Great performance. Great win. Goodwin’s words felt empty leading in but credit where it’s due. They lifted and got it done.

    Jack Viney is back.

    Max Gawn is back (still needs help though).

    Hopefully we continue.

    Well done Goodwin now the challenge is to keep going.

    Even if we had of lost that, I would have enjoyed watching that style of game.

    Very few complaints.

    So many good moments.

    Incredible response, hopefully we can see more of that for the rest of the season because that was very fun to watch

    The most fun and enjoyable match I have watched us play in at least 1 and a half years I reckon. The forward wave running whilst implementing great team defensive pressure is what we have grown accustomed to.

    Next 2 highly winnable and Hawks proven not to be as invincible as most like to believe. If we are real with ourselves, we beat Richmond and West Coast easily and suddenly 3 in a row going into Hawthorn…

    Let’s hope to god this is first of many wins and the new standard going forward..

    Finally showed some spirit.

    Controversial opinion - but if we don't make finals, I think it might have been better for the club long term if we'd lost that game.

    I hope I'm proven wrong but I'm convinced Goodie is not the way forward and this is just delaying the inevitable.

    I’m not usually one to go early on my calls, but after today’s win—our first for the season—it’s clear we’ve made some serious learnings. A few things stood out:

    1. Max has a future with the Nationals—no one goes to the right more reliably.

    2. Goody’s contract should be extended to 2029—first item on the new CEO’s to-do list.

    3. Lever’s calling is clear—full-time interchange steward. Give him the hi-vis and headset now.

    4. Trac is the future head of the Victorian Retail Butchers Association—his slicing and dicing today was top shelf.

    5. Goody has implemented so many learnings—at this rate, by Round 10 we’ll have enough to open a TAFE campus.

    6. The umpires continue to innovate—consistently confusing, admirably chaotic, and never guessing the same way twice. True artisans of the grey area.

    7. And finally—can someone check the Tullamarine arrivals lounge? Pretty sure the Shockers might be smuggling Kosi back West when no one was looking.

    After our bad losses to Freo last year, and given our start this year, this is a MASSIVE win!!

    Koz Bowey and Viney were awesome.

    Over 100? A win? Now THAT’S retro! 🤣

    It’s never too late to turn things around, let’s use this and build confidence!

    Great win boys, thank you. So proud.

    Miss this feeling ❤️

    Nah, as Craig McCrae has said many times that he values players than picks because winning is the potion that drives success.

    We need to win games and winning attracts top talent.

    Aw, thanks.

    Now I get to celebrate both an excellent, dynamic, character-filled win by the Demons, AND I get to prove my point that some people put indulging their vendettas ahead of the enjoying the club's successes.

    Back in the ol’ days, I notched up three in a row at Hawthorn—those were the glory dayz.

    Honestly we never really looked like losing. Gawn just had that aura about him defensively that tends to mean we win.

    • 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.
