For Nick Riewoldt to say that he would rather line up on May or Lever, over Frost...confirmed everything for me.

Lever would be closer to havingĀ the enduranceĀ to run with him though, Riewoldt would have blown Frosty up in half a quarter by charging up and down the field

    The bigger surprise to me is that we've moved Petty forward (apparently once he's fit) and bought in Mitch Brown for key forward depth but we haven't added any key defensive depth.

    It's May, Oscar, Lever and then more third tall options in Smith and Hore. That might be enough for this year but who's up next if Oscar doesn't improve and guys continue to get injuries?

    State league key defenders have a decent success rate, I would've liked to add one for some depth and competition. We've still got the Nietschke spot open and I'd be looking for a young developing tall to put some time in to.

    Technically true but we get fit Lever, Nev and hopefully May in the side from the start of the season. A very different scenario to last year.

    If May continues his injury prone stint with us, we get the 2019Ā version of O Mac and Lever doesn't become the star we were expecting.

    And if your aunty had wheels, she'd be a bicycle.Ā  Stop jumping at shadows and "what ifs".

    That's what I'm hoping for but there's no future planning right now. For some reason we keep the Wagner's on the list who no one wants to be in the team unless we have a dozen injuries but we aren't putting development time in to a young key defender who could replace Oscar in a couple of years.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourneā€™s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle.Ā As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nationā€™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.Ā

    • 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.
