    Good to see Harmes and Kent back

    Indeed, for both. Harmesy has shown quite a bit in his first year so far.

    Goes to show how much attention I have paid to the rest of the VFL, didn't know Richmond had their own team.

    15 of our players listed with Casey. Must suck being one of their players right now. I guess it's a good sign that our injury list is under control for the moment.

    Weren't they originally the Lions before the alignment with Richmond?

  • Quote

    They started in the VFA as the Lions. Changed to the Tigers when they partnered with Richmond.

    When that partnership ended last year, they reverted back to the Lions.

    Harmes impressed me in a few of his games earlier in the season before he punctured his lung. The week before he was injured he picked up around 30 possessions and I had him marked down as a possible rookie elevation later in the season. I think he's ahead of Jayden Hunt who will need a lot more development time.

    Harmes, I think could possibly play AFL next year.

    Saw Harmes a few times last year for Country and the Stingray's. Had hoped we'd get him in the third round, so was rapt that we got him in the rookie draft. Courageous and generally makes good decisions.

    WJ, you must have missed Visy last week, in the mud where I thought Hunt would just got knocked out of the way because of his slight build, he actually picked up and took a big step forward, Brett Allison also agreed, that being said at training you can see why we rookied Harmes, hopefully he can pick it up again after a week off

    Also put this in a couple of threads, Clisby left training yesterday with what looked like tightness in his lower back/glutes/top of thighs, asked him and he said he was fine, but obviously isn't

    Casey 4.6.30 to Coberg 2.0.12. Evans and Kent best for Casey. Casey kicked with a strong breeze that quarter.

    Casey 7.9.51 v Coburg 6.2.38. McKenzie, Tapscott, Evans, Michie, Nicho all good. Blease lots of the ball but few if any contested possessions. Most MFC players in the game and contributing.

    • 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.
