    Smith has been super. 

    BBB is our number 1 key forward

    Still amazed Bowey is a 3rd gamer he is so clean and composed.

    BBB - score review.  What was the call?  Cant see evidence of touch.   

    P1ssweak technology AFL.

    Just do something about it Gil you prancing polo pony

    I'd say the sound was the players hand hitting bb's foot but bc the video was so pathetic they couldn't isolate it

    AFL is a multi billion$ industry and we put up with crap technology

    Why is may out please?

    General soreness be back next week.

    Backline needs to work out there structure better to many loose players, mids need to lift round the ball, crows getting to many touches, fwd line good work from limited chances 

    Edited by Garbo

    Big Ben Brown is the forward we have been screaming out for...

    Thank you footy gods..

    Funny how BBB was one of my most hated players in the competition 12 months ago and now one of my favorites for doing the exact same thing.

    Fritsch is a dumb footballer sometimes

    Needs to pull his finger out - would be the logical out for TMc .

    Already behind VDB medical sub in DT points -3.

    Not surprising we started slow. Lucky to be in front. Jackson is pure class we have to do everything we can to keep. Potentially best player on our list and he only 19

    Clearly we are semi resting Oliver and Trac. They’re barely in any of the centre bounces. 
    Playing with fire. But also understandable. 

    Midfield possessions

    Adelaide 30

    Melb 13

    ffs they're lazy sometimes

    Needed the extra pre season though Chook.  Multiple leads, strength in contest and ground ball follow up.  Might play in our favour now touch wood.

    Good point. He's in better physical shape now than he was then, so probs a good move all said.


    Picket , Fritsch, Petracca and Brayshaw 3 touches between them….ugh!

    The obvious question is, why don’t we bring our pressure game every opening quarter? The obvious statement is, Joel Smith has been our best so far. 

    Not bad.

    We’re absorbing the pressure well and using BBB as we should.

    Fritta seems to be stoned.

    I’ll take leading at quarter time considering that was one of our worst efforts so far, poor defensive pressure, loopy handballs and when we did kick the ball we tended to just bombed it with the wind. 🤦🏼‍♂️

    Mids need to lift definitely! Run is also down. Let’s see what happens this quarter.


    Mids getting taught a lesson. Harmes jogging after blokes. So frustrating

    Ah that's right, there's no holding the ball, and there's  no illegal disposal...

    We are playing a lot more through the Langdon wing today which explains why Gus isn’t having a lot of it. 
    Nice to see Ed with some touch.

    Brayshaw still doing good things without the footy, but everyone else (particularly Kozzy and Fritsch) need to lift.

    • 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.
