    Cant wait for Strauss!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Not good that Grimes started off with only probably being out for 3 weeks now listed to round 5. Really is a bit of a worry

    'mousey', I hope he's playing at trevor barker oval this week.

    I'd like to see that! :)

    Is that where casey plays this week?

    Buckley missing to rd 5 too is a shame. Although he has not been great so far, he does provide much needed run.

    Bennell i would think would be pretty safe, until Rohan Bail and Strauss come in.

    According to that list, Robbo should have played on the weekend. Where's alpha33's list?

    He played with Casey.

    He is probably 2 to 3 weeks away from AFL selection.

    For most injured players there is likely to be 1 or 2 weeks with the VFL to be in AFL condition.

    Where is the lumbar stress fracture? Lower back at the base of the spine?

    Yeah, we're down @ Sandy v Zebras for Rnd - 1, Sunday.

    Bennell I thought actually looked fairly good. I would like to see him play on v PA & Tiges.

    Jetta may need a rest for Maric soon.

    We play @ Subiaco, Rnd 7, that would be good to have them back for the trip over so their family & friends could get to see them play.

    How accurate is this report of all the players please? I know for a fact that Belly's thumb was more than a fracture. It was shattered in 3 places, pinned and plated. A 4 week injury if all goes according to plan.

    So it was fractured in 3 places?

    Considering he missed most of last season with similar injury I'd be very very surprised if he is back that soon. In fact I'd be surprised if we see him until very late in the season if at all.

    Just goes to show you need to check with the player where possible. The papers seem to me to guess most of the time. Having said that you are hard pressed to get info from a player when it is minor and not as obvious.

    The Garland - Round 17 return is a long range forecast. I would assume that would be for a possible return to Casey. I'm thinking season for him.

    If the forecast is correct, they can take over at the weather bureau.

    What the Feck is with Whelan's 8 week calf injury.

    Far out

    Termed an old mans injury, unfortunately once you start doing calf muscles as a footy player they are very hard to get over and tend to reoccur often. Might not see much of Wheels again which would be really disappointing as I love watching his rugby style tackles and bumps!

    If I believed that I'd quit.

    No wonder Grimes is setting himself up as my new possible future favourite...if Wheels ever retired

    Robbo, Healy and McNamara off the injury list and into games at Casey last week. Wheatley you would assume to join them this week. No new ones added at this time (touch wood) starting to trend in the right direction.

    The 16 weeks (4 months give or take) was the length of time estimated on the Melbourne website.

    I'm not sure where they get a lot of their information from, but generally when I've looked at it, the estimates and injury descriptions have been reasonably accurate.

    Could we be seeing the unfurling of 16hotgod? I hope not...just yet. Wheels still has something left. I can't believe it's 8 weeks though. Must be pretty bad. Hope it's not to do with BB's fitness regime. Soft tissue injuries...

    • 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.
