Sparrow has gone backwards.

We are NOT premier favourites.

Perhaps the players think they are.

    And we are supposed to be premiership favourites. Puh-lease

    Look it's a bad performance but people need to get a grip.

    Collingwood lost to West Coast's seconds last year.

    Geelong were 3-2 after 5 rounds and 4-3 after 7 last year.

    Richmond similar in 2019.

    Look if this was another team I wouldn't be as mad. But it's Essendon. It's horrible they'll be 4-1 sitting above us on the ladder

    Call the first half what you will, that quarter was next level bad. To think we were still in it at half time and could have corrected some mistakes to still win is mind boggling. 

    In half an hour we have fallen so far back it's not funny while the Bombers have developed a nice blue print to beat us. Don't give me the rubbish about players out or if we gave more effort, this one will sting and need some serious work to move past.

    This quarter alone has been such a let down, I expected a fierce response and it didn't happen.

    And that’s the most disappointing part. 
    Only 17 points down at 1/2 time and that was their response. 
    Arrogant, pathetic and embarrassing.

    God we need Max back asap

    Max wouldn't make much of a difference with this type of disorganised trash. 

    Up the wings, bomb it long. Not hungry enough.

    This should’ve been a percentage building win against a loser club. Instead we’ve [censored] the bed and no one is putting their hand up to try and stem the tide. This has been a game lost by poor leadership and laziness. Our worst loss since 2019-2020. 

    That's probably the mentality they went in with

    Sparrow has been poor along with many others. Only Viney and Trac contributing in the midfies

    ld.

    I don't understand the hype around Sparrow, not really a good contributor most days.

    We lack hunger and desire. 2021 we were manic. We are a shadow of that group

    It's a concern. 

    Bombers are playing a faultless game really.  Collectively we are terrible.  None of the names have fired a shot. Good quarter by Petty.

    This is true but it's amazing how quickly that manifested.

    Brad Scott has given goody an absolute bath, has showed everyone else very simply how to beat us.

    No Gawn and no Lever and we have 0 leadership.

    Embarrassing from Viney, May, Trac, Tmac and Oliver. Doing nothing.

    It’s a very lifeless performance across the board. I’m actually shocked at a side that is this mature has looked so disengaged.

    Things could have been worse. This could have been at the G. Take the loss and move on.

    Clearly we are a bit off, given the WA travel and shorter break than Essendon, gives them an edge. Throw in the injuries to Lever has thrown us off balance.

    • 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.
