Lost our heads in the last few minutes. Vinny keeps doing too much. Fritta absolutely shocking. TMac great intercept but why handball 15m? Kozzie, shocking kick. 

But of course overall very good ?.


Wowee is Jack Viney the biggest liability out there?

    Yes. Making Harmes look like he can actually take players on.

    Jeeeez Viney stunk it up that qtr.....getting stuck into the umpires at qtr time wasn't a great look either.....

    A big issue is that Viney seldom gets dropped. If he's fit, Goodwin and the selectors generally consider him an automatic in.

    My anxiety gone by half time. That couldn't have gone any better.

    Great to be up, but horrible last 10 minutes with a ridiculous amount of possession that really sums up the Dee's broader issues:

    - Getting ahead of ourselves and being our own worst enemy

    - not composing ourselves heading inside 50

    - trying to do too much (Viney consistent offender)

    - Missing EASY goals again... at least 4 easy shots in that period each missed by like 20 metres, WTF guys?

     

    Any danger we can compose ourselves and play percentage football?

    100%. We coughed up some absolutely stock standard chances, the good thing about that is that it gives Goodwin something to talk to the players about. He should be filthy that they wasted those golden opportunities, Brown should have a bag we’re it not for some poor final kicks. 

    Viney, it’s hard not to love his determination, but an armchair tap down from Gawn and he decides to take on the entire GC midfield. First option Jack! Head on the black now, if he doesn’t have a good second half I’d be bringing in either Jordon or Melksham for him. Can’t have both him and Harmes trying to fend off every bloody player.

    Hes an absolute mess of a player.

    Needs to FRO to Casey and learn to play football. This guy will kills us come finals.

    The issue I have is Goodwin is unfortunately too soft to drop him.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast Eagles

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
