I think they're in the same boat as us in terms of listed players being available for this game.

Yep, just slipped over to Bomber Blitz (it's ok, I've showered since) and they sound very much like us and will be relying on a few members that are attending to give updates. I wonder if the Demon twitter feed might get a workout?

As a side note; I don't make a habit of visiting other fan sites but my clear impression is; none of them come close to the functionality and visual excellence of DL. Kudos to you Andy.

    I'd be disappointed if it didn't. Hopefully a few of the Demonland faithful will be there to fill in any gaps.

    I spoke today to an Essendon insider who feels that the Bombers will field a reasonable squad. Given that this will be their best team because they don’t have a Marsh Cup game over the weekend, they should be too strong for our second string team missing a large number of players through injury.

    That smells like you are preparing us for a big loss WJ.

    I will still go but would like to have an idea of what Melbourne players will be playing.

    Given they're not in the team or 8 man bench for the Crows game tomorrow or they're injured.

    Any of the following could play

    Bedford

    Jordon

    Rivers

    Hunt

    Hore

    Chandler

    C Wagner

    Bradtke

    Tell me, what would be a bigger worry (Not for us)? Basically a seconds Melbourne getting flogged? Or a decent Essendon side fighting a hard fought win and only winning by a couple of goals?

    Cue the usual suspects still slashing their wrists over losing the game by 8 goals when we're only fielding a small handful of AFL listed players.

    Going along with our pre season theme, have we started an hour early, before oppo arrives, and built up a big lead yet?

    We have, but so far we've kicked 10 points and 4 out on the full.

    Players are in full panic mode.

    • 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.
