    It’s ok We will take learnings from this loss just like every other loss.

    3 goals in three quarters. Should learn you that does c not win many games. To I think we got close at one stage shows how bad those scum are.

    I think that will be the last time I'll tip us for the season. Lucky we're going to get an amazing pick. with our No.1 pick this year. Oh wait!

    Sadly 10 minutes of team football combined with poor tactics in the first half is not good enough, People are lamenting May and Gawn mistakes, but in the scheme of things it would not have made a difference for those couple fo goals.

    The team tactically and physically have not been prepared for this season to compete for 4 qtrs.

    I switch off with 5 to go, so I didn't see the player post siren reactions this week.

    Goody should've been sack when he lost to the Eagles by 6 goals in Perth. Haven't been the same since. You just know he will come out and say we've improved in his press conference and "we have enormous belief in our plan and have a desire to get better". Just bin him for the love of god.

    Post North after Chandler kicked 3 goals and all his defenders came rushing out I said he wouldn't kick 3 goals in his next 3 games (and if he did I'd donate 50$ to charity). He kicked 1 and was a passenger again. This is our problem. So many sub standard players that rode on the back of the elite guys.

    Trac missed that sitter to get it back to 10 then they just kicked on & we gave up 2 junk time goals

    Was that the difference in the game? No.

    Fair dinkum the club are gaslighting us or even just being straight up dishonest to us about the connection and ‘love’ they have.

    Something feels amiss and broken.

    It’s starting to feel disingenuous.

    Time for big balls and big calls. The damage that zero change is causing to this football club is catastrophic.

    Last week Goodwin banged on about not just wanting to get better…

    Were we better tonight, or less than that?

    I’m genuinely somewhat intrigued by what he’ll say tonight. But I don’t have the fortitude to watch it. I’m sorry. It’ll be some [censored] that will make my heart sink and blood boil at the same time.

    The captain telling me, still, the Titanic is not sinking, even though we’re up to our necks…

    A few good signs, probably all we can expect for the moment.

    Decent performance across the ground, marred by a few costly errors (May and Gawn dropped marks), the younger players struggling a bit, Windsor hasn't been himself since returning, Langford can't handball to save himself, Lindsay getting too easily out-bodied, etc. etc. But tackles, clearances, contested possessions all trending in the right direction.

    However: This was supposed to be the breakout year for JVR, unfortunately it's close to his worst. Add the injury to Jefferson, Johnson not there yet (if he'll ever be?), and Fullarton improving but ???, and we have a forward line that is a long way off kicking enough goals.

    Study the 3rd quarter all week Johnathan Brown says. So study how to play against an opposition that's got a 5 goal lead and can afford to play as if they've got another quarter up their sleeve to relaunch their running+attack/uncontested mark game style?

    Fools gold. Players also celebrated those goals like they were up by 6 goals themselves. Embarrassing

    Totally agree with that. When Fritsch kicked that goal you would have thought we were 10 goals up. It give an insight into his thinking.

    I am devastated about watching Kozzy play for another club.

    We're a step closer to a new coach I guess.

    The sooner the better.

    So depressing that we will most likely be bottom 4 and we won’t even have our natural 1st round draft pick. Least Lindsay and Langford look good.

    But our method is broken and our talent forward of the ball is not good enough

    I’m 48. I was there in 1988 and 2000… And the Neeld era. But I’ve never been so depressed as an MFC supporter… Maybe my age is showing.

    I’ve been on the fence but I think I’m on the “move Goody on” train. Too much talent out on the park to be playing this badly.

    FWIW… I think the lads had a good crack.

    And Menzie would have to be the biggest list clogger in the AFL. Doesn’t say too much about our backline, does it?

    • 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.
