A highly entertaining game.

 

I was worried at times!

Glad the Demons got the job done.

A great win!

 

GO YOU MIGHTY DEMONS!!! 🔴🔵👹

    We can kick scores with a more mobile forward line. I am very pleased that Goody pulled the trigger on Petty forward and Tomlinson staying back. Again Smith came in and was effective and played his role.

    Our side is showing some great resilience at the moment and that never say die attitude. I think we're in a much better headspace at the moment than a month ago and we are evolving as a side as well. I used to think we wouldn't stand up in a shoot out but they are bucking the trend there!

    Yes Bitters.... that game went a long way to helping solve the forward conundrum

    I will enjoy the replay

    Holy [censored] that was one exciting game to watch!

    We just griiiiiiinnnnd them away!

    Petty and JVR were [censored] unreal.

    Maxy on that performance alone should be a 7 time All Australian. That was [censored] nuts

    Give Melksham another contract. He's best 22 for the rest of the year.

    Go you [censored] dees!

    A really solid performance. What a win!

    An intense high pressure cracking game !!!

    The toiges did us for pressure and intensity early and had our measure.

    But .... along came Max ... big bad Max the mountain!!!

    You will NEVER see a better performance in the ruck - EVER !!!!

    A number of other top performances but I must single out Petty. He played more like  a forward than any other forward ( bar Fitta ) than we have played this year.

    A very tough game - fortunate to have Norf next week.

    There is a feeling in the Bitter nethers that says, " this is our year" !

    GO DEES !!!!!

    Good post Uncle. Credit to Richmond who swang all day. Props to Petty. Maybe the fwd line is fixed. But Max was on another level after half time. 

    Vintage Gawn. Can't be stopped.

    That win is  a  strong message to the other clubs.

    In the pre game thread I hoped Petty would kick 2 goals and take 4 contested marks.

    Will have to watch the replay to assess whether he met expectations.

    Wish they would start these games a little earlier so we can see the song after. Live Ladder now has us finishing 2nd but what would live ladder know.

    We are timing our run to the flag perfectly. Can't expect perfection, but the momentum is real

    EPIC upon EPIC!!  We are on the march to September, and in it up to our necks!! We have sorted our forward structure ….  as Goody said we would!  Who says Max is no longer the AA ruckman?  Pffft!  Go Dees!!  We all love you!

    That’s footy!

    Hate to be that guy but (like I suggested) they left the press at home and just let the boys play and it was fun!

    And actually, you know, HELPFUL FOR EMBEDDING A BATTLIN’ FORWARD LINE WITH CONFIDENCE AND PURPOSE.

    Keep doing that the rest of the year and we will finish wherever in the top 4 with a forward line that knows itself.

    That dropped mark he will be lucky to hold his place next week.

    How good was Petty! I was sceptical of playing him forward but I've changed my mind. Everything he touched turned to gold.

    All in all, I'm thrilled with that win. That was a very high pressure game and we held up brilliantly. Still got another four games left but I'm much more confident heading into the finals than I was this time last year. 

    Just imagine, Clarrie and Fritta are to come into that team to strengthen it...truly!

    Always trust Goody and the SC

    they reward the right players

    in Petty they see a gun key fwd when many of us doubted it. 

    what a win!!

    A lot of it is stuff you don't even notice until you watch a replay.

    • 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.
