J.Smith, no follow up to his good 2nd quarter. Fell out the game as his opponent tightened up on him.

Harmes doing well.

    Agree, Melksham is outstanding at this level which is where he should stay.

    Far far too good for VFL but not quite constant enough for AFL. But when Melksham is on he is on.

    McDonald has got better as the game has gone on as well.

    Melksham doesn’t impact enough at AFL. He’s a good sub but he isn’t a 4 quarter player.

    Could have fooled Carlton last year.

    I saw a clip of Melksham’s goal where he kicked it up to himself. McDonald looked like he could barely walk, let alone run. 

    Has he improved since then or is he injured?

    Melksham 5 sausage rolls has been superb. 

    Geez for all the bagging of TMac ive see nhim take about 5 marks second half, kick a 2nd goal and helped set up others. Some here just love to bag our own. 

    Turner has been excellent down back. 

    Brown looks proppy and not quite right to me.

    as the sub he replaces Harmes

    If Petty doesn't return he takes Schache's spot in the 22

    We’d be far too short if we replace Schache with Melksham. Leaves JVR as our only tall forward.

    Melksham’s VFL form is good but his recent AFL form has been poor. Sub only IMO.

    I agree. He was crucial in the last 2 minutes of that game. The problem is he's not consistent and does not exhibit the selflessness we're trying to communicate to the rest of the team.

    I'm not bagging him in general. He's a strong mark, presents well and works hard up the ground. But he's slow, tries to unsuccessfully break tackles all the time, and makes skill errors that an AFL player shouldn't make. He should look at a player like Mitch White who is very limited but only tries to do what he's capable of.

    I agree with you about Turner. He to me was the obvious standout from an AFL perspective. Despite very poor Casey midfield pressure on Box Hill's running players he stood up superbly.

    Melksham main issue is that he doesn't apply enough pressure to disrupt opposition transition out of our FWD 50

    Yep - I remember a game vs Richmond back in 2019 (ugggh) where they beat us comfortably, but Melky kicked 4 - brought the Harlem Globetrotters that day - very strong. Wish he could be more consistent - from game to game, and within games. Let’s be honest, he’s got game!

    • 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.
