We are not good enough this season I fear.

I am starting to fear the same thing. Our worst is as bad as any, and our stock standard footy appears below Sydney etc... Our best is still as good as any but we are lucky to produce it for half a game. And our field kicking remains our Achilles heel.

    Nice if Fritsch to take the week off again. 

    He’s a deeply unserious footballer at the moment 

    Aren’t we meant to be winning this game easily?

    Again we aren’t as good what many believe we are.

    Mid table team.

    Disagree can’t stand them, they have no idea.

    how do you stop a sling tackle? Blow the f%%%%ing whistle early.AFL has no idea how to adjudicate to stop injuries.

    Yes we [censored] the bed, but stuff the umpires too

     

     

    It ain’t the umpires

    The non free kick against Reid for holding the ball really annoyed me. Thats holding the ball against 99% of players. 

    You can’t adjudicate the rules differently because you want him to keep taking the game again. Thats not how it works.

    It is how it works though

    and club presidents stand by, mute

    Except Petracca. Goes to the middle and wins some key clearances, goes forward and kicks goals.

    On both sides there were numerous tackles that should easily have been htb.

    It's been poorly umpired all season

    1st half stats

    score 37-50😡😡😡

    svorung shots 7-15 😡😡

    Inside 50s. 15-27😡😡😡

    centre clearances 5 - 9😡😡😡

    turnovers 37-30 😡😡😡 

    how bad??! 

    Sparrow is the new captain fumbles 🤢

    our midfield is one- / no-paced and the way they move away from stoppages with ease is a bit of a worry

    it's more or less a carbon copy of when they dominated flagmantle

    Been well held again.

    I expect a few from him soon though.

    Tends to impact games in busts.

    At least I hope so.

    I’ll keep questioning him and 1000 of his cheersquad will tell me I’m wrong. Vest next week please. He could be handy in a last quarter

    And we are now not focusing on contest which was our jam.

    Gawn, Tracc, Oliver and Viney are all poor kicks.

    Who are our elite kicks in the midfield???

    Fritsch is our real barometer, he plays well when the team does and does SFA when we struggle.

    Hes way too flaky after being in the system for years. Then again, you could say that about our entire team atm.

    Don't be silly. Goodwin is anti tag.

    Look at James Jordon now. Currently one of the best taggers in the AFL purely because horse Longmire actually finds different elements from a player that he knows will benefit the team.

    Goody is one dimensional with the way he uses our players.

    Will Schofield hates Melbourne. He was the one who got reported for hitting Clarrie and then Damien Martin called Oliver a stager on Twitter.

    Turn the volume down. He’s not going to do anything but barrack against us.

    • 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.
