    Great result with Port (& Collingwood) going down. We just need Fremantle to win tomorrow. Could we finish top? We need percentage tomorrow and then the gap to Collingwood will be purely 2 games.

    Sorry, I got a bit ahead of myself. We'd need to win by more than 10 goals tomorrow to top Collingwood's current percentage.

    The Pies can have top spot if it means barracking for Geelong again. That was awful.

    I'd rather they finish top. They would need to lose at least 2 out of their 3 remaining games and they play both Brisbane and Geelong.

    Top 2 guarantees home finals throughout the whole series and is not different to pole position apart from bragging rights.

    Edit: as you pointed out on another thread, travel is still possible if the interstate teams win both qualifying finals.

    If that was the happen it would be two weeks in a row that 1 2 and 3 were beaten.

    Carlton and Dawks with their tails up and then Swans.
    The run in doesn't look so cruisy now.
    We'll be battle hardened.

    Don't sleep on Sydney for finals. They are under the radar getting closer and closer as each week goes by to their 2022 form. They'll beat GC next week and I wouldn't write them off beating Adelaide in Adelaide the week after. If they win both they'll be 12.5 and that should do it for finals. If they lose to Adelaide, they'll then need to beat us in the final round to make it - huge game.

    There is no doubt that Daicos playing poorly severely reduces the overall quality of the Pies midfield. But Daicos is not an inside mid nor a contested winning bull.
     

    This is the main weakness of Collingwood. It’s why they went and got Mitchell. But he’s bog ordinary at using the footy and he’s slow as a wet rag. They keep subbing him off to try and get some more run in last quarters. 


    De Goey is the only inside mid they have who can really hurt you on the outside. But he’s inconsistent and mentally soft. 
    Their midfield is one dimensional. If you stop them winning the footy then by extension you limit Daicos as he needs the ball fed out to him. 
    Butters on the other hand can win his own ball and destroy you with it. He is far more damaging and hard to stop than Daicos IMO. 
    The key to beating Pies is to shut down De Goey and Adams. De Goey only had 17 today and Adams 13. Combined they had 7 clearances. Nash had 6 by himself. 

    Agree on shutdowns

    You also have to have someone halve contests with Sidebottom

    Better that way, we wouldn't want easy kills before the pointy end of the season.

    Should make up the 1% on Lions today if Freo's defence performs reasonably well and prevents a lions blow away score.

    Kicking 18 behinds we didn’t, it will be an absolute fairytale if they drop into a hole and lose games and go out in straight sets

    So had we kicked straight then it would have been and easy 30 plus point win?

    We smashed them around the contest and stopped their corridor run. We were able to put enormous amount of defensive pressure which saw them crumble under heat.

    So what you want, but the credit should be going to Melbourne for showing the rest of the competition in how to stop the pies, not the blues.

    Happy for cats to win. Well as happy as one can be .

    But 31 free kicks. Come on.

    The commentary on the AFL website has the reason for Collingwood's demise yesterday being they didn't treat Hawthorn with respect. Nothing of sides being able to implement the same blueprint to beat them.

    No wonder McRae was twitchy in his post presser. 😉

    Missed all games yesterday might as well have been on Mars. Catching up on minis now, what a performance by the Hawks! Showed composure where other teams have melted like butter this year. 

    Got laughed at for tipping West Coast understandably and got pretty close. Underestimate my tipping ability at your peril! 🤣

    • 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.
