I dunno. On paper they are so talented but I don’t rate their coach. They’ve had a gun team for so long but something is just NQR. 

100% the coach IMO.

Anyone else watch/remember the 'Making Their Mark' doco series? I think Dimma is a bit of a kn*b, but the difference between his team meetings and the Cameron ones were stark. Every Richmond player knew the answers to Dimma's questions, every hand up, positive and proactive, then cut to Cameron's ones and it was just him abusing a room full of young men all with their heads down and not talking.

    100% agreed. Cameron and GWS came out of that doco looking far worse than all others. It basically showed Cameron as a negative abusive coach who didn’t have buy in from his players. The way he handled Coniglio and leadership was poor. He didn’t have strong strategies in place and understanding from his players. It was shocking to see. As long as he’s coach of GWS, they’re going nowhere. He’s a poor coach and if they had someone like Goodwin or Hardwick instead they’d have won a flag already.

    As for this match, it’s poor quality. Port remain an average team, but I’m surprised Brisbane aren’t performing better. They’re in their sweet spot to challenge and have the talent.

    I’m really unimpressed by this game. 
    I assume it’s humid and hot hence the poor ball handling. But both teams look lethargic.

    Haha even the universe has it in for Joe Daniher.

     

    Poor Joe Daniher has just confirmed that he is THE dumbest footballer in the competition.  Hand balling after the siren when he marked straight in front. 


    Daniher smiling and shaking every ones hand before going in to the change rooms to me means he is going to cop a Fagan blast. What a complete phuknuckle

    I’ve grown over the years and don’t like to disparage players… Joe D is an interesting individual, like wow, a case study of some kind. How much are they paying him?

    He has the ability to do the magical, on rare occasions but far to often he’s off with his head noise having a dance party and loving it.

    Doesn’t look like either of these teams will finish top 4 with this display.
    Bring the heat and both of these teams will crumble. Nothing has changed since last year.

    Maybe 17 clubs know they can’t match a certain team? Did they watch the GF last year and go OMG

    I’m very disappointed with Brisbane. They look slow, lethargic and their skills are absolutely god awful. What has happened here? 
    Port look hungrier but I struggle to rate them. Maybe that’s on me. 


    Somehow Joe Daniher has been the most interesting thing about this game.

    The Pear are going to end up with 17 players and a 50 point flogging.

    Here he is, Joe D to shut us all up.

    Chris Johnson has been excellent in commentary, excellent.

    This is quite a different contest now.

    • 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.
