Maybe shouldn't have rushed Butters back, eh?

Different leg I think

 

TMac two quick goals. That’s kept us in it here. If we keep the pressure up we’ll win. It’s all down to hunger now boys. Dig in and get the job done!

    We're on top here

    Just poor kicking again.

    2g5b to 2g2b

     

    Should be miles in front

    Have to watch out for the hometown umpiring on the run home

     

     

    This match can’t end soon enough.

    how was that not holding the ball by Powell-pepper took on two tackles and dropped the ball

     

     

    And a failed fend-off. Very lucky he was on the boundary line and stepped over it

    We were outplayed for 2/3 of that quarter but we still outscored them. 

    Great work Dees. Stay strong - 1Q to go.

     

    Lucky end to the quarter.

    We were outplayed and a little flat for most of that quarter so should have plenty in the tank to run over them now.

    Thought Brown had a good QTR (and good game overall). Hasn't kicked a bag, I didn't think he would, but he's been present, in the right spots and delivered well into the 50. I reckon he'll sink one in Q4. A confidence building game so far.

    We’ve extended our lead each quarter.

    Time to step on the windpipe and smother the breath out of them. 


    Decent sized Dees crowd behind the goals. ❤️?

    Rhetorical question - answer is easy. Port player at Adelaide Oval.

    Good 2nd half of that quarter. We got back into it. That Langdon point hurt but luckily McDonald kicked a nice goal. 

    We have led all night and at times comfortably. Now is not the time to drop it. 

    Just need to take our opportunities and continue to attack. 

    Petty has been great tonight

    It was his opposite foot. That being said, it sounded rushed anyway. Mid week I was thinking why would they. I think it’s unlucky and not related, but still a valid question.

    Peps Pig caught with the ball - no free. 

    Holding the ball every day of the week! Pick up put out the don’t argue then spin into another tackle and handball over the line, yeah throw it in. Unbelievable. 

    TMac video of the week !


    Brown + McDonald is like brownies and McDonald's - a winning combo.

    Umps saw the free kick count at halftime and have evened up the ledger.

    So now they can give them the dodgy ones in front of goal.

     

    As an aside, where was the ‘What they are saying down at Alberton’ thread this week?

    How many players can Powell Pepper take on?

    Two and then handball deliberately over the line and no frees at all.  There are diff rules for this mob or whistle just gets put away with the obvious stuff on their side much of the time.

    Gawny works Lycett off the ball in the ruck contest straight after but apparently you're not allowed to be strong in the contest!

    • 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.
