BBB is contesting and getting to where he needs to.

But the strength of his contests has been poor. No explosion and one arm contests do not make for good forward craft.

Melky is looking great. Remember a few years ago that he got the highest SuperCoach score recorded against Carlton? Good times.

    Forget Grundy.

    Do whatever it takes to buy a genuine key forward.

    Our forward line is a mess.

    I love BB but ffs the one hand up stuff in a marking contest is not good enough

    Plugger Dunstall and Gordon Coventry would struggle the way we're bombing it in

    100% bank the cash and make a huge play for one of these Blues boys

    Every time Saad gets the ball, we need to absolutely smash him, even if it means a free or two. he's so soft and it really seems to rattle him

    Did anyone see what the free

     down the ground that resulted in frittata goal was for. Did not see it here at the ground. And it’s bloody cold freezings 


    What happened to 2021 Melbourne?

    We would have to be the worst in the league at getting back of the man on the mark and being the slowest to move the ball from a mark. Not many players would get a pass mark at this stage but where in front and hopefully find something in the second half.

    The 1 key forward set up simply doesn't work. Why we have continued to run with this set up is mind boggling.

    The move the ball as slow as possible kick to him out numbered 3 to 1 tactic isn't helping

    Commentators gloating over a "great tight contest". I reckon it has been horrible to watch. Tacklefest, followed by Dees bombing it into the forward line with BBB attempting to mark with 1 hand, followed by more tackling, Blues kick a horrible blind ball to half forward, Dees intercept... rinse and repeat.

    Well done Melksham. Pittonet is a dill. We are a better team but need to CAPITALISE.

    Why was that “a gift” for fritta, he marked it anyway… 

    much happier about this game than the Collingwood and dogs games, blues without their stars are clearly playing as many tagging/negating roles as possible. 

    They won’t be able to keep it up the whole game. I think we will break away and win by 40+ keeping the blues to under 50 points

    • 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.
