Will be interesting to see who takes Lever's spot. The Bear is a cert considering his form in the twos and Smith being dropped but Lever's replacement considering the ins listed last night is a little more unclear.

If anyone can give us any insights from training that night clear this up then it would be appreciated.

    I hope they avoid debuting Petty this week. From the reports it sounded like he had a poor week last week, and I rather a young guy coming in to be playing well. We might be flying but can't flirt with form against an in-form Collingwood

    Ben Guthrie reporting Pedersen, J Smith, Stretch and Garlett are training with the AFL squad.

    Hannan has strapping on his knee and is on light duties with Gus. Some rumours circulating Gus is carrying a sore calf.

    Was still a great crowd considering the weather. Sausage sizzle and hot coffee easily best afield in these conditions

    - Cam Pederson looked in ripping touch. Beat TMac at least three times in some one on one drills. Looks a lock for Monday.

    - Joel Smith did some nice things although disposal was a tad ordinary at times. Don't mind the coaching group backing him in for the Lever role as I think he has more upside than Frost.

    - Mitch Hannan had his knee strapped and rotated between rehab and the main group. Didn't seemed too restricted by his injury. Obviously, expect Jeff Garlett to get the call up should he not feel 100% for QB. Speaking of Jeffy, seemed to be doing most things right aside from a bullet pass that landed directly in the hands of the opposition player (Charlie Spargo) during some match simulation. Sort of sums up Jeff's season so far

    - Kent looks very close to rejoining full training. Participated in a couple drills with the main group.

    - Jetta was Jetta. Good lord, he is a marvel to watch in one on one drills. Never gets beaten, even when he was matched up against the likes of Hogan and McDonald. Always broke even at the bare minimum.

    Happy to fill in any blanks if anyone has any questions.

    Did Brayshaw join the main group today? Some talk he was on light duties.

    I believe Gus was in rehab when I arrived. Was participating in main group drills by the time I left. Don't remember him being too hindered by anything.

    I saw the photo before I saw who posted it, I knew it was you ET. My kind of humour, well played sir.

    You are one quirky dude, but I guess you are from the Wild West. 

    Inbreeding or just humans and creatures living alongside one another in perfect harmony?

    Training Friday
    A morning to harden the team with cold wind and light rain.
    The Casey team weren't there. 
    An extenened rehab with the light duty group. Mitch Hannan, Angus Brayshaw, Tim Smith, Jake  Melksham, Dean Kent and Corey Maynard. I didn't notice if Melksham or Tim Smith joined the main group. The rest did except for Corey who was increasing his work load.
    Simulations played with the slippery ball. Spread was good. Cam Pederson was hitting up well. Joel Smith was round about. Tom Mcdonald looking in shape. Jesse Hogan big and strong around the field. Max Gawn zoning and chasing everyone. 
    Some individual goal practice with Bernie Vince, Nathan Jones, Jesse Hogan and Michael Hibberd who joined in later. 
    Harrison Petty and Jayden Hunt not on the field. Jeff Garlett doing his stuff.
    Petracca and Jesse last to leave field after shots at goal.

    Wonder why Petty and Hunt weren't there considering they've both been named?

    Possibly with the Casey team

    If that's true, not doubting you, then it would seem that neither would be playing on QB. 

    Probably emergencies and Monday still away off

    By the end it was freezing but glad of the hot coffee. Really impressed with Oscar who really has some speed. The guys really looked like they were having fun out there.

    Oscar Baker or McDonald?

    • 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.
