    An enjoyable half. Games so far have been entertaining, nice lead up to Cats smashing Port hopefully.

    Memo to the fox peanuts -

    29 points at half time in perfect conditions IS an example of a team with connection and efficiency issues.

    Also memo to every AFL commentator: the Pies have deficiencies like everyone else. They are not, as we’ve been led to believe, holding the cup with one hand.

    Dear Garry Lyon. As a Dees man, I love what you have done for our club, and you were a gun when you played for us. Just a note though - there are 2 teams playing in the Hawks v Pies game and THE PIES ARE ACTUALLY BEHIND. The Hawks are playing better, and thwarting the "rampaging" Collingwood. Any chance you could mention some of the tactical nouse that the Hawks are using to thwart the Pies? Or even their great in-close pressure? Or their team defence. As much as I hate the Hawks, their play deserves respect.

    Garry Lyon is smart. Continue talking them up. Get them to listen to the noise and get complacent. All part of the plan I reckon 😂

    It's been nearly 2 seasons of playing at a high intensity it's  hard to keep up . I wont write them off but their game style must take a toll

    The other thing is because they are the benchmark, even teams out of finsls contention wantto use them to do an audit of where their game is at.

    And of course want to beat them. 

    So they get no easy games.

    It was def a factor for us last year.

    The other  issue they face is a team like the hawks who ate not playing finals dont have dont have to worry about keeping their tactical cards to their chest. Dacois 3 kicks (including a free and a kick out) is evidence of what I mean.

    The contenders get the benefit of seeing what works against them without having to show their hand.

    I'm advised one of the three was a kick-in following a Hawthorn behind.  So really 2 in a half ...

    Coz according to the pie fan boys, you only need to play a season and a half of elite home and away games to be considered a great team or the best player.

    By the by, on bont, he must be a shot at winning the Brownlow.

    Daicos has had a brilliant year, but others will take votes off him.

    And the bont has been the best player by a mile in at least 6-7 games I've seen - and he kicks goals.

    He is also impossible to miss when he gets it - and can't be confused for his brother!

    Yes, let’s encourage the over-rating media Collingwood “noise” to continue & keep our Dee’s quietly under the radar … we don’t want pre October adulation as it just creates a source of bath water 💧 … leave that for the pies [censored] to drink 👍

    Why are free kicks given after a goal happens taken from the goal square? It feels like they should be from the centre square, as that's where the ball would be at the start of the play.

    Lyons 'what we all love about the way the pies play' (ie fast transition linking by hands) is one of their vulnerabilities. It looks great. But creates too many turnover opportunities in tbe heat of super high pressure games.

    And when tbey do turn it over they get exposed on the counter too often because their defence pushes up so high and with no sweeper.

    That's a really good point. Maybe it's because it's where the apparent infraction took place.

    the Bont is clearly the best most complete player in the league. 

    Apologies to Clarry and Trac. Diacos is a gun but not top 3 yet

    • 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.
