Anyone available comes in in the backline. Hopefully Lever, desperately need to get things a bit more organised down there, but suspect it'll be another week from comments on the footy show. Thursday will come around quickly.

    Brown won't come in, he's only out of quarantine on Thursday, and will have had a week without full training. Could be wrong, but I'd be surprised.

    I'll drop him off an exercise bike if that's what it takes

    Bring in the other Brown then.

    McDonald has not played a decent game since the Port Adelaide game last year.

    Can't continue to carry a bloke that's had zero influence.

    So? He can train at home. He can fly in the morning for a night game. 
    Zero chance he won’t play if he’s allowed to. Ben Brown after a week of iso is still better than Tom McDonald.

     

    In: Brown 

    Out: McDonald

    Goody won't make too many changes

    Lever for Hunt and if BB ready to play he should come in for TMac. Can't drop the Weid after 4 goals

    Greatest change we need for next week is an attitude adjustment.

    Apologies to Clarry and Gus, tremendous games.

    If Ben Brown not available, both TMac and and Weid stay in. TMac has had a really poor year so far and needs time at Casey, but he stays in until Ben Brown available. Mitch Brown will get seriously exposed at AFl level - he is injury cover now.

    AS I am typing, just now in the media conference, Goody just said both Brown and Lever are likely available for next week. 

    I actually think one of Spargo or Kozzie need a break - both have been ineffective for most of this year, but unlikely to happen.

    OUT: TMac, Smith

    IN: B Brown, Lever

    Brown straight back. Weid holds TMac out. TMac either goes back or dropped. 

    Lever back. Hunt out I think. 

    We can’t get the four missing defenders back quick enough.

    Thought Smith was solid tonight. He won’t miss next week.

    He won’t be dropped and nor should he but he wasn’t great tonight and our biggest problem right now is mistakes in our back half, which he, Hunt and Tomlinson are largely responsible for.

    We played a tough game in really hard conditions 6 days ago and have most of our backline out, the players deserve a bit more credit 

    We won by 5 goals

    He had a double pressure smother that then went down the other end when the game was there to be grabbed. 

    He is not missing, mate, you’re not looking at the right things.

    Goodwin just said Lever and Brown to play next week.

    IF that is the case BBB for TMCD and Lever for Hunt or maybe Tommo?  Smith?  

    It will be Brown for TMac and Lever for Tomlinson. Kozzie must be on thin ice if Bedford has a quality game tomorrow but playing Thursday night will limit the likelihood of changes for those who play today. For those saying Brown wont play that would go against Goody saying he would be available in the press conference.

    • 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.
