What time is prematch tonight?

6:50pm

-----------------

Pre-game

We strongly encourage everyone to be in their seats by 6:40pm, with the pre-match ceremony commencing at 6:50pm.

The Anzac Day Eve pre-game ceremony will pay tribute to current service men & women, veterans and family members of the Australian Defence Force.

As the lights at the MCG are dimmed in honour of the ANZAC’s, we will take a moment of silence for private reflection, a flame from the Shrine of Remembrance will be delivered and the lighting of the cauldron will be done on stage.

This will be followed by a moving observance of the Last Post, and New Zealand and Australian National Anthems.

Before the ball is bounced there is one real big positive. The 8 kids with around 20 or less games are getting a feeling of the atmosphere of big games and with get to see the effort required at this level. Excited for them. Pitty Sonsie is not there though.

[Broadsword]

Not expecting a win today but I would like to see better application and skills. Pressure and tackling is free.

I'll be satisfied enough if we see the right intent.

Troy Chaplin up and about for the Dees.
Got the defenders together for a pump up huddle pep talk



Lest we forget

Reckon we'll know in the first 5 minutes whether we'll be competitive or not tonight. Melbourne will be fired up after their loss last week. We need to strong first quarter unlike the past 3 weeks.

[Broadsword]

God I love Pickett. He is a seriously smooth mover.

[mightytiges]

Dumb overpossessing by hand. You can't do that unless your teammate is able to move forward.

How was that not a free to Balta? Diabolic

[mightytiges]

Cumberland crumbs the goal

Rich  1.0-6
Melb  1.0-6

[Broadsword]

The kid is just a natural forward. WOW. Play him, play him, play him!

"It's the way Richmond plays why they are last in the free kick differential"

Cumberland crumbs the goal

Rich  1.0-6
Melb  1.0-6

Let's hope he kicks 6.

[Broadsword]

Wow, our forward line looked functional then. And a measured kick lace out inside 50. Crazy.

[mightytiges]

Bolton to Jack 35 out. Misses.

7 - 6


Got to kick those, Jack..
