Jeez, imagine if this 17th placed team with 10 of their best 22 out were like us…enjoying a full fit list including some of the superstars of the game. 

 

If you were to watch this game without knowing ladder position, you would 100% think the Hawks are #1 and we're #17, and the Hawks haven't put their foot down yet.

    Any chance Goodwin can start coaching and stop watching replays on an ipad!?

    I've turned off, its unwatchable, we are not a top 4 team, don't let our ladder position fool you

    I hate to say this… but something amazing will have to happen to not make this game a negative.

    Bloody lamentable.

    WTF is going on? Can anyone take a clean possession and if they do could someone give off cleanly to one of our guys in a position to do something positive? What a fricking mess that quarter was, no system, just a slog. Where are our A graders, Oliver and Tracc to get some system going?

    Free kick hawthorn making a come back. 
    Don’t care if we win this tonight …. We cannot be serious about winning many finals this year. We crack under any sign of pressure on the ball. Every team can see this clear as day. 

    You've played like garbage but you need forget it, 1 quarter. Get in there and play like it means something for crying out loud.


    We will have lost to 15th 16th 17th

    Really disappointed in our leaders tonight, where lacking any composure at all and this is against a wooden spoon contender.

    And people don’t think we should call Clarkson. The man is a genius. Getting out coached and out played badly. 


    The way we play week to week ...

    Lets say as a hypothetical we won the flag this year.
    I'd back it in we'd drop out've the 8 next year.
    They players would decide they'd done enough and slacken right off.

    Calling Clarkeson would be a ballsy move but I'd like it.
    He wouldn't stand for that sheet.


    Can’t blame the umpires here. Hawks are hungrier than us. Winning contested possession. Winning the tackle count. They’re working harder and deserve to be in front.

    We should win still, but what a [censored] performance this has been. Coaches need to work out how to motivate the players. The mental fragility still exists.

    Showing us up as probable pretenders tonight.  Good teams don't struggle this badly against a bottom two team.

    Any chance we can kick to a lead?

    I’ve seen losses where we’ve played better than tonight. [Censored] off Melbourne. 


     

    Obvious free kick to Lever.... NO FREE!!

    • 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.
