Name a team that isn’t completely reliant on their two best players? It’s an odd thing to be annoyed about.

Yeo tackled him high, ended up on the ground beside him. Rolled on to him and held him down for a good fifteen seconds.

It was a fantastic goal but geez that should have been fifty but the umpires are too gutless to call it.

"Courageous" stuff there from the big-bodied WC mid.

Really struggles to get separation

Doesn't have a quick step or baulk, easy to predict him rounding onto the left

I suppose the heavy track doesn't help.

No way Kozzie milked that

As the ump said, it was a coat hanger. And yet Yeo not only deliberately and obviously retarded Kossie getting up, but kept shaking his head at the decision. Home ground Eagles know they can exert this kind of influence over the umpires, and it will ultimately work for them. If I was an umpire, that kind of stuff would sh** me blind. I just don’t understand how they’re so easily swayed.

    Ridiculous comment.

    He is a better option against Nic Nat. Goldstein, Nic Nat worry Max. Something Max has admitted.

    Let’s see what happens to them now without Bruce. They have great midfield depth but no key position depth. Every team has their particular strengths.

    Maybe have him 1 out in the goal square with BB 30 meters out.

    Not reliant on bont and mcrae?

    You're kidding aren't you?

    our chance to go to the top of the ladder again and with a couple more wins, especially against Geelong, stay there. Players need to pull their finger out and get moving.

    It’s disgraceful umpiring, but we know that’s 90% odds-on to happen over there, worth about 6 goals a game. The bigger question is why we’re slowing the game down at the wrong times. No run-past, no quick decision making to expose their lack of speed. They also beat us in contested ball that quarter. Don’t correct that, we don’t win, particularly not with their crowd umpire advantages. Simples. 

    Ask James Jordon that question. Twice he slowed the game at half forward. Must be better

    Come on Demons - show them you can will need to beat 25 of them.

    Love to see the dogs without the Bont (don't even need to name another player, as that would be enough).

    I would say that Jackson has done well tonight. I would let him have a solid run NicNat. He can outleap him now, just needs to make sure his taps hit the target. Will struggle body on body at the throw ins.

    Max, Oliver and Tracc have to turn it on in the second half.

    Either we bring our pressure game now or goodnight. Umps will find a few more goals for Eagles as they always do. We need to win that contested ball and create scoring opportunities.

    Weid would have been handy out there.

    Coz his overhead marking recently has been superb?

    Well for as bad as that quarter was where still in front. Need to lift big time. 

    Can someone, anyone on Demonland who thinks we don't get a rough run from the umpires, please explain the free kick against Rivers.

    That is the worst free kick in the last 15 years of footy. The explanation was an absolute joke and 100% incorrect 

    We're getting belted by umpires.

     

    Lots more players need to get involved and get the game back on our terms.

    • 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.
