Port going in with the one genuine ruckman is interesting...

    This will be over at quarter time. 

    Port are finished.

    Ken will sacked by round 7

    The Weed will do some wacking

    I like that "weed wacking". 

    On a serious note, are the bloody media going to beat up every one of our opponents for the next five rounds until its statistically impossible for the opponent to make the eight?

    Annoyed at two interstate games in a row with another six day break.

    The two interstate games in a row issue has no bearing on this match as the second of those games doesn't take place for another nine days after tonight.

    Can't help think the judgment might have been different had Weid played poorly.

    This is probably right, but fortunately he didn't.

    In BBB's absence, we have had the opportunity over the last week to pump up Sam's tyres some more, get him involved in the Captains Run and bouncing off his team mates vs BBB who's been stuck at home. Another week off won't kill Ben, and the potential upside is we get another great game out of Sam which only strengthens our overall list and depth. If we don't get a great game from Sam, we revert to Plan A. I'd prefer an MFC scenario where Sam shoots the lights out.

    Thanks Ds

    Forgot about the Don's game.

    Another Senior  moment.

    Enjoy tonight.

    Flying over with my family for tonight’s game. Really hoping for a good performance otherwise it’ll be a sad flight home.

    Their back line's pretty tall, have they got anyone to go against Kossie, Spargs and ANB?

    Ground ball in the forward line could be where we win it

    I can’t remember anything like our opening rounds fixtures where we played our first four games on a Wednesday night, Thursday night, Friday night and Saturday night. I could get used to the perks of being good.

    I love Thursday night games (one more day of footy) but not when we're involved. Much prefer to see us play on Friday night or the weekend.

    Hopefully this is our last Thursday night game of the year unless we're at the G.

    Bring on  Wed  nights too.

    Edited by leave it to deever

    Got well beaten in the clearances at times last week.

    Cant see it happening again.

    I'm sure we will get a good run from the umps with such a parochial crowd though.

    No worry we have this one.

    As devils advocate, what if both Weid and Tmac have rippers and I hope they do?

    If Weideman continues to strive & fight for the front position (as he did against Essendon) he will make it and become a regular fixture in the seniors

    He has all the other attributes, he's athletic, he can take a mark and he's a good kick

    It won't bother me (or the MC I suspect) if he ends up running under the ball occasionally whilst playing in front.  But 2nd or 3rd in line for the mark doesn't work

    I wish him all the best as we'd all like to see him succeed

    Agree with this. Love Thursday nights but not us!

    Both Weiderman and TMac know they have to play well, it is a great position for the Club to be in. 
     

    Goal Assists are just as important as goals

    Worth noting that one genuine ruckman is nowhere near the level of either of our 2 genuine ruckman. going to be a fun night of our mids having the upper hand.

    Its a tough call though as Bbb seems to be the premier choice regardless.

    Yep as it should be, but both should be desperate.

    Teams have learnt to read Gawn’s taps. But Jackson is the one who is difficult to play against because he gets his own ball.

    I must be a pessimist because I’ve actually backed Port to win at the $3.50 mark. I don’t think we are playing good footy. I think Essendon are a legit VFL level side, and we struggled with them for much of last week. I also think we carried many passengers from the week before into that game. Also, it’s in Adelaide. The umpiring will be next level. How much longer can we keep wrestling against momentum in matches where umpiring dictates the flow of the game. At some point a team gets tired. We are constantly umpired out of games we somehow wrestle back momentum and win. Due for a loss.

    • 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.
