Reckon the Roos have shown the rest of the comp how to play us (although dirtily).
 

Inflicting injuries is our Achilles heel, who would’ve thought 😞

They also showed how to cut up our zone.

    We were in much better form last season and it looked it

    Except for all the times during that same season when everyone said the same thing about our inaccurate kicking. We never really looked like losing in any aspects of todays game, poor kicking aside.

    I do think that inaccurate kicking more often than not is one of the worst parts of our game, but I'm sure we'll cope. Just as we did in 2021.

    Sorry - didn't follow the game day chat - does anyone know what actually happened to Langdon?  The Foxtel commentary (aka Kangaroos support club) hardly said boo about the injury.

    We should have spanked them.

    Thats a win for North.

    inaccurate as always, we are primed for a finals upset.

    Along with the Eagles, North concede the most amount of points and inside 50s against yet we looked to be going uphill for 75% of the game

    Both North and Eagles arguably put up their biggest fights of the year against us outside of their wins. If North go into that with their normal plan we win by 180 points. They threw everything at us and it was still almost a 10 goal win. What do you people want?

    One of those games where you just bank the four points and move on to next week. The game certainly wasn't without its frustrations but I was expecting North to challenge us given that teams are clearly trying to find ways to shut us down. 

    Oliver can take a bow. Best on ground by a country mile.

    Can't complain with being 10-0. We're off to an even better start than last year.

    It’s not as easy as that. We are being hunted each week 

    Yes our goal kicking must improve, but i have no problem with our endeavour 

    We are playing tough footy. 
    Without Langdon and Viney. 
     

    This was Noughts biggest game of the year. Next week they will be crap again. 
     

    Meanwhile we are 10-0

    I hope Mr Ed is ok

    Melbourne supporters who say that was the most “pathetic” football we have played in a long time and that we’re “not a proper team” don’t have a basic understanding of football.

    Melbourne are a system-based team. This means that our team is designed to play the same way week in, week out. We could be like Geelong and change tactics every week to smash bottom sides by 80+, but that’s what let’s you down in finals. That’s why teams like Geelong have done nothing in September.

    Some of our fans have no idea just how good we have it. We had the same type of  performances against bottom teams last year and what happened? We won the [censored] premiership. So those people suggesting that we’re not gonna perform against the better teams as a result of how we played today are absolutely clueless about the game.

    Just amazing how people's goalposts have shifted since we've become a good side. I get that we're better now and should expect better, but my word the entitlement creeping in here is worrisome.

    I was one of the 13,000 at the ground. It was genuinely such a weird vibe for the first quarter. It had all the feeling of a preseason game.

    I also think that stadium plays very differently to any other ground. North tried to work through our zone with precision short kicking that in all seriousness they couldn’t execute on at any other ground. The surface is like carpet. It’s like the difference between indoor soccer and soccer. The basic skills are the same, but the games play entirely differently.

    I thought we just had a better quality of player, and that was the difference. Both teams tried hard.

    • 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.
