Look Geelong are going to come out hard straightaway. They would be so annoyed the way we just steamrolled them and humilated them last year. 

We have to be switched on right from the start. 

Petty and May are going to have huge jobs tonight. 

Tonight will be the perfect time for our forward line to just suddenly click. 

To the Melbourne fans going down there well done, there is no way I could have gone down there tonight, god knows what time Id get home and have to get up so early for work. I know you will be drowned out but barrack hard as possible. 

And the thing that really annoys me is we still have to play down there. We are the reigning premiers. I would have thought this year we'd deserve to miss those trips. We should have earnt the right to play at pour ground for a home game. 

Lets hope this is the last time we play there.

    I see in the little paper Geelong are still banging on about the "virus" that "swept through" the team prior to the Preliminary Final and how they wanted to ask the AFL to postpone the match.

    'It's not an excuse mind you Melbourne were very good.'

     

     

    I want to smash this team like never before.

    I hope our team believes Geelong was rife with illness prior to the Prelim. To think otherwise might be construed as complacency.

    Agree, the virus thing, simply pathetic.

    Based on The AGE, AFL and some Fox tipsters we are the underdogs.

    We'll show 'em!

    Dees by 3-5 goals.

    It was the same on RSN this morning. Geelong this, Geelong that...........

    We got 'em.

    The football gods should reward this hubris and complacent lack of self-reflection with years of defeats to the Demons.

    Hard to get a gauge on Geelong, but they have two big forwards in red hot form. Shut them down and we are in. Geelong is my most hated side ever, I just cannot stand them or their coach.

    Anyone know what numbered clowns in yellow flouro we've got tonight?

    Looking forward to beating all 25 of them.

    Odd football fact

    Melbourne now have more 100 game players in tonights teams (14 to 13)

    Not surprisingly, Geeolong are leading in the over 30's (10 to 4)

    Geelong average nearly 50 games per player more than Melbourne.

    It is the first of those points that give me hope for some years to come

    Probably better than most weeks. Meredith and Findlay very experienced.  Power is a rookie.

    Will be watching this one from home tonight. Not worried at all. Doesn't mean we'll win but I'm comfortable in the fact that we're every bit as good as them win or lose and will beat them when it really matters in September.

    I am more worried about the umpiring at kryptonite park than Geelong who I hate as much as the filth.

    Another lovely warm   morning in downtown Hua Hin  and I'm just about to break my fast at one of the many local eateries.

    The good news is that the mamasan of a nearby Sports Bar assured me that showing the AFL is "no problem for me", so I'll be watching the Dees win a tough one.

    I reckon it will be close  up to 3/4 time with Melbourne pulling away 20 points.

    I hate these ****wits so bad. 

    Viney to set the tone with a bone crunching tackle on Dangerfield at first bounce. 

    Huge game, huge. HUGE.

    The media are really talking up the cats in this one

    I don't get it. They've beaten no-one recently other than the Tiges. They are 1 year older. they've added Stengle who's been excellent but he ain't going to make up for the overall geriatric profile of this team

    We will strangle the life out of these cats and show the world that Geelong are not contenders

    Looking forward to it

    Can't make it either, just too tough. Godspeed to everyone going!

    Certainly talking a lot about 'the virus that wasn't an excuse'. This will end up being the new Freed From Desire.

    I think the midfield is where it will be won. If we allow them to get a 4-5 goal run on out of the middle it will be a struggle.

    Hopefully we learned frm Rd 23. Th ePrelim suggests that we did but I think the midfield is now their weakest link.

    No Stewart and no Koladashkneesupmotherbrown is a decent help as well

    • 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.
