Nah!

 

No votes.

I am taking the ballot paper in the polling booth, folding it and stuffing it in the box without touching pencil to paper.

Gee, everyone got beaten comprehensively. 🙄 

6. Petracca. 

5. ANB.

4. McVee.

3. TMac.

2. Salem.

1. Langdon.

 

First time I've never voted, but I can't nominate a some of these players and then justify it - if someone challenged me!

We had a few triers today.  I'll give it a go.

6. Salem - thought he held up well.  Only 6 contested but went at 78%

5. Gawn - despite the rubbish commentary, Gawn defeated both Darcy and Jackson when either was against him.  The damage they did was largely against Petty, or when Jackson was forward.  Down in clearances, but maintained the rage. Max is a victim of his own insane standards.

4. Viney - again only 8 contested but tackled well.  Tried hard

3. Petracca - low contested numbers as well but worked hard.

2. McDonald - kicked a couple of goals

1. McVee - absent in the first quarter but put up solid numbers in the last three and went at 100%.

Votes. Votes?  Really. 92 point loss. 
Hard job. It was a horror show. #Freo92

6- McVee  100% efficiency.  Held Walters. 8 intercept marks. Zero stupid turnovers. Tried all day 

5- Viney.  Tried and fumbled and fought and tackled and fumbled and tried and slipped and tried.  Tried tried tried. 

4- Petracca. Because he cared. Looked frustrated by teammates who guarded grass and no pressure. Kicked nice goal.  

3- Gawn. Because he’s a warrior and tried all day. Freo ran him ragged  

2- Langdon.   Because he kicks the ball. Others just handball to no one. Tried his guts out.  
 

1- Tomlinson.  Tried all day under barrage. Kicked well. 90% disposal efficiency 

 

negative votes to the forwards Petty Fritsch McAdam Turner Chandler. 
negative votes to turnovers from Bowey, Salem, Riv, Sparrow who gave up the footy all day.

Bowey 6!! No way. 6 missed tackles. 3 turnovers led to Freo goals. He missed a player from 15 metres away. Turnover. Freo goal.  Was often lazy with tackling and disposal. Shameful today.  

Nope not today 


6. Langdon

5.  Trac

6 The tree on the half forward flank

5 The immaculate playing surface

4 The glorious weather

3 The female singer performing "It's a Grand Old Flag" in the indigenous language pre-game

2 The welcome to country

1 (In advance) Qantas for getting me the hell out of here

No Dees player deserved a vote IMHO.


6 - Max 

5 -Trac

 

4 - Langdon

3 - Judd

2 - Tomlinson 

1 - TMac

i am hoping they had a bug but if not we are Finnito.😢

In a game which we will all want to forget, finding four quarter winners wearing red and blue was impossible.  My votes are more directed at players who can hold their head up, notwithstanding an extraordinarily poor team performance.

6.  Gawn -  tried his guts out for the full 100 minutes, despite being bashed from pillar to post.  Probably broke even in the ruck despite the odds, and was solid(ish) around the ground.     
5.  Salem  -  worked hard and probably came close to breaking even, despite the onslaught of ball coming into our backline.   Disposal under pressure was good, and there was certainly lots of pressure.    
4.  McVee  -  reliable under pressure for most of the game, and along with Salo, he was one of few who could make sound decisions, and hit targets out of defence.
3.  Tomlinson  -  caught out of position a few occasions (which was understandable given the number of times the ball was coming in), but he seemed reasonably ‘cool in the crisis’, and used it pretty well.  Our best tall defender.    
2.  Langdon  -  another ‘workhorse’ Langdon effort.    
1.   Viney  -  showed pride in the jumper, and never dropped his head.

I’m now turning to a bottle of Shiraz, in the hope that it will help me find a skerrick of solace in that dreadful performance.

I think that 15 meter turnover was miscalled actually - it was Rivers. Thought he was one of the few who showed some grit and courage, and occasional composure. But you know, most sucked, so…

This is difficult but I will give it a go.

  • 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.
