A shout out to some things that might go under the radar.

Fullarton a good chop out for Max, and seemed to understand his forward role well.

The tackling from Viney, Trac and Oliver. A lot of in-close hard work from all three.

Langford's strength and poise in the last quarter.

The gut running from Langdon, Chandler, Rivers and Spargo in the last quarter.

The quiet but effective games from Howes and Windsor.

    Just heard on the radio Max say at 3QT "We ain't losing this"

    If Max Gawn says we ain't losing this, you better just take it to the bank.

    The Bison must have been listening

    Got the lead out of our saddle bags in Fritz and JVR. Petty with 4. Go Dees.

    I think at face value those two have been contributing to our woes. Not solely responsible, but the forward line functioned better without them today. I hope they are made to earn there way back.

    Pressure!!

    Not being ungrateful at all because all we want is a W but we still leak like a sieve.

    With those numbers you shouldn't be conceding 97 points.

    Credit where its due to Goodwin and the leaders.

    Terrific result but more importantly the way we played was outstanding

    As much as I'm ecstatic with the victory, Why does it have to take us starting down the abyss to play desperate hard fast footy like today?

    And accurate kicking wins games

    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.

    Controversial is not the word that comes to mind.

    A win! Finally!

    How good was Harvey "The Bison" Langford?!

    Congratulations to the players and coaching staff.

    Hopefully, things are starting to turn in our favour.

    GO DEMONS!!! ❤️💙👹

    No Lever no May no McVee. Petty up forward. Disco concussion.

    It was certainly not perfect but I’m not gonna complain about our rag tag group keeping their prolific scorers under 100.

    You could see we were pressing up just about 10m too high and Freo were super good rebounding off a defensive turnover. They are top 4 in the AFL at this so not surprised that they did this well.

    In the NBA all the teams used to foul Ben Simmons because he can't shoot free throws.

    If I was the opposition and Max marks it 70m out I'd dead set give away a 50m penalty on purpose to force him to take a close range set shot

    Means everything doesn’t it.

    It is great to win again. Grat effort to kick over 100 points in a game. The 4 first round picks in the last 2 years played well. I hope they play many more games together. The style played today was what I watched at training over the summer.

    Defensive pressure not really seen since GC game late 24.

    Most of our kicks actually went forwards and to team mates.

    Handball chains slick....

    Sadly I think it has come to the point that he should be told to try to kick a point on the right hand side of the goals. When he starts scoring points (and not on the left side!) he can be asked to aim at the goals again.

    Might even tune in to the replay of the 1st half this week.
    1st time in a long time I've had such a notion.

    • 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.
