The difference is their HB transition. In response we move the ball slower to setup behind the ball. This plays more to their benefit. 

We have to go as quickly as possible in HB just go for it.

    Love how they flush just about every set shot & we absolutely butcher our chances time & time again. 

    Skill execution is still a major concern of ours. Don’t see how that changes any time soon.

    Our forward line is always to crowded taking to long to decide what to do with the pill, need to play on instinct more...

    Maybe they're focused on just the new game style because there looks like no oppo work has been done. Doing nothing to stop Freo's transition game.

    Petracca 35 metrs out to goal running in and he handballs to a player slower than him and it’s a turnover.  What the ?  Go for goal. Overhandballing!!! Stop it now.

    I’m pretty sure that Fritta was dealing with more than one injury for a large part of the season, and that could have accounted for his appearing disinterested.

    Thanks for that. Perhaps you noticed these less than enthusiastic attempts as well.

    It certainly would explain them.

    Cheers HT.

    Enjoy the rest of the game and do what I'm doing.

    Curled up in a fetal position repeating ad nauseam.....it's only a practice game.

    I've had to cut back on my bourbon to payo for kayo this year.

    How are the new boys going?

    Lindsay ok but mostly defensive wing stuff

    Harvey flashes but not quite there 

    AJ very solid workhorse, hoping for more 

    Sharp - messy 

    Adams - some decent stuff, can get caught flat footed in transition but having a go

    Some forward … that’s enough. Tall or small !

    Positives so far are Tracc’s selflessness and the Windsor thing will work if we can get him involved.

    • 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.
