    Sam Blease fibula fracture Rnd 5 Next season

    On that, I heard Jack Watts saying that Blease had actually dislocated his ankle and fractured his fibula when on the TAC Future Stars program.

    This is what I suspected may have happened, as it has happened to me a few years ago and is quite common - whenever the ankle is dislocated there must be a fibula fracture up higher to allow the ankle to slip out of the joint.

    I'm happy to say that, as explained to me by the surgeon at the time, the ankle will heal to be stronger than it was before the injury and I can definitely say this is true.

    My right ankle is now clearly stronger and more stable than my left ankle which has never been injured.

    He'll be out of footy for 9 months, but no long lasting effects.

    I just hope Sam was tough enough to pop it back in himself ( just like I did :P )

    Frawley, Rivers, Green and Wheatley are all available this week? Wheatley will come back through Casey, surely, but that means we might be able to bring Rivers and/or Frawley back this week to help out in defence. Frawley would be a good match up for Mark Williams I think.

    • 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.
