    No Jack Grimes :blink: Definitely be listening intently to KB this afternoon.

    No Miller. Juice to spearhead the forward line. Could kick 10.

    Any chance Rivers plays forward.

    Meesen, No joke. I think he's a big chance to play round 1. Jamar needs a run and the clock is ticking.

    NO LTI for N. Dynamite.

    We are clearly rotating some players and resting them systematically.

    Note how Bate didn't play last week, but is in this week.

    Excellent news about Rivers.

    Let's hope he can get through more than just 5 minutes of game time :rolleyes:

    I think this is a good thing. I would suspect that we did not take him as a project player therefore throw him in the deep end. Couldn't be any worse off then playing an underdone jamar.

    An article mentioned Rivers would probably 'play a half'.

    We should be thankful if he gets through it OK.

    I think it's possible that we've rested Miller to make room for Zomer, (we'll see) as we have a full compliment of ruckmen in the squad as well as tall defenders.

    I think Grimes makes way for Buckley this week.

    Hello 'Landers.

    1 Of my sons has "arranged" to have the day off to attend the game and provide me with text scores whenever they happen. He will also ring me at the end of each qtr with a summary of play.

    I will be posting these scores and comments on 'Ology, but I will attempt to get my brother to copy and post them here to service 'Land, in an attempt to avoid the terrible congestion that we experienced in the corresponding Cairns game last year.

    I would just ask that if I can arrange to get them posted here, that everyone takes a good look at the time in the bottom right of your screens, and only refresh on the stroke of every minute, as the frustration of being unable to post due to site congestion almost tips me over the edge.

    IF Meesen gets a run Rd 1, and it's looking probable, hed better make the most of it - because his job is on the line.

    Thanks for your offer faultydet. I remember last year when we played the Tigers up at Cairns both sites crashed at times during the course of the game. Hopefully, people will stick to the one site and we'll get regular scores and updates without interruption to the system.

    The Rivers article seems to have disappeared from the Dees web site, at least for now anyway

    If Rivers manages to touch the ball and / or an opponent without self destructing im going to throw a party.

    Obviously we are really into working our new defense given there isnt a reasonable fwd (ex bate) on that list.

    It's not fair, why isn't this going to be televised? Corporate Bastards.

    Why is it looking probable? He has done nothing but disappoint.

    Spencer may be a rookie but has it all over Meesen.

    Cant they put Robbo on the LTI in the interim and bring Spencer onto the list? He may be raw but in my mind Spencer is our No 1 ruckman.

    Having Meesen in the ruck is akin to saying to the opposition "Here you start with the ball" everytime.

    Isnt Robbo already on the list, or is the new season an automatic take off?

    Agreed. Meesen isnt an AFL footballer. Experiment failed. Lets move on.

    Maybe Robbo is closer to playing than we expect. Cant we just put Meesen on the LTI and get it over and done with?

    • 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.
