I hope this isn’t the Last time we play on the MCG this year

Something tells me this might be the case SWYL. I hope the situation in Melb can get better for all the diehards who have shed blood, sweat and tears for this club.

    Couple of things can come from this game.

    1. Take back top spot and go into next week with more confidence, with 3 on the trot.

    2. More touch for our forward half connection. I expect Fritsch to get on the end of a few today. 

    3. Oliver's game vis a vis the Coaches Votes/Brownlow.

    May out and Smith in.  I wonder how early in the week Smith knew?  Good chance to give May a rest, and to see where Smith fits in.  I reckon Petty steps into the May role, and smith plays more of a hybrid hunt/petty role.  A good chance for all in such glorious conditions.

    Today feels like a nothing game. We don't have to win, we just have to beat Geelong to finish 2nd or even top if port goes down the the Dogs. . 

     

    doesn't seem to be on ch7 in melb

    anyone have any more info (other than fox/kayo)? 

    If Joel Smith leaks less than 3 goals, that’s a win. I hope he makes me eat my hat.

    Seven are doing the later game. 

    No worries about giving Maysie a rest. I'm actually surprised a few other guys weren't "managed".....particularly a couple of the younger guys.

    cant see Crows scoring much without walker.

    Probably be good for the younger guys to get a good run at the ‘G.

    As long as it is just a well earnt rest and nothing more serious because no doubt that without May we cannot win a flag. 

    No May and no Tmac. Definitely not confident. 


    Good call resting May. We have Cats and first final coming up over a 7-8 day period and he’ll be cherry ripe

    The over confidence of some on here who just never learn brings on my MFCSS severely.

    We have seen over and over this season if you are off your game, you can get rolled easily.

    I will take a one point win as long as we don’t cop any injuries. 
    Starting to cop a few and it’s a real worry. 

    Could be a bit in and out of this game at the start, a friend had a bad accident at work last week and ended up in hospital. We're finally allowed to talk with him on the phone so game on in the background and thread open :)

    Don’t understand why Weid didn’t get a run. Right weather and down a couple of key position players.

    Other than 'yuk', this has a touch of Shakespeare about it

    Think his papers are stamped unfortunately for him.

    Comments by supporters on a website have absolutely no bearing on how the team performs.

    Which is the main thing.
    More important than anything we need to go in with a fit list.

    • 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.
