Im very keen on knowing how blease and strauss are going.

Someone already has started a thread on blease wich is good.

Whats the news with him hows he been going in the twos?

FRom what ive seen our top 3 pics are the least ive seen of but IMO hoping to be the three most important players to helping us get to that premiership.

Any news would be very apreciated.

    I believe that's what they call a "knee-related ankle injury."

    Really looking forward to seeing this kid in action. From what I saw last yr, he's got great kicking skills and good pace. Exactly what we need.

    How is he struggling with the physical side of the game Mclean4Brownlow? As in he is panicking when about to be tackled and therefore rushing his disposals? Or he isn't going in hard enough himself to get ball?

    What do you mean, tackling side of things & knocks to the body? I hope not. I understand he's young, but these attributes are pre-requisites for playing AFL. Please, please, please be a good pick 19.........I'm now having visions of Zaharakis' match winning goal against Collingwood thanks to your post.

    Like you HT, I wanted us to pick Zaharakis.

    Yeah I wanted Swift or Zaharakis. Strauss has an amazing kick on him though, would have thought we would have seen him by now.

    Worth watching the youtube highlights to remind you what we are waiting for.

    Struggling with the physical side, as in, the problems holding him back are injuries and fitness.

    Even Whelan is playing in the Casey 2s coming back from injury -- does he not go in hard enough??

    • 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.
