    Who is the LTI?

    Hopefully not Grimes

    Not grimes but i am led to believe it (the LTI) is correct. Let me say it is a player that hasn't played a game yet in 09. thats all i will say for now!

    So then it's out of Watts, Maric, Robertson, McNamara, Wheatley, Blease and Jurrah?

    Of those Jurrah and Maric have permission to play this weekend for Casey so perhaps not either of them.

    robbo said on saturday that he has told "them" that he was right to play last week (v bris), so I guess no.

    Well i'll take an educated guess that McNamara's groin injury has been upgraded.

    I think its a bit odd we are promoting Valenti immediately. Is there room for him in our midfield? Isn't it a waste of money unless he will slot right into our 22?

    The upside is it will create competition for midfield spots which can only be a good thing.

    if the LTI is true then absolutely it makes sense to promote valenti. Re Competition I think this answers your first question.

    But just having him promoted for the sake of competition is a silly waste of money. Keep him on the rookie list, then, a few weeks down the track if his form warrants it promote him then.

    Spencer was promoted as there was a real need for a ruckman, based on Meeson and his amazing qualities, there is no real need to promote Valenti at the moment

    Yes but in hindsight the competition element is still there by simply having a vacant spot available for a rookie to take if there form warrants it.

    The MFC have said several times that rookies and match day payments blew our budget out last year.

    We shouldn't let financial issues compromise our footy department but I don't see Valenti having any impact right at the moment.

    I'd agree that i think this is most likely.

    • 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.
