How good is that photo? 

Looks freezing. 

Speaks volumes about our culture. I’m certain attendance wasn’t compulsory, yet less than 24 hours after a bruising game they turned up on a cold wintery day.

    part of their icing down routine? or an alternative to a port melbourne beach early morning dip?

    The cold weather will do them good.

    Builds testosterone, and ups metabolic rate, and repairs.

    Keep gargling 'warm salty water' boys.

    In: B. Vince, J. Kennedy-Harris

    Out : J. Briggs, P. McKenna

    Mitch King has been left out of the side for the second week in a row, this time at the expense of an undersized ruckman in Mykelti Lefau. I think his papers might have been stamped.

    Agreed that together with Melbourne’s interest in North Melbourne’s Brayden Preuss, this suggests that both King and Filipovic are on shaky ground.

    We were tested and tried but were held on!!!! Bring on the Grand Final!!!!

    Just FYI Keilty copped a decent knock to the hip in the first that’s why he might’ve seemed underdone for the game

    Well done Casey.   We will win the Grand Final, the Demons dont lose at Etihad.

    Gee wouldn't that be something if Bernie got back into the senior team.  He was retired a few weeks ago.

    How many will DJ get for the swinging arm? 

    Great effort by the Casey boys, I watched the middle part of the game but had to go player with the kids, the umpiring was terrible. Glad to see we came over the top after the fl ogs got a little away.

    I looked at that many times SloMo. The player has started to dispose of the ball the very same time DJ was starting his hard swing-arm tackle.

    The essendon players arms were outstretched forward after flicking a handball... and I think from what I saw, it appears DJ was aiming at the collar bone chest area, and it road up the essendon players upper arms.

    Clipping him to the chin/upper chest.

     

    After studying the replays, I don't think DJ was going for the chin, but fate took it.

    Dj looked stunned, stopped, as the player went down, then moved towards the play and was attacked from behind by only one opposition player.

    He wasn't prepared for attack from behind, and was sort of in an 'innocent of mind' state.

    Another great effort Casey Demons, thanks to KC, drunken167, WJ and all other posters. It wasn't sounding to good at certain stages of the game but the boy's stood up once again, only one more win required.

     

    Go Casey.............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Go Dee's.......................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    And what support from the Dee's players.

    Nice to know we've got a couple of players still pushing for selection.

    A little part in the back of the minds of JKH and Vince and a few others will be imagining playing in two grand finals in two weeks. Would also make them the 'human interest' story pre-GF, just for a laugh.

    • 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.
