Pederson hit high, tripped, got rid of the ball, pinged holding the ball.  Worst umpiring decision I've seen in a very long time.

Copped three bad ones in the last quarter. Terrible umpiring.

    Without Frost and Vince we would have been beaten badly. Great effort from both.

    Keilty impressive down back, showed plenty of composure. 

    Tim Smith worked hard all day, great game from him. 

    Baker, Vince good also. 

    Jeffy, better...

    Loved the Bernie interview post match. However long it takes, he will be banging the door down to get back in the team. He’s not giving up just yet.

    Baker has the worst haircut in the VFL

    His girlfriend may be his hairdresser. She appears to be wearing a Pies scarf in the Instagram pic.

    Really liked the games of Baker, Stretch, Vince, Smith and Kielty.  Lots at the next level, Frost good amongst them.  DJ goes hard.  Not much of JKH or Bugg today.  Need more from Balic.  Garlett not on form today - not sure if it was because it didn’t go right for him, or he just didn’t go enough? Kent was way off the pace, but probably better for the run.

    Baker was terrific! Good size too. Could certainly see him on a wing in the AFL side

    Twice in the last Kent had the chance to seal the game one did not make the distance and the other was almost out on the full. Poor kicking from a senior player.

    I think Dom Tyson will be looking over his shoulder.

    Every week I watch Casey we get slaughter in the ruck the opposition get first use of the ball. King must be the worse ruckman going around in the vfl. Today is no exception. God helps if we ever to use him in the seniors.

    king has no afl attributes, young but no potential

    Nick hind from essendon is certainly worth a look in at the draft, might be a good  fit as an outside runner that we so desperately need and bog imo

    Reckon Baker and Stretch must be given a go very soon, Stretch has become a lot tougher

    Good hard fought win

     

    STRETCH - Prolific but done nothing to suggest he can take the next step

    KENT - Poor really rusty.

    FROST - Really good game.

    PEDERSEN - Serviceable game, took a few good marks.

    VINCE - Fantastic game, too good for VFL level.

    KENNEDY HARRIS - No real impact.

    BALIC - In and out of the game.

    BUGG - No real impact as well.

    BAKER - BOG must be close to AFL selection.

    KING - Still developing took a nice mark and kicked a nice goal.

    GARLETT - Poor really struggling at VFL level.

    JOHNSTONE - Done some good things developing nicely as a backman.

    T.SMITH - Started like a house on fire, but died out of the game late.

    KEILTY - Mr. Dependable the best backman on the ground.

    FILIPOVIC - No real impact.

    A bit hard on Billy methinks. Otherwise spot on. Probably Keilty’s best game.

    Can’t see Vince back unless he swaps with Lewis. Thought Keilty was excellent and Frost good, stretch first half very good but little impact on second half. Baker covers the ground well and wins the ball well but doesn’t do much with it yet. I think the rest are nothing more than back ups to our best 22.

    I watch Casey each week. Unless there are a lot of injuries Gartlett is finished. JKH was consistently beaten one on one all day. 

    On the bright side Baker gets better each week. Spoke to him at Willy and he spoke a lot of sense. 

    Also I have been harsh on Frost but the last two weeks has been very good. Dion is also improving  

    Lets hope nothing happens to Gawn because Casey ruchmen are three years away.

    Could flatten his kicks out a bit; has a tendancy to up and unders

    Second week in a row Billy has had a hard tag in the second half. I'm not sure it's something he'd have to cope with at AFL level.

    • 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.
