    Found it more interesting that Lever wasn't named in the extended team in the 2's

    I mean the extended bench, lever named in starting line up. I/C gets named at Casey

    Excited for this now. Second week in a row where the team changes offer obvious, substantial upgrades with players returning. Obviously players like Lever will be a long way off peak, but we’re slowly building a competent looking side again.

    Decided not to make my annual pilgrimage for this match this year, because we’d been crap and I really wanted some time at home having had an insanely busy year so far, but I’m kicking myself now.

    Viney on the wing and Brayshaw back in the middle

    Must occur, and Fritta to HFF of FwdPkt. Hunt is the movable one for this to occur. I'd put Viney on the HFF to use his one-sided boot. The intent would be for him to penetrate and crumb, hopefully to the Preuss ground-balls. He has to take the initiative with pace. TMac could play a wing/flank. Hannan the swingman off the bench up forward.

    Despite all the extended bench being named at Casey there is no Oscar Mac selected at Casey. Is he injured  rather than omitted?

    Notable that Lewis is selected at half back for Casey.

    On the news tonight Lever's selection is subject to him getting through training tomorrow. If fit he plays if not he won't be at Casey

    Extended I/C, my read is

    Garlett/Spargo

    Weideman/Preuss

    Stretch/ANB

    Wagner/Hibberd

    Surely the Bold are in, unless injury concerns.

    Agree with that. Out of those pairings, think they'll go for Garlett and Stretch. In spite of his weaknesses, Garlett is at least hitting the scoreboard, and Stretch hasn't been that bad, though what position would be play?

    Main interest for me is where Fritsch plays, hopefully he can now be moved further up the field (wing/forward).

    I'd rather do that and have a hope of finishing 8th in a tough year than find out all our players suck and finishing 10th-17th (because lets be real no one's gonna out-tank Carlton).

    Oscar was always going to keep his place while May wasn't available and Petty isn't ready.

    Interesting to see that Oscar wasn't named for Casey either. Perhaps just admin, though perhaps he's been carrying something (he had that injury at the end of the GWS game for example).

    T Mac to kick 7 this week.

    Kicked 6 in the corresponding game last year. No reason he can't better that.

    7 kicks? That seems to be about right

    We have to play the best player in each position. We now have someone else for FB, so OMac no longer is the best available.  Lets hope he redefine what his best role will be - or maybe its just backup to Maysie Mouse.

    Because missing finals and getting top draft picks has worked out so consistently well for us in the past...

    A complete backline transplant. Hopefully with Lever and May, Frost can play to his strength and give us lots of run

    our defence will be rusty but its the first step to gaining some cohesion.

    Carn the Demons!

    Lever being named on the field suggests they’re expecting him to play. He definitely won’t play in the VFL in any case.

    Very hard to pick who’s in from the extended bench. I’d say Hibberd and Weideman are locks for in and Wagner is a lock for out (like for like player for Hore, obvious which player is better). After that, plenty of room to justify any of them.

    To me the question is, who else is coming Out, of the 18.   Lever is still a test,  for mine.    Any other injuries/form, or chronic soreness ???  TMc, Fritta, Tracca ?

    • 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.
