They'll have to move Schache up there where he's even worse than as a defender.

    Would be a fair effort by Essendon to finish on top from here.

    Note that I edited it almost immediately… you must have jumped on it almost as soon as the post landed 😂🤣

    Brisbane have the chance to sew up a home final in Melbourne.

    That is a massive blow for them. Suddenly it’s down to Naughton to carry the forwardline. He’s an excellent forward but that’s a lot of pressure against the best defenses come finals.

    The cats biggest problem is they are too old. they won't have the legs for a finals campaign

    No wonder Scott  keeps going on about shorter quarters

    In terms of the finals race, us winning tomorrow opens up the Eagles to the chasing pack. HQ would love 6 teams to be fighting for 2 spots than 5 fighting for one. The top 4 being separated by half a game and the Round 23 fixture just adds to it.

    I think I'll wind down for the night now Megatron. This game in the west is giving me nothing to work with. Good luck in the NFC North this year btw.

    It's a huge loss for them. After today's game he had 48 goals to his name. You can't replace quality overnight.

    They'll have to reshuffle their forward line. Whether that's bringing Sweet in to ruck, and then throw English forward.

    Bruce out now mean Marra gets 2nd best defender. Huge task coming up to finals..

    They are dropping like flies after a long season with full length games. 
    But if they can pull off an injury free run from here on in they can absolutely win it. They don’t have anymore travel now either which really helps. 
    They are mature and experienced and that always helps in finals. They know how to win it. The closest we got with this squad is a smashing in a Prelim. 
     

    Watch all the cats fans complain about the injuries and blame them for any dips in form, completely ignoring the fact their footy department made that choice to back in their ageing list.

    I don't care what anyone says, he's brilliant on the outside, but has no defensive game at all does Bontempelli. 0 tackles. If he gets votes in that game it's a joke.

    How bloody wonderful was it to see that mob beaten? Another test, another failure. 

    If the Bulldogs aren't winning clearance, they can't win games. They can't even generate inside 50s. Their style won't hold up in finals unless they pull 2 or 3 performances out of their arses. Can't see it. The flag is ours to lose from here.

    He's a great attacking player when its all his way doesn't chase down like Clarry and Trac, down hill skier if you will.

    I feel very sorry for Josh Bruce. Siren goes 2 seconds earlier and he’s about to play finals and in the hunt for a Coleman. For a much maligned player he’s had a great year.

    Those losses to teams outside the 8 are really starting to haunt us.

    This is simultaneously a sarcastic comment noting the Dogs' and Geelong's losses, and truthful.

    Don't forget Port is near certain to finish top 4 despite having a 2-5 record against the top 8.

    • 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.
