    Job done, move on. 
    Still feel like we aren’t clicking and seem to lack some polish, plenty to work on. 
    Port next week will be a great test

    I hope Petty and Petracca are playing.

    Can't believe I'm going to have to watch Sparrow have 12 touches a week @ 28% efficiency for the next 8 years

    10 of those in the first half and then he just stopped.

    I can still remember 2014 when we lost to them by 50 points but it felt like we’d had a dip. More than happy to have the roles reversed. 
    Loved Trent Rivers’ game today. Vins is having an excellent season. 
    Not sure what Sparrow brings. 
    Go away Jason Dunstall. Sick of having him cheer against us.

    Really feel like petty not playing the second half had a bigger impact than I thought it would, doesn't help that the hawks actually decided to stop playing like a U-16 team for 10 mins

    Rivers was best on ground in terms of exceeding expectations but the Big 3 midfielders were just immense.

    Hibberd slaughtered Breust and May, Lewis. The backline was very good. Clearances remain an issue - can’t understand why given the personnel. Real shame that Petty was subbed out - was looking to be a turning point game for him as a forward. Love what Spargo brings.

    A solid win, but after a couple of soft kills we really need a challenge, bring on Port

    Bigger challenges to come. We bank the 4 points and move on.

    Last week was not a soft kill. We got lucky to win.

    A solid win for May's 200th over the horrible Hawks.  Gotta be happy with the result.

    Looks like BBB in for Petty next week

    Tracc 50/50

    That Sicily.... what a [censored] and i don't mean for the Tracc tackle either.  Some of his work off the ball when he feels he's out of the contest is school yard rubbish.

    If you offered me a ten goal win before the game I would have taken it.

    What happened to Trac?

    Rolled ankle.  Seemed unperturbed when interviewed post match.

    It felt like that was the game where Petty kicks a 3-5 goal haul and really gets his confidence up, started clunking them which was nice

    I'm watching back the Kayo coverage and Trac was interviewed and reckons he's fine but just caught in a tackle.

    Hopefully the physios can buff that out

    • 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.
