Or, at the very least, spend more time there.  Not a bad option if you ask me.

Hopefully to bring it to ground for Bedford, Kozzie, etc. His set shots are a worry.

    I love most of the ins, but dropping Brown who has been our best marking target the last 2 weeks is a bit strange.

    I think they picked Preuss to reall try and stretch the Oppo by having he and Gawn rotate deep.

    Brown was horrible against the swans

    We blew our chances against sydney so how many changes are irrelevent. Good to see some pace but why is ANB playing along with Smith. Why is lockhart still out ? Same with Bennell.

    Absolutely love these changes but can't help thinking it may be a week to late. Still I have wanted to see some real pace in our side and finally it has been delivered. Now boy's don't let this opportunity slip, get out there and run them off their feet.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    His intensity is a worry but he seems to be the only one who can hit a target in the fwd line

    What’s the go with Dunkley? He’s not mentioned in the injury report or the scratch matches.

    Bennell is really on the outer.

    Why, we were lucky to get any games out him of this year,  they need to get him right for the long term.

    Appears that way plus Smith must his fav also. Those 2 should have been dropped also along with Fritter and ANB very lucky. It is basically our last chance so just hope this team gets going and wins well and then see what happens against GWS

    Still the worst forward line in the AFL. Re-arranging the deckchairs on the Titanic. Hope I'm wrong.

    Maybe Max will kick a couple, although he'll need about six shots. Which might be what I'll need if we lose again.

    The changes finally will bring some outside dash. I dont mind trialling the two rucks when we dont have another key forward nailing the second spot. At minimum it will remove the focus of double teaming Weid. Melksham surely on notice. I assume he will play midfield time with AVB to cover the loss of Brayshaw in particular.

    Best of luck to Baker and Bedford who I think can give more of what we need with a clear go at it.

    Who even keeps track of what day it is?

    Finally a team with a bit of run. No pressure lads, but there is no time to adjust or build form, just need to hit the ground running.

    • 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.
