    Also well done on Angus on his 150th

    … and on his and Danielle’s engagement early this week!!!

    Might not be noticeable from the stands, but on tonight’s banner, along with the huge Gussy graphic, we’ve included a little nod to their engagement…

    Huge rock, right there. Easily Gussy’s salary for a year. 😂

    Edit: not sure what happened to my pic, it seems to have disappeared. I’ll try again. Anyways, we’ve included an engagement ring on tonight’s banner.

    I'm surprised there's not more mention of the 5 day break. It's a huge factor. Clarkson can easily get them playing a really defensive style that keeps them in it until 3 qt. I'm thinking an ugly, tense 25 pt win.

    but it is time this club became ruthless

    It has been MIA basically since we held the cup aloft. We need to bring that aggression and attitude back for us to really click into gear.

    5-day breaks are gonna happen. I’m just happy it’s not the likes of Collingwood we’re up against tonight.

    If it’s any consolation the two teams (Dogs and Crows) that have a played on a 5-day break so far have both won. It is what it is unfortunately, will happen to every team.

    Scrap that, Saints lost last night after 5 days. Carry on.

    Thinking a 4-8 goal win but we must control the game

    Gotta crack the 120 point mark.

    Should be a 7-8 goal win and needs to be. Percentage is important to cash in on these lowly clubs. We have a run where we can really do it some favours. I watched North last week and they were pathetic, they'll either come out firing or continue their poor form.

    I'll settle for a 15 goal win tonight. 

    JVR to kick his first bag and take another contender.

    first half will be a slog and not good to watch as they flood back and put some pressure on. 

    then we’ll smash them in the 2nd half

    55pt win

    That's interesting. I checked those results and they were both playing sides that had a six day break like we are tonight. I always thought that once you get have a 5 day break if the other team has a longer break you are in big trouble. But those results show otherwise - thank you. I'll revise my prediction up to a 45 point win 😂

    Key to these games are to break them early 1st quarter always important.

    Against the lesser likes its crucial in breaking their collective spirit.

    Conversely the trick to beating us is the same..  apply buckets of pressure and throw everything and the sink at us.

    Tbh.. it works... ( more often than not...these days )

    Agree. Hit them hard early and dampen any spirit they might have had. We’ve started poor recently, so hopefully it has been a focal point at training. Then come out after 1/4 time and smash them again.

    Frees last night 28-14 in favour of Saints.

    Obviously the winner was second to the ball all night.

    The early bird catches the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

    I remember the match v Norf last year. I watched it at the Coogee Bay Hotel with my Sydney residing daughter, her then boyfriend and his father.

    We were down at half time ... Norf were really aggressive, and poor Lingers copped injured ribs courtesy of that charming man Taryn Thomas. (I spoke to him at Family Day ... he told me it was actually 4 broken ribs .) He was never the same after that. 

    Hopefully those horrible Norf players won't be so mean this time.

    Yeah, they went after us physically in that game for sure. I’m hoping it’s not the same this year. We limped home after that.

    • 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.
