Not even the do gooders of last week can say we've been the better side in this one

    Two things late in the last quarter:

    • Stoppage 10 metres out from WCE point post, Oliver handballs to no-one TOWARDS their goal. 
    • Petty v McGovern on the wing, absolutely no contest at all. No strength or contest, just a simple mark to McGovern.

    My wife, who watches some Dees game, but isn't really into footy, said "it looks like they don't want to play". 

    Worst I have seen the Dees play since 2019. No intensity or passion at all.

    OK just checked the score. What the hell. I know we lost lever but seriously it's west coast. 

    Who's on waterman?

    They’ve had 2 seasons to address our fwd issues with BB & Tmac succumbed to injuries & form yet failed trying to turn defenders & Grundy into fwds & in doing so robbed them of another flag 

    Spot on, except I'd say it's 3 years we've had to work on an oppo key forward to get them to us, for nadda.

    We've played Petty forward when he's a far better back, paid $600k to watch Grundy play VFL, and now are playing BBB and Turner forward simply because there's no one else.

    I'd say our window is well and truly shut. One flag during lockdown from the best list we've had in 60 years. So disappointing

    The imbalance of our list really showing. We clearly can't trust Fullarton and he's just another break in case of emergency list blogger like Schache. 

    I’m confused, you say “CLEARLY can’t trust Fullarton”

    Based on what ?

    He hasn’t been given a chance yet.

    This was the game to try him.

    Instead they opted for Brown.

    ”IMHO” that was incompetency from the Selectors.

    Im sorry, but max past it?  He has been in career best form and a lock for AA

    He doesn't look 100% fit and he will be 34 next year.

    Of course he will still dominate in some games but, how much longer can we expect him to keep going?

    Wow. A full implosion.

    Getting in now so I've spat my dummy already and am not tempted to join in the post-game misery w---.

    Stars were flat, and the tail was loooooong.

    Passenger culture creeping in.

    It may be time to rethink and plan ahead.

    Use this season to develop the team of the future. 

    That includes what are we doing with our coaching staff (starting with the Ruckman who is training our forwards).

    I have some hope in our yourn guns like JVR, Taj, Windsor, McVee, Kozzy, Rivers.

    Maybe it's just the end of the road for our 2021 players like TMac, BBB, Petty (if his head is already in Adelaide), Salem.

    We could use some young talent in the midfield. Max is also starting to look past it, and understandably so, he's carried this team since 2015.

    It's gonna be a long season.

    Agree with all that except Max still a few more good games in him but the others mentioned on the money. The good thing is the game nearly over so don’t have to listen to any more of this commentary,

    Goodwin...  learnings..... none ..

    [censored]...we're bathwater drinking.... nicey nicey.... pretenders.

     

    Well done Simpson..   kudos

    Our whole forward line, Fritsch included, have provided absolutely no defensive pressure.

    Goes straight in and straight back out.

    Career best form and best in the league. Im not talking about age ect.  You've lost it if you think he looks slow and past it

    Agreed.

    Although Tommy has had a very good year down back.

    It's our fwd line excluding Fritta that just lacks a Darling type player.

    Add now our mids look suspect.

    JV must be injured.

    The premiership window is closing fast if it ain't after tonight.

    Our fwd lines not going to change. 

    Our mids might

    We’ve changed, for the worse. Attempted to reverse engineer something like 2020 Richmond and haven’t added the list pieces to fill the gaps for where the game is going 

    And that's the gameplan in a nut shell.

    Those disparaging the Club Coach and team can get back under the rock they came from.

    Based on never picking him when we have one ruckman every single week.

    Not a hard one to follow.

    Our best forward def pressure was trio of Spargo anb kozzy doing the business

    injuries and other reasons have meant we haven’t been able to run this this season

    • 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.
