Giants are on the fringes of what you would call "in it". They'd have no fear of being able to reel back the margin though, as long as they throw caution to the wind in the 2nd half. Take a leaf from Melbourne's book - win the clearances and stoppages, and pummel the ball forward at breakneck speed.

    GWS forwards not getting the same protection as the Cat’s forwards. 

    That’s because they’re not playing any forwards that I can see Demonland.

    I never wish injuries on anyone but I wouldn't mind 4 concussions for both sides in one marking contest please and thankyou.

    My favourite part of this game is Soundgarden in the ad breaks. Ch 7 or their OB/prod has a SG fan - they’ve run a few SG songs last few weeks including Outshined, Drown Me at least.

    a huge loss. Last gig. 🥺

    Coniglio has gone backwards as a footballer since he was given the captaincy. 

    Was he ever that good?

    People always raved about him but I ever saw it.

    Low scoring yawn fest with the umpires giving Geelong a free ride.

    Sad when Brown is the most entertaining thing I’ve seen all evening.

    Still holding out hope for GWS somehow miraculously getting across the line. Nothing else to do now that I’ve set aside my evening for this rubbish.

    Foot injury has ruined his career. He was an elite midfielder a few years ago. He broke his ankle and developed syndesmosis in his ankle/foot. Similar to Viney, he now has to manage ongoing foot problems, lost all pace and kicking penetration and is a shadow of the gun player he once was. He’s a c grader now. Sad to see.

    Back to this match. Haven’t checked the tackle count, but I suspect it’s very low. This is the most bruise free final I can remember.

    There was a patch a few years ago (I want to say it was the year before they made the Grand Final) where I legit thought he was the best player in the comp. Never seen anything like that from him since then.

    I'm tossing up between netflix and the hope I'll see Hawkins reported if I stay.

    Netflix probably a better choice - Hawkins could even “do a Toby” on Razor Ray and would get off.

    You have options. We are stuck in lockdown, curfew has kicked in, and it’s pouring rain. 
    WE HAVE NOTHING ELSE LEFT 😭

    In 2018 he was great and he was my smokey for the Brownlow as he was kicking goals while playing in the guts. 

    No idea what's happened but he looks slow and unskilled now. 

     

    Edit - thanks Lord Travis for the update, completely forgot about his injury

    Still saddens me he's gone. 

    I can't get any lower,  still I feel I'm sinking. Haunting lyrics now.

    Based on what we've witnessed so far tonight, if the Dees come to play next Friday, it will be a soft passage into the GF (not ideal imo).

    Yep his 2018 was brilliant. Averaged a touch over 28 disposals and kicked 24 goals during the season. Statistically identical to Petracca’s 2021 season for context.

    I think you don’t quite realise how anti-social I am 😂 I don’t reckon I’ve been out on a Friday night for at least 5 years and have absolutely no intention of starting now. If I could give you my freedom, I would.

    • 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.
