I felt it didn’t look like a Melbourne game the first qtr. We got a few flukey goals and a couple from first half turn overs, we didn’t get too many through our conventional method which was a worry.

 

Our kicking for goal has been crap again - Dogs got a couple of lucky ones in comparison.

Gawns shot looked a goal. We  must have had a crap camera angle.

Petracca , Salem , Max , Brayshaw trying their hearts out.

Why Does our defense all of a sudden look so fickle?

Gee May is a liability, not flying for the ball, caught well behind, fumbling the ball. 

That fumble in the first quarter was a shocker too. He doesn't look right at all.

    Why didn't we even see a review of that? It looked like a goal on the broadcast. Very confusing.

    I jumped off the couch when he kicked it looked like it went straight through. Gawny thought it was a goal.

    Fritsch has been poor the whole finals series. His kicking inside 50 has been shaky, keeps trying a kick running parallel to the goals and has missed it multiple times.

    Seriously? He kicked 6 goals in the first two games of the finals series. He was poor this quarter but to say that he's been poor the whole finals series is just wrong.

    The Melbourne of 2021 turns it around and regains control this quarter. But Grand Finals are different. It is definitely the Dogs' game to lose at this point.

    May carrying his injury? Whatever it is, he isn't himself.

    Can't let Bont mark uncontested, surely someone can get a fist on the ball

    Petty is our only tall defender, May looks injured and Lever has been really scrappy. Also, we don't have Smith as an emergency to cover May. TMc hasn't fired a shot up forward. If May can't play we need to get him off, move TMc forward and put JJ on the tag.

    Huge effort needed from here

    we got ambushed in that 2nd Quarter

    I feel sick right now. I'm scared to see what happens next, especially if the Dogs get the first goal in Q3.

    It’s all on the line this quarter 

    Have we got the balls for it ?

    How was the pie?

    But yes. Premiership quarter coming up. Carn Dees


    Need some Kozzie magic

     

    Our wings have been ordinary

    Our fwds are struggling

    Our defence is in complete disarray

    Our mids are missing

    Grounds balls are being won by the dogs

    Viney and harmes need to clamp someone.  TMac WTF?

    Goodwin has an opportunity to show the world what he made of. 

     

    Our leaders need to lead

    We missed some great opportunities in the first quarter too, that really burns.

     

    It should be easy to stop Bont. He is setting up space to run into to mark. Just need to block it.

    I feel like we are doing nothing to counter the Schache tag. What should happen is May should line Schache up and run right through him at the start of Q3. Make him think twice

    • 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.
