Interesting watching May. He's brilliant, but needs time to recover. 

If we can get it clear and there's repeat efforts he's going to struggle.

Can we sneak him out there with a green whistle down his jocks?

 
 

We have not got out of second gear in that quarter with not a lot of work or cover out of our midfield. Defence is standing tall with May just amazing with the game he has played so far. I hope he holds up.

gave away that late goal which is a bummer but generally not too bad given our lack of pressure and lack of drive from the middle.

I expect us to step up in this quarter and get the game on our terms.

No panic. play our game.

    Last week's game was almost finals like.

    I fear we are flat

    Just what the Afl wanted.

    Five day break after that game is a joke .

    Midfield getting smashed again just like against Port. Surely we’re due to turn this around?

    They were always going to come out firing

    7 shots to 2 and we are 5 points down 

    i’ll take that!

    Though Adelaide inside 50 is dreadful. Low quality entries.

    Need to reset on how we go inside 50.

    Get the smalls to the fall of the ball and get it in quicker, flood or no flood, defences wilt if you get it in quick.

    Also need to stand up in the midfield, as we’re getting monstered with the inside 50 count.

    Midfield need to lift bigtime


    This game is for Adelaides season survival essentially. They aren’t good on the road so can’t really afford to drop many home games. They’re coming hard but we got this.

    They are clogging us up

    Did well to stay close

    Suspect their is s 3-4 goal breeze to the cheer squad end

    Go Dees!


    Settle people, if we had got reward for our tackling we'd be 3 goals up

    Started well but intensity dropped off mid way. Terrible kick from Rivers at that stage of the quarter. 

    McVee has been great despite one  Rankine goal. 

    May some great marks. 

    Can we play BBB out of the square? Looks unnatural him chasing down defenders.

    Rivers back into the corridor with less than 20 secs to go - big brain fart.

    Grow a brain mate!

    Really poor from rivers

    • 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.
