Big week for the Melbourne FC and Casey Scorpions alignment.  It matters for the development of the youngsters and recognition for those who has supported the club.

Big challenge though as the BULLDOGS SMASHED COLLINGWOOD BY 117 POINTS.   Bulldogs have a FULL LIST and no need for eligibility to apply (will play 18 AFL full listed players).

Demons need to support Casey and pick the best team possible.  Question mark over Salem who could have been critical against the Dogs.

    I think Hulett will also come back in.

    I think one of Scott, Morris or Munro will miss out.

    I think Ferreira will stay in for his pace and x factor.

    Salem will miss. 

    Ferreira will play. Not sure why Redleg mentions him in the potential changes?

    Jeez Salem's having some bad luck, thyroid issues, hammy issues, helps Casey get the GF only to be concussed in the prelim and would have to be in doubt for the Granny. 

    There doesn't appear to be any doubt that we're getting behind Casey in the finals which is great to see. I don't know what the BOG medal for the VFL grand final is but I reckon Clarry would be a massive chance at it. Finals were made for guys like him.

    I didn't see the game, but when I looked at this last week, Scott had been in the seniors all year where Morris and Munro had been in and out. Might give some idea on possible pecking order.

    Scott really struggled to get a touch against the seagulls.  Rarely sighted until late in the game.  But has positive form before this game, so who knows?  Salem will be a big loss.  Hulett would come in, and Terls, I would think.

    good luck to Casey.

    Wouldn't Grimes also come in?

    Yeah, Grimes, Terlich and Hulett will all be back in, and all big In's at that. It'll really hurt not having Salem, but will still be a very strong side.

    Salem might just get up. Who knows. Great to see the Dee's supporting Casey this year in the finals. 

    Invaluable experience for our younger blokes

    Coach has already ruled him out.

    18 listed players? That'll be a tough ask, but if the Scorps get up it'll be huge. Can't wait to watch it!

    18 AFL listed Dogs? No way.  

    The Dogs have 44 on their list.

    23 go to Sydney and maybe 1 comes back to play on Sunday = 22 available

    They've got 7 injured http://www.afl.com.au/injury-list = 15 available

    Crameri won't play and Goetz didn't play in the PF = 13 maximum including Hamilton and Lynch who have never played AFL.

    They may not risk them all on a 6 day turnaround if they win in Sydney but have some injury concerns.

    We should have at least as many, we had 14 in the PF, all with AFL experience.

    Also no way the dogs will have 18 listed players given their injuries, and they will be taking a large squad up for the AFL Prelim.

    Footscray won by 119 not 117

    That was Salem's 2nd concussion for the year, so there is very little chance he will play next week

    Hulett will be another In, as well as Grimes and Terlich

    Finally, Casey beat Footscray by 70 points just 2 weeks ago.

    You should check you're stuff before you post dude.

    If someone doesn't mind answering a stupid question from an interstater, what is the relevance of the Peter Jackson VFL naming? Is it a company/sponsor or an old VFL stalwart etc?

    Your first guess is correct, they are the major sponsor of the VFL

    I hadn't heard of them as a clothing company and assumed the Tobacco advertising laws still applied.

    Thanks for the info.

    • 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.
