Interesting Hunt comes in. We have 8 defenders, unless Gus or Riv move in to the midfield rotation

    Brayshaw getting those midfield minutes he has wanted... ;-)

    I suppose take it with a grain of salt, but Salem named on the half forward flank is interesting. A good team selected for a day of 10-20mm rain earlier in the day. You'd think Chandler would get the sub.

    Hoping Chandler gets the Med Sub position, just hope we don't get to use him

    Maybe we could do a phantom Bulldog injury and get Chandler on in the 4th Quarter

    Goody tends to not bother too much with positions on the team announcement, so wouldn't think it would happen.

    Explains a few of Harmes' decisions last week

    Does this mean we finally see Gus back in the guts :O

    Hopefully Weed can play 4 quarters this time, really needs to play a big one without a 2nd big forward.

    Yes Gus either on the wing or include in the midfield/Centre rotations

    Yeah, he had rigor mortis on Jamarra in the last quarter.

    Well, Petty did actually.

    JVR an emergency. Getting closer now.

    Chandler could well be the sub, which I don't think is a very good option. A small forward offers very little if a tall, defender or mid go down. Given we already have Spargo, ANB, Pickett and Melksham in the starting 22, unless he's subbed on for one of them we just get so out of what. At the very least, Dunstan as a midfielder can slot into the middle and push, say, Petracca forward (if the injured player is a forward) or Brayshaw/Hunt back (assuming one of them is playing midfield).

    Harmes’ concussion was broken by Demonland was it not? This place is the sauce.

    Iirc @Lord Nev shared the info. 👍🏽

    I wouldn't be surprised if Chandler comes in for JJ.

    8 defenders is interesting.  Gus unlikely to move off HB

    Is Hunt a chance a play fwd? or even Petty?  Taberner and Lobb could be handled with Petty maybe

    As an aside, this is Fremantle's first home game against us since 2015.

    Which is utterly ridiculous.

    I wonder whether there is any other match up in the competition where a side hasn't had a home game against another side in 7 years.

    Surprised Banfield was dropped by Freo. Always seems to bob up and kick important goals.

    • 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.
