We lose by a point and that ends our flag chances? You give in easily not like the team you support.

joeboy - hatchet out tonight

jack billings - added some class

Given the startled deer in the headlights first quarter and the persistence with dry weather tactics in the wet. The club will employ a Maasai dietitian, add blodplatter onto the luncheon menu and use hermatogen as a gameday snack. Tom McDonald can fire up the barbecue but the steaks will be strictly rare. Ben Brown will of course be excused.

The Waverley Park irrigation technician will bought out of retirement to manage Casey Fields during future training sessions.

Van Rooyen, vastly overated player!


I thought Howes had some good moments, despite being part of a backline that was well beaten in the first. He seems very calm under pressure

Interesting that a lot of the players who had big games last week were flat.

Kozzie, Langdon, Lever, Fritta, Petty and Oliver in particular.

The number of times in the rounds so far that we have scored zero or one or two goals for the quarter Ā  Tells you we have serious attack problems ( as if we did not know) that have not been addressed.

no finals team with a chance can afford this error we need a dedicated forward coach with ability and expertise in the forward line. This is not to denigrate existing coaches Ā but it is not good enough.

it is wasting the talents of Gawn Viney Petrarca and Oliver not to mention Salem

May and Lever Ā  These players were too hard to get to waste. Ā One flag is not enough it’s a fail !

Just filth, basically cost us game in first quarter, I can’t enjoy the game anymore, they’ve ruined itĀ

Stafford has had the forward line gig for a while now and has not delivered IMV

MFC: Too many passengers.

One more…

Petracca: Play angry more

It made me think a bit about the 2002 preseason when Daniher threw Neitz into the ruck and he played physical and angry. From that point onward he was a beast.

Stafford shouldv have bee delisted after last year even though injuries were a mitigating circumstance.Ā 
Thought Mini might have turned it around although our entry and some aspects are a lot better than last season. Individual training on forward skills is necessary to get that aspect up to scratch. It’s also the consistency aspect of being ON and able to kick straight.Ā

21 years old. FFS! Name another key forward his age we had access to averaging more than a goal game. Give the kid a break.

JVR is still learning the game but has the necessary agro and drive.


ANB - Great role model

Petty - Kick set shots!!!

Kozzie - needs some consistencyĀ 

Windsor - Fantastic first 9

Midfield- Smashed in guts

Forwardline - We need one!!!

I thought he was ok last night.Ā  Would love for Fullarton to come in so JVR can actually play a whole game up forward.Ā  From being at the game, seems to start either deep forward or on the bench, about 8 min mark goes into the ruck, does 8 odd minutes in the ruck heads off the ground then gets back on for the last 5 odd minutes each qtr as a forward.

Never plays our deepest forward, that seems to be Fritsch, which didn't work last night

  • 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.Ā 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.Ā

  • 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.
