Although it's unlikely there is still an outside chance of us cocking this one up. Unless there are serious question marks (Hibberd eg grabbed his hammy) we should field our best side and try to get as much momentum for September.

Spargo would be the only one I'd drop but I don't know who comes in as no one really did much at Casey.

    ah.  of course... Spargo

    But will we.  He's a little terrier...  our youngest player.

    Do we have anyone left who can replace ANB?

    His fumbles destroy us.

    He's had a very poor last 3-4 weeks after having an excellent year. He's not going anywhere.

    Resting players?? You want a final in Sydney? 

    We have a bye anyway

    No, he's getting to contests other won't.

     

    He will improve, as we get better.

    I shudder to think what he and Tyson will be like in finals pressure.

    Tyson gets absolutely no respect. I was a former Tyson hater too but he's very handy.

    No change. If anyone goes out it could be Weidemann for Garlett or someone else with some pace. You need heaps of it on the G, and you need even more against GWS.

    AVB will be a fine at worst- careless and very low impact.

    No resting players unless there’s a niggle that could be made worse by playing.

    Next week is another must win for mine in order to maintain winning form and better our chances of a home final.

    In addition, we have a bye the following week, so anyone who misses next week, would essentially be out for two.

    Spargo is looking tired and not physically strong enough for the contest ahead.  But who are the options for next week. Corey Wagner was Casey’s best but he is not MFC listed.  No real alternatives in my opinion 

    no change until Viney ready week 1 of finals

    Could we play Corey anyway and if they ask just tell them he is Josh.

    Outside of Hibberd with his hammy and Spargo potentially needing a rest, you would think we wouldn't make any further changes outside of that.  We would want stability in the side heading into finals, and the players get a week off to rest up as well which will only help a few of those who need a rest.

    So unless Hibberd doesn't get up I'd expect no change.

    The Eagles don't have a wingman with Gaff out so we Tyson was very effective. He's still far too slow off the mark and shaky with the ball to be anything more than 20th+ player in a top 4 side but he deserves credit for some improvement in the last month, always working hard to get the ball and having strong hands in the contest. I worry about him against the Giants, and sides like the Tigers but I credit him for giving it his best.

    • 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.
