Demons up by 2 points after a Tmac behind from the far half forward line.

Happy with what I've seen so far. It's a hot day in the sun but the boys are working hard, look fit and hungry.

    Field kicking has been impressive. Goal kicking not so much.

    Kozzy on the siren!!! TMac provides the contest and Pickett picks up the crumbs!

    Few too many 40 out chances when you’d want them inside 30 but we’re getting decent enough shots.

    our game plan just isn’t tear it up free running footy. It’s controlled kicking and burst from congestion runner 

    But a rivers kick to Chandler that set up a scoring shot was indicative of a willingness to attack more.

    It’s really windy here. 

    Is the wind favoring one end more?

    Early thoughts

    - Hunter looks a player. Had about 8 touches (all constructive) and a goal.

    - Oliver and Petracca: Business at usual.

    - TMac imposing early.

    - Gawn started in the ruck before Grundy came on about 10 minutes in. Gawn then took the final 5 or so minutes.

    - McVee had a couple of nice moments.

    Early returns on Pickett mid and Rivers having a rotation are both promising without being spectacular.

    ANB also took a wing rotation that I assumed might be Spargo or Harmes

    Langdon haircut?

    Yep. Harder to make out on the far wing now. Got the buzz cut a few months ago. Doesn't look like he is planning on growing it back.

    Any indication that Gawn or Grundy will contribute when not rucking, or should we get used to seeing one of them on the bench all day?

    One of our better first sixths. 

    8ths


    Grundy, Pickett, Viney and Sparrow at centre bounce. ANB takes Hunters place on members wing.

    Goal to petracca. So quick.

    Edit: might be Hunter on the far wing. Hard to tell him and Langdon apart from distance with Lingers haircut.

    This chick commentating is way better than underwood 

    Jess Webster, yep.

    Seems to have just the right tone for the occasion. Pleased to be there, keeping the conversation going during slow patches without sending it off the rails, lifting the energy a bit for good passages of play but not going over the top.

    I guess the short summary is she seems like someone it'd be good to watch the football with.

    Would need to take a LOT of unidentified white powder before becoming unhinged enough to commentate a friday night game, though.

    Melbourne kick an early one in the second as Gawn crashes the pack, allowing Trac to walk into goal

    • 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.
