 He was tagged by 29.  Who had hardly any of it himself

A player so incredible he’s been in the papers all week looking for a trade, with everyone wondering how the hell he’s going to get a game somewhere else when he can barely get one for north

 

For those bagging Oliver, watch the reply. No, he is not at his best and it wasn't great by him, but he was held, scragged, pushed away from the contest by players facing away from the play, and huge Xerri was sometimes the 2nd player in on top of him.

Don't blame the umpires, we were garbage in that last quarter. Look within 

So were the umpires.....all one way

May was a match winner. Larkey is a star and was invisible.  Most important player in the team . Rising 33 and he is irreplaceable. Champion.

He was very good but also seems down on confidence and form. Just going through the motions.

Take the four points, because we won’t be getting many more this season. But jeez… we suck. 

Maybe West Coast?

One more surprise win potentially, but no more than 8 more points.

Ladder predictor has us at 12th.

 

Meh.

We are an absolute shadow of our former self and its a sad state of affairs watching perform the way that we did.

I'm scared for next week.


Petty played well,

Oliver and Viney have sublime kicking,

Fritsch is tough as nails.

All positivise

Tholstrup good early before fading

Rivers needs to be into the midfield permanently

Tholstrup playing his second game really showed a bit. Thought Rivers also lifted his work rate and played very well.

Not the disaster so many are wanting to paint it as.

Yep he would have been had Gus not been retired and Oliver would have played 8-10 games at Casey too.

On the TV it looked like it, maybe the MCC had the majority of our supporters. On the AFL members side it did look like dominated by North supporters.

At the ground we outnumbered them 3 to 1, if not more.

I can’t handle people saying ‘on the TV’ and then having a crack at our supporters. The MCG is open to all.

I can only imagine the Collingwood fans last week. reigning premiers and only won by 1 point

Assume they didn’t celebrate or sing the song?

Our fans are a bunch of sooks.

Don't know what was worse, England's performance after Kane's goal or us after half time.

There are many parallels to draw between England FC and the Dees. Fantastic list on paper, but no rhythm and seem to play weighed down under a cloud of expectation.

All we had to was win by 2 goals to cement a place in the 8, but not to be.

On the positive we almost went 3 entire quarters without kicking a behind.

Garbage final quarter. 

Potentially our last win for the year.

Slow, unfit, average skills, no discernable method or team rules, no midfield depth.

What a shambles.

Goodwin probably happy with himself after that win.

Sure, umps had a few howlers but not scoring at all in a final quarter is pathetic.

I am gobsmacked by that. Scoreless in the last quarter. Holding the ball whenever we had it on the wing and letting them flood.

We have zero confidence. Zero synergy. No structure. 

We are poorly coached and playing like huge plodders. We are bottom 4 the way we are playing.

We’re playing a host of under 22’s, have Oliver hugely out of form and Petracca out. I think we’ll finish bottom 6 but your post is over the top. Currently we aren’t that good but there’s talent on the field. 


We are not the team we were. Clearly. 

A third of our team are kids. We doesn’t deserve to be favourites against any expect the bottom few. 

Lets develop the kids, try to lay down a decent game plan and plan for the future 

28,000 people. Outnumbered by the 18th team and a minnow of the competition. 

Our supporters drop their bundle very, very quickly.

And yes, we played some very ordinary football, but are you a supporter or not?

Another ugly, North supporters were incredibly loud at the ground where as we heard crickets from our fans.

Ouch.

Free kicks were 24 to 27. Had nothing to do with how we capitulated in that last quarter. You can blame the coach and team trying to protect the lead. Pathetic 

I've seen plenty of games where I thought the umpires were trying to get a side over the line , but I don't think I've ever seen anything as blatant as tonight

  • 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.

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • 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.
