.

    If Jackson or Weid could actually mark the ball, we win by 8 goals.


    It’s a game right now, don’t care about the score the Dogs have shown just how they can score and score quickly this year. I just feel if we’re getting half chances in the middle and winning the ball we’ve got to make them pay. We’ve also gotta force more contests and not have it pinging around like a pinball machine all the time. The key is to frustrate the dogs and tire them. Lock it in the forward line and get to work.

    Always take a 19 point lead going into half time against anyone, but against the dogs it’s very good. Couple of lapses gave them an in back into the game.

    Disappointing to give those two late goals back. Should be further in front. But they lifted that quarter and we still dominated for most of it. 

    Big third quarter coming up.

    How many marks is Weideman going to drop.

    Our inability to kick on from five goal leads is painful.

    Fair suck of the Saveriro Rocca mate...

    They're the top team... and a bloody good team too...

    That deliberate OOB where Harmes decided to basically shepherd the ball out was embarrassing. How can the kicking player be penalised for the the actions of the recipient?

    Our players are getting called to play on a lot quicker from marks than the Bulldogs are, Johannisen was allowed to stand 5mtrs off the line from where Melks had to stand the mark and took a good 10secs before kicking. ??‍♂️

    Geez the dogs are brilliant at the quick handball , throwing but they really do get away with a few throws. It’s like the umpires are scared to call it due to how good they do handball 

    Fixed it for you

    How good do we have to play to get the plaudits on here?

    Thought Weideman was a touch quiet that half with the one handball to his name.

    To his credit, he nearly got a goal with that handball. 

    Hunt needs a kick up the motivational cavity.

    So does gus.

    I think Sam will get dropped at his rate.

    5 mark attempts, has crashed packs... 5 could have stuck another night. Takes a forward from TMAC.... a range of things he is doing that doesn't quite count on the stats sheet...

    Hes too predictable. Even when it hits the ground he's [censored] useless.

    How silly of him trying to organise the defence, he should have just been selfish and focus on one bloke and made sure he didn’t get a block off the ball….. ok chief 

     

    We haven’t dropped off. It’s just that they’ve lifted in that second quarter.

    This is one of your worst. 

    You’re upset about us not kicking on from a 5 goal leas against the ladder leaders?

    • 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.
