I’m easily satisfied today.  The following will do me nicely:

-  some solid ‘in-game’ breaks for Max, Tracc, Vines and Maysie;

-  some game-day run into Fritta;

-  Clarrie to clean out any remaining cobwebs;

-  a good look at Disco in the Ones;

-  nice little win;

-  no injuries.

Thanks

    Port are really going to want to steady their ship today. Only two wins out of the last six matches (and neither of those wins against top eight sides). They are not going to want to enter finals at 2-5.

    Go for the win and let the cards where they may. Winning form and mentality the priority over QF opponent and venue imv

    The Lions were ordinary last night against a dogged opponent. We're a cut above the Saints so the Gabba should hold no fears for us. And the Lions record in finals there isn't great either. highly likely this is all moot anyways cos Port won't lose to the tiges. 

    I'm looking at Fritschy's form and what disco can bring. And no injuries please.

    A confidence boosting 25 point win coming up

    Go Dees

    Couldn’t care less if we win or lose (of course I don’t want to get smashed), as long as we don’t get injuries. 
    A healthy list is the most important factor in winning a flag in September.

    Yes. A possibility.

    But we then have the chance to do the same.

    Hope we play well and are "in form" against the Swans.

    Winning is preferred. As it helps build momentum for us.

    Don't care where we play in the finals. You gotta beat the best to be the best. Although, obviously at the MCG against the Magpies is preferred.

    No injuries is important. As we need to be fit and healthy for finals football.

    Lastly, I hope Christian Petracca plays extremely well and gets the 3 votes in our match today. That helps him to be a sneaky chance to win the 2023 Brownlow Medal! Fingers crossed!🤞

    Brisbane are 2-4 in finals at the Gabba since 2019.  I don’t think Port should be any more worried about travelling there than to the G.

    If we know we are playing Thursday, I’d give the AFL the big FU they deserve and make as many late changes as possible. 
    For one I would pull May out. If he gets injured or concussed we are in big trouble.

    I like your strategy. Couldn't agree more.

    If Port lose to a depleted Tigee side (tank) Dees will show the world  how you really go the tank !

    If Port win ,great, we go hard at the Swanees and spoil the show.

    So play hard, go for the win but don’t kill yourselves. 

    The latter part of the season has been one of constant surprises. The Tigers appear to have checked out but I wouldn’t be ruling out yet another surprise in this case.

    Well I'm where all Melbourne supporters presumably go to. I'm at the snow. Got out of the car & the first voice I hear is someone saying go pies tonight. Great can't even escape them here.

    Today I want a nice win, players to dominate obviously no injuries especially concussions & if Goody's sensible he'll take key players off in the last quarter to not risk them

    Its a good point tbh.

    They would prefer going to the G because thats where their imaginary Premiership will be won.

    I know. I have just noticed a chancre developing about concussion protocols and us playing on  the thursday night.

    Some major carry on here today..

    We'll take the game on as serious as we have under Goody's tenure. 

    I hope we win and it's an absolute grinding one too. Nothing better then a good solid test right on the eve of finals to see what we're really made of. If it's one team you want to do it against its certainly Sydney with their contested game plan style.

    Football is also a contact sport.. injuries happen.. who would have thought hey?

    I don’t think this team cares where we play first week of finals. A banged up demons beat the lions at the Gabba this time last year by 10 goals.

    • 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.
