    Viney in full training. Looked a million bucks! Barely a rehab group - Jones, Jetta, Tyson and Balic on light duties. All moved well. VDB only notable absentee.

    Great, but I really feel for Vanders. He can be a great player with plenty of 'drive' for the footy.

    A no show

    37 training full session, 4 on light duties and 3 missing, depth in abundance

    Although Nibbler may have tweaked something

    Sigh. A week of talking him up and now he is broken. Us MFC supporters have a preternatural ability like that.

    Am I doing it right?

    7 news talking injuries to Lewis and Jones...Jones with sore back. Any update on Nibbles 'tweak'

    Jonesy was running and kicking in rehab, so can't be that bad, Nibbler pulled out of main session and did some rehab

    As explained before, slightest niggle they have to report

    And as somebody elses stated Viney looks cherry ripe to go

    And presumably throw them into rehab - whilst i understand that when 4 points are on the line you send a player into a game with a niggle or underdone but no club would be risking players on the training track or a practice game if they had the slightest niggle. Makes no sense to do so.

    I think the point that Saty has been making is that under previous coaches (meaning pre-Roos), players did not disclose when they had any niggles so kept training to their own, and the team's, potential longer-term detriment.

    sometimes the players aren't the sharpest tools in the shed but i guess they do get nervous with competition for spots.

    The sports scientists and fitness guys are very good at the Club, they continually watch the players, especially those returning from injury

    I"ve also asked, if you 'hide' something and you are subsequently found out, it's botty smacking from a great height

    Out of interest how do you smack a botty from a great height (there's a phrase i would never thought i'd ever be writing - probably best not to google it, at least at work)? With long arms?

    Anyone know if Bullen was in full training or in rehab?

    Saty said he may have tweaked something on Wednesday.

    Mr Double Hyphen, if anyone should know about hyphenated names I would think it would be you. It is Neal-Bullen

    • 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.
