It seems an absolute eternity since bang bang bang.  
Come on Dees - make a statement.  
PS buy a strong marking forward, somehow, over the trade period.  It is THE difference between garbage and success. BBB is stuffed.

    He’s having a great game but he’s missed three sitters still which might be costly. Were they not sitters? We must be watching different games 

    I'd hardly call all 3 of them sitters. 1 of the 3 perhaps. 2 at a massive stretch of the definition of a sitter.

    We just need to limp across the line. This has been really, really hard. Blues are up and about as they should be, finals at stake, Paddy wants to be there. If we do not bring it this quarter we can forget about anything in September.

    I am dead serious, another game we have led at every change. If we drop this then we clearly have a mental issue at play. We need to get over the line, the world of good that will do mentally.

    You can see it coming a mile away. We will get overrun. 


    Well just as I bag Tracc he shows some good form.

    Always the way.

    Hope he keeps it up.

     

    Forward line ... not quite happening, chemistry just not there. Playing as a group of (talented) individuals rather than a team. Odd, as they've had plenty of time together.

    Missing Tom Macdonald to help get the system working again?

    Can we try Petty up fwd?

    With Disco in  defence. 
    Ir debut JVR next week.  Anything else is worth a try. 
    This is not working. 
    Just cannot have Melksham and Frittata as our only forwards.

    I can see Spargs or ANB getting the bullet for someone, may as well be another borderline player with no awareness or game sense 

    Try up forward was the suggestion, not many other options and the current set up is going nowhere

    Start bagging some more of the blokes please! 😂

    I’d like to win, for a lot of reasons, but mostly so I can stick it up the whiners sitting around me.

    Sparrow was dead set all by himself on the 50 in the corridor. FMD this kick in play is just infuriating. If you can my hit that kick with no pressure, what the f are you playing afl for. 

    Correct.

    And our last F50 entry we turned over as usual, we had a guy on his own screaming for it 30 out and ignored.

    We must reverse this narrative CYB. No other option.

    Where was Langdon most of that quarter?

    Not really the same since his injury I feel.

    Just a limping shadow of last year. Carlton without Kennedy, Cerra and Hewett should mean this game goes one way. And yet they’re making us look slow, uncertain, fumbly and secondary at contests. Their plan for this quarter will be pressure, turnover, forward at speed. Ours will be the predictable usual, allowing them to set up that manic contest again. Like last week, we won’t get  it done that way.

    Sensing (hoping) a big last quarter from Fritsch 🤞

    Well 3 touches for the night would indicate he is fresh

     

    I think we should bomb it into our forward 50 this quarter. See how we go

    • 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.
