No because at his best he reads the play well, finds good position and kicks beautifully

That may well be true, but he still needs to bring the defensive heat and effort

    (Including tonight)

    Melb and hawthorn play the exact same teams as each other over the next 3 rds.

    The only way forward for Goodwin and is new style of play is to win the next 3.

    If we win the next 2 and get belted by the Hawks, he’ll still be in trouble I reckon.

    Gates open at 5:30pm (MCC 5pm)

    Order of events:

    6.50pm - Pre-Match Entertainment
    7.01pm - Light Horses Lap of Honour
    7.12pm - Observance Ceremony
    7.18pm - Joint Banner Run Through
    7.30pm - Match Start

    Note: they pause entry through all gates during the Observance Ceremony (at 7.12pm). If you're not inside the ground by then, you'll be held outside.

    With increased security measures it’ll take longer to process everyone. They really should open the gates at 4:30pm imo. At Easter Monday’s Hawks vs Geelong match there were folks who missed the first quarter due to the time it takes to get everyone in.

    I am heading down to this game - one of my 5 annual games I attend seeing that I live 2 hours away. Our family group will have 3 Dees supporters and 4 Tigers supporters.

    Tigers are no easy beats because they are playing with intensity, system and skill. Midfield battle will probably break even, our backline should be far too good and experienced to be truly troubled, but their backline is really, really strong. Whoever Vlastuin takes he will probably beat, so one of Petty or Fritsch is looking at a average evening. I can't see Fullarton on him unless he is given a negating role.

    Our game plan has changed/is changing too much for Yze to have to much inside knowledge, but he will know how our stars play.

    For mine, accurate foot skills, and intensity when in transition are the keys for a Dees win.

    I imagine we'll try to put Tom Sparrow on Vlastuin.

    Make sure you wear the monocle in the correct eye - massive faux pas

    My sister and a bunch of her Sydney friends visited Melbourne for Easter and will be attending tonight, cheering on the Red and the Blue!

    Sadly, I stayed behind in Sydney to play host to a friend visiting from overseas and so still have not managed to visit and watch a game. But I'll be scaring my neighbours and passer bys on the street with my shouting at the TV. GO DEES ❤️💙

    Casey are using great combination of maintaining possession with lots of chip kicks and lead up marks and going fast with overlap and forwad handballs. I reckon that's the template for Goody's game plan.

    I know context is everything, but I actually felt a bit uncomfortable reading this. I'm curious...did it also affect others in that way?

    Nahhh, it’s not really possible to talk about competitive sports without referencing combat. We say teams ‘beat’ other teams all the time.

    Easily the worst thing about sitting in the MCC is the lack of feel for the modern game by so many. "Just kick it" is a regular refrain, as is "terrible kick, number ten". "His name is Turner, you nuffy" is my response.

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
