Another red time goal! Every fricking game.

Goodwin team in a nutshell. Awareness zero. Btw why did Petraca forced that disposal? Just take the tackle and stoppage.

 
 

I'm trying to be positive but Max, Fritta and Tracc are just cooked.

Stick a fork in them all.

Their done.

Not too bad so far to be honest, much better than last week. You can see what they’re trying to do. Just need a bit more composure

    good for half the qtr... poor skills when we have control to deliver the ball to the advantage of our players. Goodwins tactic were shown up in the 2nd half in terms of positioning the players. lets see if they change it up to adjust this qtr.

    Gawn struggling again this week. Is he struggling with carrying the load on and off field for so long or is the end coming fast?

    The end coming I think.

    A for effort so far.

    C- for skill.

    Awful errors from Max and May.

    you're being generous. F for skills more like
     

    What is the point of Sharp and Turner? Both are great at disappearing when the ball is in their area.

    Oliver's mind is willing, but his body is cactus. He is an absolute liability at centre bounces.

    Comical fwd entry then with kicks to no one

    Jeez

    Question for the new players - why did we recruit Campbell

    You reckon the dual ruckman strategy that clearly failed with Grundy is going to suddenly magically work with Campbell?

    Clearly he's there as backup.

    Ditto Oliver, no speed or acceleration.

    Cats controlling the air

    They're:

    +7 in tackles

    +20 in marks

    Our disposal 58% v 75%

    Their loose defensive player is killing us

    Bowey no impact

    Maybe Goodys comments in round 2 weren’t off the mark r.e. Gawny

    Yes he’s had a bad game here and then but this looks different.

    Gawn is done as a solo ruckman he needs support now.

    Bring in Campbell (I think that’s him).

    A man and coach has got to know his limitations.

    On one of the footy shows, they showed he is rucking event more this year than ever.
    We need to bit the bullet and bring in a second ruck if we want him to keep playing for us.

    Campbell did his hammy for Casey.

    13 demons without a tackle

    Oppo defenders just need to stand 40m out directly in front and we will hit them every time ffs.

    Max looks way off it

    That about sums it up.

    Straight lines into the 50 or mark just outside, panic and play on then kick it to no one or no one's advantage.

    Zero pressure inside 50 when the ball hits the deck. They are first to the loose ground balls i50 almost always.

    Our two way running through the middle from our big boys is shot. They can't even run with old man danger even when theyre right alongside him at the drop.

    Aside from Koz there's just a lack of guys hitting the ball drop at pace. Too stagnant and reactionary. Someone needs to be on the move at stoppages and 666.

    This just doesn't look like a big rockets been pile drived through the camp when it should've been. Hec the do or die kill or be killed response should've come last week.

    Is there any chance we can look inside as first option when coming off HB instead of kicking in straight lines most of the time, often to a 2 v 1!???

    Plenty of time left for so many to not leave so much to so few in this game and grow a leg for the win.

    a lot of people retiring Max after his one dip in form in years.

    I share the frustration of late goals!!!!

    JVR is now better in the ruck than as a MARKING forward

    a few clever contributions by Melksham

    Turner, hold that mark!

    • 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.
