Chandler has exceptional skills all round. His foot passing sublime.

    He is soooo cuddly. I just saw the president give him a big smooch at the end of the team song.

    Disgusting 😁

    I agree, as a general rule club presidents shouldn’t kiss their coaches for many reasons

    I know that was little more than a good training run but one very positive point that did emerge is that in keeping Chandler and letting Bedford move on the Melbourne brains trust got it absolutely right. His accurate goal-kicking, constant pressure and excellent ball use stood out all night. And it was great to see Steven May showing his annoyance when North kicked some late goals. That's the kind of ruthless attitude that wins premierships.

    Concerned that despite the big win our 2 tall fwds only get 2 goals between them and didn’t do a whole lot else. We really need Brown or Tmac in form and back as they would add so much more 

    I hear you. The Shack had a BArry Crocker for much of the game. And van Roo, well he was well held but we could use him a bit more.

    I did say before the game i would take a 10 goal win, just really annoyed we gave up 3 junk goals to lose our 109 point lead.

    Credit to Tom Sparrow who has copped some heat on here so far this season. I reckon he played a career best game tonight.

    23 touches as 87% with 4 tackles and a goal.

    And will get the same result with BBB.

    I’m sorry but BB has a hell of a lot more runs on the board and was in good form in the first three rounds. 
    Schache is too timid to play key position at this level. He got out marked by Zeibel multiple times despite the massive height difference.

    Off a 5 day break I think we did very well to even show up in the last. 
    Hibbo was also off in the last.

    Just what the Dr ordered, pity Schache and JVR had quiet games.

    And yet we managed 22 goals.

    Easily the most disappointing aspect of the night was the crowd, which I correctly predicted at quarter time (I'm brilliant) would be 29k.

    We need to be getting 30k ourselves, let alone the third lowest drawing crowd in North also bringing say 5k.

    Almost perfect Saturday night, at the G, 35k-40k should be the benchmark.

    Some guy on talkback SEN complaining about the last 5 minutes - we did have a 5 day break FFS.  Tracc at interview said that they were all absolutely buggered.

    So what do I know, I said 5 goals we don't win by big margins. Nice to watch though.

    Excellent win

    Definite percentage booster 

    but … only the Dees would allow 3 soft goals in the last 3 minutes to reduce margin from 108 to 90 points!!! 

    5 day break guys.  Cool it.

    Seriously, the pillock behind me was screaming when we were kicking it backwards. We got plenty of time to beat up on garbage sides later this season and maybe get a 100 point win then and if not I'll take a few 90s.

    Job done, no injuries (that I know of). Jets cooled.

    Our forward line mix is tallied about but spread of goalkicker and looking at our mix.

    How we go inside 50 is important and happy with how that looks. 


    Defensive side of the game we thought we needed to tidy up. 


    How we defend has been a ficus. How we create turnovers. 
    Though we’d like the last few minutes back. 


    Petty likely straight back in. He’s a key player. At either end.

    Schache isn’t the answer. Petty back in or BB depending on form at Casey (with Petty to go back) 

    Yep. Did some nice things but didn't grab the opportunity.

    That start was scintillating. 

    When Kozzie is up and going we become such a dangerous team. Banging goals from outside 50 is such a confidence booster.

    Clarry dominated in that first quarter. Led the way.

    Tracc: 30 and three.

    Fritta is all class.

    Maysie back in form.

    Chandler played the perfect small forwards game.

    Sparrow was very good.

    Angus best game for the year.

    Less impressed with Shack Attack and van Roo.

    Also I wonder about the effectiveness of Hunter's dribble handballs! Had a good game though.

    • 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.

      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.
