Really thought Oliver was unfairly pinged a lot Tonight.

Very inconsistent umpire on htb. Hot then cold then hot

    These wins galvanise teams. 

    We stepped up and despite seemingly trying to kick ourselves out of it, did what we had to do, when we needed to do it. Highlights for me, Caleb clutch tackle and goal, and the FRIBBLER! 

    A great outcome to nab this one. I still think the Blues are more dangerous. Win that, and we are on our way. If we play with the same pressure and kick better we will cover them. 

    Proud of the grit shown by the boys.

    Go Dees 🔥

     

    But we still need to improve the kicking, it was the reason we lost against Collingwood and Carlton in the finals.

    But overall a great performance.

    Wow. Gut wrenching last quarter.

    Thank you  Jeremy.

    Max - you led us to victory.

    Lever - the rock.

    Petty - welcome back

    Langdon - you can have a rest now.

    Fritsch - how the hell you were never drafted at 18yo, I will never know. You are simply brilliant.

    Suck on that Cats. I love beating that team.

    Goal of the season to Fritsch. Magic effort to win it.

    Defensively brilliant all night. Lever superb.

    Great to see Petty clunking them and back in form.

    Goal kicking not good. Far out we nearly kicked it away.

    We’re up to our necks in it this year. Make no mistake.

    Go Dees

    A few more highlights, obviously Lever a one man fortress. Probably BOG. And so good to have Petty’s mitts back on. Once he gets the feet working again, he will be a big asset. His marks were so important. 

    watching the vision right now you can see how happy the boys are for Petts. Great to see.

    How old was he when we recruited him? 21?

    I apologise for the doom and gloom in the match thread, I just can't help it. Everything about this game pointed to another heartbreaking, self inflicted loss.

    Thank god it wasn't.

    Petty the MVP.

    We’re in the hunt for the premiership. Make no bones about it. We’re a top 4 team. 
     

    I thought Geelong would beat us tonight and I am bloody wrapped how wrong I was. 
     

    we are fixing our forward issues and there was clear evidence in that game. 
     

    Petty getting the cobwebs off.

     

    [censored] bring on the blues and let’s see how they like us this year.

    • 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.
