Apart from rounds 1-2 our midfield have been belted all year. wtf is going on in our engine room? Max is having his best season in 5 years and the rest are [censored] the bed.

    righto. i’m off to my super important BS meeting

    ill be checking this thread though so no spoilers!!

    Tall forwards need to at least contest the footy and bring it to ground, getting out marked far too easily. Smalls need to apply far more defensive pressure when it does hit the deck. Looks like they're walking it out at times. We're not out of this yet but given its wet it's going to be a struggle.

    I was before the game but that has quickly worn off! Grabbing a drink to settle my nerves.

    It’s hard to think of anyone who is playing well for us and so many non existent. It’s been a real hard watch so far. Would love to know how fit our midfielders are.

    I don’t understand why more club execs don’t question this in public

    For a multi billion dolllar enterprise it’s absolutely unacceptable 

    heads must roll

    if nothing else pert just question the treatment of max 

    Bigger than umpiring though. Post the Maynard attempted murder pert should have beelined for media hip and shouldered daixos away and said “THAT. WAS. NOT. A. FOOTBALL. ACTION. We expected 8 weeks.”

    can we please have a proper crack in this half and restore some respectability.

    Our game plan and forward structures are not conducive to kicking big scores.

    That’s been a problem for a while and been staring us in the face for so long.

    Weve placed too much of an emphasis on contest and defence, to the detriment of scoring quickly.

    Scoreboard pressure is the best type, ours moves slower than a flat battery clock

    when Trac kicked the two we still didn't have the run of play. By the way why take him off?' He's playing forward FFS. 

    Petty is being smashed by Weitering. Pickett unsighted. 

    What do you want me to do? 

    - 16 contested

    Yes, why did we take Tracc off.  Just a complete brain fade of where the game was at and instead going with pre programmed rotations like robots.

    Same with Max in the first.  Left off at the wrong time of the match for too long.

    Petty down back on DeKoning to free up Lever as the spare.

    Leave Tracc up forward.  Kozzy into the middle.

    What a good start to the second half

    Good night.


    Touched but camera the 1975 model.

    Our midfield is really broken.

    Jack Viney is nothing like his last season. They look very very flat footed.

    That tackle by Sparrow was unacceptable.

    Well a couple of Carlton fans just got engaged on the big screen while Love Story by Taylor Swift was playing. 
    So…. Ummm… yeah 

    The MCC is playing to the [censored]. Can’t talk to your neighbour during breaks in game now.

    That passage sums our night in 10 seconds of play. Poor hit out, weak tackle attempt, no pressure at ground level, defenders out of position. 

     

    Suck it ARC. Thank you Kozzie. Another 3 please

    • 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.
