    Will be a tough game, good to have stability.

    English stays in, Bruce brought back, Johannisen too.

    If Preuss can hold his own against Grundy last week, then I'll back him in to do the same against English.

    Bruce doesn't worry me at all, although he has that 'Kent Kinglsey' vibe about him.

    Johannisen will give them some dash, so he is the pick of their 'ins'.

    Love the fact we made no change and I think, on paper, that we should be knocking them off by 3-4 goals.

    Good selection. Looking at the emergencies, it shows me that we have a very fit list at the moment with a lot of depth. Any of those four could have been slotted in and there would be little argument.

    Crozier is also a pretty good in for them.

    That’s fine, good to test ourselves against a full strength side. To borrow a modern footy term - football audit.

    Doggies close to full strength, looking pretty solid across all lines.

    A credit to the club to have the list in such great shape after 3 months off and then all the short turnarounds 

    most teams making 3+ changes

    TMac is a little lucky ... hope he hits the game hard and successfully.

    The Dogs team is strong enough. Good midfield   Solid down back

    not that confident for this one

    What was the question mark on English? Any way we can exploit it?

    I felt that Preuss held his own against Grundy (with Grundy clearly the classier player) so hopefully that may give him some confidence going into this match. 

    Settled teams are usually good teams, happy to take the same group from the Pies game. I feel like we win this week finals are well and truly in sight, and we can push further up the ladder. A loss and we’re back to the pack again, back to fighting.

    I thought he was starting to gain a little confidence over the last couple of weeks, he’s getting to more contests and bringing it to ground he just isn’t clunking marks. His hands just don’t seem to being coming up in a confident way, it’s more like he’s swatting. 

    But through his contested work we got a few goals last week, steps ahead.

    Bruce in worries me.. he kicked 4 last year when he played us and ragdolled Omac.. how will Lever go one on one.

    That's some handy ins for them. Crozier and Johannison are good inclusions also.

    Unfortunately not as confident.

    I love it!  Both teams at near full strength.  Should be a good contest and go some way towards sorting the real contenders from the pretenders.  I think we are the former!

    English likes to drift fwd to create a miss match , something to keep an eye on

    The main area exposed last week v Grundy was the pies ease at getting it out of the centre clearance, if Preuss can halve that this week we should be fine

    • 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.
