    It certainly was! It's really embracing everybody in the club and family. Loved it.

    This is what a love about 2023.

    The club has bought in new blood and experimented with the list. McVee, Chandler (as a regular), Woey Jnr and JVR. We have traded in proven talent to strengthen the list, Hunter and Grundy. 

    After today the obvious!! Petty as a forward. I never agreed with the nay sayers saying he ain’t a forward. He is out best option. If not kicking goals, he is agile, good aerially, competes defensively and on the ground. Today the opposition will take notice. He will now get in the head of opposition coaches and players as a forward. Throw in JVR, who is also multi dimensional, we are less predictable in our weakness. KPF’s. My Caveat to this is BBB and TMac were instrumental in a Premiership and should be celebrated in our history. Injury and age have caught up with their great careers. 
     

    Our midfield has more options. JJ, Sparrow, Brayshaw (playing more in recent times), Pickett, Rivers are there to provide a contest and contribute to our intercept game, and we still have Viney, Trac and Oliver…… 
     

    Big tick to our coaching staff for all of the above and recognising our contest style of game was outdated, focusing on an intercept game (the new trend), whilst never giving up on our strength. Our defence. 
     

    I’m enjoying this year so much more than last year. Let’s hope it’s as good as 2021.

    The rest of the top 4 lost. We won. It’s almost August. We are getting good at the right time. 2 matches against bottom 3 sides left in the year. We’re finishing 2nd. The Carlton game is gonna be awesome.

    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 !!!!!

    Agree with everything Uncle, however his 5 goals against Geelong in the 2021 prelim was also up there.

    It can't be understated how impressive Jake Melksham has been in the absence of Bayley Fritsch.

    He's gone from a surefire delist at seasons end to warranting another contract for 2024.

    Is Fritta the last to kick six for us two years ago?

    Certainly has happened this year.

    I was wrong.

    Richmond really brought the heat and got out to 20pts three times. But we withstood and Max drove us home. That was a truly great win in an epic contest.

    Petty and the Tiger breakers.

    I’m glad the match committee and selectors thought Petty can play as a forward. Where’s Picket Fence?

    So much for my stupid nightmares. That was a very impressive win against a fairly decent side. If Max is not the best ruckman I have seen then you can tinkle me pinkles.

    What a weird game!

    Hated the ball pinging around early and likes of Dusty getting on the end of three.

    Second half was excellent and the last quarter thanks to Max and others the ball just stayed in our half.

    Less mistakes by our backline this week.

    Petty's contested marks brilliant.

    Viney is such a warrior.

    JVR great kicking at goal.

    Some of McVee's running out of the backline was spectacular.

    Salem came good in the second half.

    Woey and Harmes were a huge worry.

    • 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.
