We kept them to 2 behinds in that final term. We had chances. Friita, sparrow and Pickett all kicking it out on the full. 

Max botching his pass and his shot for goal earlier, Langdon selfishly taking the advantage when he didn't have to in the 3rd quarter. Pickett missing some easy ones.

Trac went missing. Oliver's kicks went nowhere & van Rooyen realised finals is a whole new level

    Yep, there was a potential goal for Kozzy in the 2nd. Fritsch didn't Shepard the defender, touched.

    A goal to.put us back to 10 pts and with momentum change in the 2nd.

    There was one in the first as well.

    He smothered and then put a shoulder into Gus' head.

    Can't wait for the AFL to rule it as him 'protecting himself'.

     

    He might get a week for the head butt on viney not a good look

    I would do it again. Maynard is a serial thug. He lines up players. Same with Cox. Bog ordinary footballers who deserve some of their own medicine back. 

     

    OK, not going to argue but just think wishing potential career ending injuries is a bit too much.

    Hope Gus is OK and able to play in the preliminary

    With so many inside 50’s, Spargo could have been a difference with his smart forward play. He should replace Chandler next week.

    Our bomb it in strategy just has to stop. I believe in this group of coaches but can someone please coach our forwards to lead and our mids to lower the eyes.

    If we’re still doing this rubbish next year serious questions will have to asked. It’s just unacceptable for a finals team to have such a basic forward 50 plan. I know we have players out but it’s been the same strategy when everyone is fit. I’m sick of it. Same old story. Sort it out ffs.

    Gus copping a concussion could also be career ending! 
    Maynard lined up a guy going into open space running full tilt. In a [censored] helmet because he’s had a long history of head injuries. It was a pathetic thug move.

    If Pies can mark those bombs why couldn't we ?

    We certainly  had like 30 more than they did.

    I’ll just leave this here:

    Goodwin: “In finals, your vulnerabilities are exposed”

    Our vulnerability is our ability to score. It’s been our vulnerability for 2 years, and we thought we could fix it with an old forward who hasn’t played AFL footy in months

    To be fair we ran out of options. Petty and Melksham going down left us with nothing else. 
    We need to move heaven and earth to get another forward.

    So why do you want Cox to do his ACL?

    • 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.

      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.
