Gee our last quarters leave a lot to be desired, would love to see us just smash a team in the last quarter for once. Don't think i'm off the reservation in saying that questions have to be asked about our fitness team.

nonetheless, 4 points is 4 points.

    Also the debate is over, Max Gawn is the greatest ruckman to ever play the game.

    Great win! Much improved performance across so many facets.

    Although I think Fullarton would shirk a contest with Josh Schache

    I’m one of those who cares about habits. I care about %, I care about being as high on the ladder as possible. I care about Essenscum getting a lesser pick. I care about learning to stomp on teams when you have the chance.

    Arrogant coaching by Goodwin for taking Gawn off.

    I saw it differently dd and thought it was good to give him a rest.

    Even though our last quarter was pathetic especially without Gawn we had won the game and didn’t think it was an arrogant move and I am not a goody fan.

    Gee we have a knack of picking up tall forwards who have no physical presence whatsoever. Fullerton, Schache, Weideman to name a few.

    Are they still around?

    He is so important to our back 6 and controlled the game tonight

    5 day break was always going to be a factor. Reflect on that before criticising the last 10 too much

    Is it mathematically possible that a win in round one in a very tight game v Gws could have seen us with other permutations allow us to be in the top 8 and if so wth?

    Take the win, but Jeebers….

    I don't know how anyone can dispute it. It felt like we laid 3 tackles in that last quarter.

    Top 5 worst games of AFL footy I’ve ever seen. From a Dees perspective, we’re very very ordinary of course, but without the best ruckman the game’s ever seen, I think we might be the worst team in the league. At the moment. Things can improve no doubt. And they will. Hopefully. 71,000 at the G, and they all should feel robbed.

    What are you talking about?

    If we played how we played against North tonight, we would’ve lost by 100. Easily. The difference between how we’ve played against North/ESS/GC/Geelong is massive.

    I care about getting a win and building. Resting Gawn for next week

    Also I care about enjoying footy and enjoying a win

    Richmond also had a 5 day break, in fact they had 6 hours less recovery than us.

    So what your “reflections” on that?

    I guess we'll find out?

    Happy with the points but it's becoming a worrying trend. I dont need to bury teams every week but at least breaking even in the last would have nice.

    I always have more confidence when I know our side can run out games, it gives you a chance.

    A win is a win is a win though.

    I was disappointed Max went off, but he was heroic again tonight and needs every rest he can get.

    With the game won, imagine how Goodwin would have been crucified if he had stayed on and copped an injury.

    The fact is that some of his teammates need to look hard at themselves for downing tools in the final minutes.

    Am I in the game day thread? Miserable bunch you lot. After five horrible losses I’m taking wins in any way shape or form at the moment. And that… was a pretty easy one.

    A lot will be rightly said about Gawn’s performance but Jake Bowey being an elite AA defender wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card.

    Last quarters are a worry. Fullerton is not a worry because we’ll most likely never see him again at AFL level.

    Potentially 3 in a row next week and then Hawks are very gettable at the G. I’m choosing to believe! Lessgo

    Why should Gawn being off the ground result in the our players slacking off their efforts?

    Also what has Gawn sitting on the bench to do with some pathetic Melbourne turnovers hitting Richmond players on the chest?

    • 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.
