Hunt is a worry

Because he beat Bontempelli in a one on one and wasn’t rewarded with a free kick? FMD.

    Gawn is doing my head in. Be smarter ffs. 

    He just coughs it up far too much. Kills momentum with his turn overs and ****ty taps to the opposition.

    Wieds is making a contest I'll give him that, but he is not best 22 at the moment.

    We are winning games off tremendous workrate and defensive pressure (and Tom McDonald). Let's just bite the bullet and put Wiedeman and Brown at Casey until they can do what Tom can do.

    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 done a couple but your being generous. No matter who is on him He MUST score.

    we started well, but lost the 2nd quarter, hopefully the coach will use that to spur them on a bit more. We know they are going to switch need to be better prepared for it. our picking up of players on the switch resulted in them scoring. We are ahead we just need to keep working hard, and hopefully some of our forwards will start to put in a bit more, even if that is just leading out so as to not crowd the forward line we we take the ball in. all in all a great performance so far, but the job is only half done.

    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 

    Yep, he's playing on an enormous target

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

    Both Weideman and Jackson are simply giving us nothing up forward.

    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.

    Weideman 1 handball to half time. You must be joking. Pity the dogs if we ever get our passengers going. Start polishing your boots for next week Ben

    Why are our players told to stand on mark but theirs aren’t - but they can stand within 5mtrs. 

    Agreed. It’s bizarrely different and seemingly we aren’t in the umps good books.

    The thing is they wouldn't have stuck.

    The umpires haven't missed paying a bunch of  marginal deliberate out of bounds against us this game have they?

    FFS ?????

    Melkshsm 0.5 metres away from ball as it ran out of bounds apparently. That was dog ?umpire.

    I get the feeling the umpires are getting a twisted satisfaction in giving deliberate out of bounds against Melbourne tonight.

    I’ll swim against the tide here and say a 19 point lead against the top team is something I’ll take. 
     

    Forward line pressure and kicking into the fifty has been much improved. Clarry and Tracc have been silk. 
     

    If our form is to be taken into account, we’ll strangle the Dogs as opposed to steamrolling them (if that makes sense). Fingers crossed. ?

    They stick in other contexts... but I get the point... 

    I'm still hoping for the Max Gawn at Kardinia Park breakout, where he feels he belongs...

    To be fair to hunt, razor was on board the bont wankfest and didn't reward hunts great defensive tackle which would have doubled his touches for the half.

    We will win. Levels above. Should be 40 points up, we come home well, the bullies have kicked accurate and their luck will run out. We will play stronger opposition this year. I’m happy to be on us for 25 plus tonight.

    I too would have loved to see BB out there tonight.  English and TMac are showing that if you hold your marks you then go back and kick goals.  Weid has one mark on the wing and a tackle.

    C’mon mate you need to lift in the second half. 

    The key to our dominance in the first quarter was the Centre clearances. We dropped off in the second quarter and it really hurt us. 

    Straw Poll

    19 points up at half time against the top team....

    Would you take it?

    without any buts??

    Weed Jacko and Hunt 4 possessions between them. All low on confidence for some reason. Need to lift as bulldogs cranked it up in the last 10 minutes.

    • 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.
