Goodwin's press conference had that slightly-[censored]-off tone that I rather like. He never gives anything away, win or lose, but he did have a bit of a point to make today. Good on him. I'm not a huge fan, but kudos to him on today's performance

    That would be great if indeed it was a fact. But it isn’t. Any or all of them leaving us is also not a fact. You can speculate on the likelihood of such but you can’t say anything is a fact.

    I know you are close to the players but as an outsider I would be staggered off Clarry out Viney goes anywhere.

     You asked about what Viney said - I think there are links to it earlier in this thread but essentially when asked about leaving he instantly said he wouldn't be but when asked again, he said he would wait until later - words to that effect. Most people think that he had meant that he would be staying but then realised that was ruining his bargaining power so he walked back from it. I agree with that interpretation.

     I thought he was great - he looked and acted like he had been vindicated.

    The top 4 this year are all playing average football and are completely gettable. I’d go as far as saying if pies make it, they’d almost be favourites.

    I was really impressed with Marty Hore, he looked really solid, beat his opponent consistently and some of his kicking really opened up the game for us. 

    a role we've really missed since Hibbo retired.

    I agree with you, I’d also be staggered if Vines or Clarrie left. But it’s not “a fact” that they’re not going anywhere. Also, the poster named Tracc as well.

    On the bus to the airport after the match I was chatting to a couple who’d flown over from Perth for the match. We talked about the win and the media pile-on and all things Dees in general. 20 minutes into the conversation I discovered I was chatting with Mr & Mrs Rooey 😁

    Jo (Roo’s mum) said Roo loves living in Melbourne and wouldn’t consider moving back to Perth, or anywhere else for that matter. He has a girlfriend here and is happy and settled.

    They said they’re really pleased with  Roo being part of our club and there’s no reason for them to ever worry about him, which they appreciate. ❤️💙

    Also, a lady working at security at GC airport commented on our players. She said every single one of them was polite and respectful and this is always how they are when they come through security. Apparently there are “quite a few” AFL teams whose players “could learn a thing or two about manners” from our boys. She told me she’d just emailed her manager to share her observation… again.

    Me, upon hearing this…

    Just watched the game.

    Viney played like he was in a final. Just incredible leadership.

    I thought Fritsch did much better leading more upfield. Got him into the game.

    I'll say it again, we'll really miss Tommo as May waters out next year. We should have played him more often this year.

    Tholstrup and Disco are really coming along.

    I know we've recruited a few dodgy players over the last few years, but we have some great young kids coming through.

    A great win today. I think everyone involved in the club needed that win today

    Go Dees

    Proud of how the boys played yesterday and some good reward for their effort over the past 6 weeks or so. Viney is an absolute beast and it is so good to see all of the boys in the circle, not to mention a happy Clarry in amongst it. Looking forward to Friday night and hope we bring the heat vs the Filth.

    Kossie 

    4 disposals

    89 metres

    Efficiency 75%...Viney 77%

    Uncontested  3

    Tackles 1

    PRESSURE ACTS 34!!

    Seriously? Running quickly after the ball carrier ,who knows you're there and has time to steady and dispose , is basically wasting the time of the stats man.

    Week after week

    There's a lot of upside I guess

    Anyone else confused how Viney can play some games at 110% and go full beast mode while some games he just goes at about 80%? If he played with that intensity every week he’d probably be a top 3 player in the comp. Just incredible.

    It's incredibly hard to back up that kind of intensity each and every week.

    Especially with thr position he plays being a battering inside midfielder.

    Taking into fact that he is 30 years of age and it is an absolute grind each and every week in getting your body up most weeks.

    I had similar thoughts about Marty Hore. HBF is a unique spot to play - he has put in some good performances over time in that spot. Consistency will be the key, I guess.

    • 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.

      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.
