    That always seemed a bizarre fixture for a Melbourne home game, glad it has been rectified.

    This should be a very good game vs North who sit atop the ladder. 

    They demolished Freo this week who were a top 4 team last year and we beat the Crows who won the premiership.

    Reckon it will be dees supporters only as North fans wouldn't get much chance to buy tickets.  Would expect Syd fans to barrack for them.

    Worth getting their early.

    I feel for supporters of North’s AFLW team. Having to buy a ticket (if even possible) and not getting to sit where they’d like. You’d expect North to have substantially less fans attending since it’s been moved to curtain raiser at the ‘G. Imagine if the same was done to us.

    I would not care.

    I feel for them also,

    I'm guessing the AFL give the North Cheer Squad the Sydney squad space then clear out and maybe give unsold tickets to North to give to fans for free/token amount.

    But they will have the Syd fans on their side.

    Great opportunity for the rest of the fanbase to see our AFLW team. They really are a fantastic reflection on the club. Plenty of ticker and give there all

    North are a tough, seasoned outfit. It'll be close but i expect to win to 2-3 goals

    We always have close games in the "open" grounds, it'll be interesting how it'll be in the protected MCG.  I went to the Optus game against Freo and we looked great in such an environment. (First team to crack 100 pts)  The Ess and Hawks showed how conditions really affect the quality of girls games, more than the guys.

    I agree. The game at Marvel this weekend was a good standard and much better than i expected given it was the first game of AFLW for both clubs. No doubt the Marval surface and closed roof were a factor.

    Won't get out of work until 5:30/6 or so, sadly not sure how much I will be able to see. 

    Hopefully they get some good support. 

    Would like to watch West firsthand, her trajectory continues to skyrocket.

    I have little interest in girls footy because the standard is so low. Now having a game as a curtain raiser is way better than loud music etc. But it could be any team.

    The standard from the mens team was very low for a long time.

    The girls are wearing the red and blue so I'll support irrespective of whether they are good or not. Same goes for the mens team

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
