Sunday becomes a massive game for us now. Stay injury free and we can take care of the Pies next week.  After the bye it's North, Lions, Eagles & Bombers. Three of those at the MCG. Definitely not getting ahead of myself but this one could set us up. Stop them at the source and we're a real chance. I hope we're not carried away with last weeks win. Saints awful.  Having said that,it was a huge win and encouraging signs. Imagine if we can get a bigger output from Petty, Mcadam and, to a lesser extent, Fritsch. Even Clarry and Viney have a cog or two they can add. Good at their best Freo but still putting some store on the fact we have played in Alice Springs 11 times and this is their first.

Playing the eagles twice in what , 6 weeks?

The draw is hopeless

    Looking at the average number of goals kicked by our fwd line players this year and there is reason for concern.

    Not sure we have this one.

    Same old story in that we don't have enough talent fwd.

    Unless Petty comes good in this game, we will lose. 

    Presently sifting through a ratings comparison of how our boys are fairing in a form sense.

    Comparing their first six games, Rnds 0 - 5, with the next, Rnds 7 to 12.  I'm almost finished the entire set bar tomorrow's game.

    The stand out in terms of not looking good so far...   Chandler.

    He must be playing injured.

    Almost every single metric is a disaster post our bye round ie;  from round 7 onwards.

    The only area of improvement is tackles, which is most likely an indication he is second to the ball.... alot!

    I'm very surprised he's still playing to be honest and also that we haven't procured a replacement in the last few weeks.  The FD would be seeing this drop off also it's that alarming.

    We are effectively playing a man down here if he continues to be impeded by the ongoing leg / knee issue.

    Add to that Petty's form / no JVR and boy, we are way behind the eight ball up forward heading into tomorrow if they both fail again.

    We have also lost an average of 1.2 goals a game from ANB & Kozzy post the bye but gained most of that back through Petracca who has gone from 0.7 goals per game to 1.8 in the same period after being moved into a mostly forward role.

    dont give a [censored] how they do it, win big, smash em, win ugly, just get over Freo unscathed. Then throw the kitchen sink at the pies next week and beat them with our best footy. [censored] em.

    I hope their plane falls out of the sky when they land in Melbourne to play us. [censored] em

    Charming. I have no idea why someone would post that.

    I do.

    It’s called venting. Where’s the harm in it?

    Chin looked great in the Captain's Run today. No bandages, no restrictions, moved smoothly and efficiently. He's not injured now, that's for sure. Tipping a good game from him tomorrow.

    With our ever changing forward line, slightly changed backline, lack of real backup for Max and against the Dockers, I am worried about this game.

    Amazing win that - but seriously don't even think about stressing my heart like that again.

    An absolute genuine 50/50 game.

    They’re only a half game and 5% behind us and have beaten us 3 out of the last 5 games. Freo have definitely caused us problems under Longmuir.

    Will be a statement win IMO if we can get it done, with opportunities to come between rounds 13-17.

    • 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.
