Wondering if our main training session is today as we usually have it 3 days before a match with a light run the day before the game.

Anyone know if training is on today?

    Rightio. 

    Cripps has been playing with a sore back which every club has known about since round 1. Haven't seen anyone target his back. 

    Jack Viney's foot? 

    Not sure your view adds up. 

    It’s as old as the hills, targeting someone’s Achilles heel, if you will. No matter the body part, dirty opposition players will find a way.

    Isn't it usually 2 days prior? Meaning that it will be on tomorrow?

    We don’t know it’s a groin. We actually don’t know anything.

    We also don’t know what Oliver is likely carrying, what Gawn is clearly carrying, how Goodwin’s mental health is, and where Burgo is with his decision for next year.

    You should write the club a strongly worded letter requesting a status update, and be sure to let us know what you learn.

    Dare I say that the club isn’t keeping the supporters in the dark.

    Instead they aren’t letting every opposition club know what’s wrong with one of our most important players, and therefore how to target him.

    And target him, they will!

    Consider it operational security. Why divulge information the oppo can plan around? It's not hard to understand, surely.

    Don't think he was injured, just ran out of peroxide and refused to go on deck without his highlights.

    Not trying to be funny, asking a serious medical question: what actually goes wrong with a groin? And how does it get fixed?

    There may be 100 reasons why they don't want others to know about a players injury.

    Let them do their job.

    Exactly. We will find out in due course whether or not he's available and if not, how long he's out for. I don't see why it's pressingly urgent for the entire membership to know the gory details of his injury, on a Tuesday afternoon.

    I usually just give it a bit of a rub and it's fine after that

    Targeting a groin would be a new level of low.

    Viney still 2-3 weeks. I think the person who suggested he's had a setback is correct.

    Bad news if true. Our midfield has dropped off big time since he went down injured. Over the past month statistically we’ve gone from a clear top 2 team to a middling team grinding out wins (and a loss) against weak opposition.

    Viney adds defensive pressure, ball winning ability, and a vocal leader to organize around the ground. His absence is being felt more than it’s being spoken about.

    • 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.
