44 can play, whoever he is. 

I believe 44 is Luca Goonan - ex Mt Eliza player.  Was on Casey's list for last year but obviously didn't play.  

Nephew of a family friend.

    Haha I am not bald and there was no ill-intent in my comments, intended in affection only. Apologies if taken that way. 

    No reasonable thinking person would have taken offence TJ6

    Jake Bowey can play footy - has very good balance, good side step and dare I say it you could argue is already the best kick on the list 

    Bailey Laurie seems a natural footballer - he has very good hands and awareness in traffic - I still have a slight question mark on speed but overall quite promising

    Fraser Rosman I think has potential but may take a bit more time than others hoped

    Not much depth.

    Bowey impressive the rest just went. Brown terrible.

    Confirmed that physios were looking at Nietschke's knee. 

    I hope that isn't serious - he has had such a terrible run and deserves to have some luck

    This thread may be running hot like the Tigs B team, but the the Dees Z team performance is as about as cold as Ice Station Zebra.

    Warming up ever so slightly. Nice pair Toby Bedford!

    Bowey, Laurie and Petty were clearly the 3 best for me out everyone.

    Harrison Petty has a strong case next week against the doggies as Tomlinson was poor today. On today's effort I'd have him round 1 against freo over Tomlinson 

    Would not hurt giving Bowey a run next week against the doggies. He seriously looked a class above everyone who just butchered the [censored] out of it.

    I think Bowie has gone ahead of Lockhart for a spot as a small defender 

    Agreed on that performance can now see why Lockart was dropped last season way too many turnover balls or 50/50s at best.

    The team looked poor, hopefully there are some VFL reinforcements coming in to top that side up, otherwise it could be a long year.

    On a positive note, the young draftees looked good, Bowey and Laurie more than Rosman. And Petty played well, and will be required in the seniors sooner rather than later imo.

    Very dysfunctional forward set up which is due to the fact that 4 of our first choice forwards are all out injured/on leave.

    Richmond are a well drilled club/team.

    Hope that Nieta is ok

    Bowey, Petty, and Laurie all looked like AFL level to me. Bedford looked good in a couple of brief cameos when he turned the speed on, but like the rest of them, he didn't look at the level required for a promotion yet. hope Neitschke is ok, fingers crossed.

    Early days, and the opposition was VFL level, but it's easy to see why we took Bowey and Laurie in the first round.  Both are 'natural' footballers and have the class we are crying out for.

    Petty should be a 'lock' against the Dogs next weekend.

    Beyond these three, not too much to get excited about from the B game.

    Rosman showed glimpses of potential, but is not a 'natural', and will take time.

    That's a shame. Sounds like he isn't the answer to fill in for BBB/Weid.

    Brayshaw, Viney, B Brown, Weid, Melksham, Kossie, Hibberd, Lockhart, Hore and Joel Smith if he was not playing, add a bit of depth.

    I think McDonald and Jackson will account for themselves quite well. It will be exciting to see Pickett, Chandler and Spargo in the 1 team.

    The rest are injured or in Kossie's case unavailable.

    AVB not out there also.

    • 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.
