Are we actually the fittest team, like Binman (or George?) says? 37 points to 3 from late in the 3rd. What a performance!

    Magnificent win !!!!  We toughed it out finals style!

    Fritta - he's back ! What an effort. Fairy tale stuff.  Simply outstanding.

    Melky - sadly a question mark.

    Umpiring - inconsistent.    

    That Grand Old Flag a coming .  I can feel it in my nethers.  

    Haha I wish you’d keep your hand off your nethers, BBO.

    Bloody hope it’s not as bad as it looks. He’s absolutely earned his place in this team and we need his dynamism 👌

    Best win of the season in a finals like atmosphere / cauldron.  So much CHARACTER!

    The belief, the will to win. Most teams would have stuck the cue in the rack. Not us.

    2 years on from the famous night in Geelong too, it's in the blood.

    That's one of my favorite wins for long time.

    A team with such pride in the jumper that instead of taking the easy, cruisy path, as highlighted in the fox stats noted above, they dug in and said, nup, the dees win.

    Just fantastic.

    I am so proud to be a dees fans.

    I’ve never done my ACL, but I have torn the meniscus in my knee and, for what it’s worth, it looked exactly like what Melksham did. 
     

     

    Avatars are funny. After reading that I was visualising George Bluth Sr. playing AFL and doing his meniscus.

    Judd McVees defensive capability was brilliant. I always loved Nev Jetta and I see similarities with McVee's one on one defence but his ability to drive on transition is at another level.

    Same here but I couldn't walk . Milk was walking on the boundary for a little without a clear limp.

    So hopefully he's ok but as Jaded pointed out, he hugged Goody.

    Maybe it was an all good embrace

    You can't understate how impressive that win is.

    Swans were playing for a home final and had the emotional motivation of Buddy's farewell behind them. They were all over us in that third quarter and we slowly worked our way back into the match. Full credit to our leaders in Petracca, Gawn and Viney who kickstarted the fightback. 

    Gotta mention Laurie as well. Had some important touches when he came on for Melk.

    This. 
    While I lost 10 years off my life watching player after player go down injured, they just went “watch this” and won. 
    We are so lucky to support this team!

    When your half deaf (seriously) like me, you do rely on lip reading and emotions a lot. Anyway we will see.

    Outstanding win.  Belief, determination, strength and class. Petracca, Fritsch, Viney, May, ANB just huge!! 

    Many others too, including the coach. 

    Bring on September. It's our time!

    Agreed.

     

    All week the media talk was about port winning and us resting players and not caring.

     

    We're not that kind of team and I love it. Well done to the coaching staff and the players.

    Garry Lyon reckons one of our most impressive wins of the season, not far off I reckon. 

    Wish it was just little more bruise free!

    It's a win that just makes you 'feel'. That's all I can really say.

    Finally we see what it really means to wear the jumper.

    • 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.
