Looking forward to seeing McVee and Laurie in their debut games tomorrow night. Not enough positivity around this for my liking.

    $161 for 3 people to have a reserved seat at the footy is nuts. We’ve all be fooled

    That is for sure! Who are these rancid, isolated opportunists?

    And lastly, I bet that when Bowey debuted you thought "who and why", and he turned out to be a gun and best 22 players.

    I remember getting into an argument with a poster here (can't remember who) that slammed Boweys selection. They more or less wrote him off from the start of the year because of his build stating he would get destroyed in finals. Was one of the more odd interactions I've had on here.

    I've been watching our round 23 game from last season.  The one where we were up by 66 points at half time against the Lions and playing some great footy.  If we play anywhere near that level, the Bulldogs don't stand a chance.

    Assuming Melksham who trained with the main squad at training today is the sub, the team changes from that night to tomorrow night are:-

    OUT: Hibberd, May, Hunt, Jackson, Viney, Fritsch, Jordon (came on as medi-sub for Jackson)

    IN: McVee, Tomlinson, Hunter, Grundy, Laurie, McDonald, Chandler

    I'm not going to try and mount a case either way as to which night was the better line-up because as far as I see it, it's really quite close.

    The outs are better than the ins. 

    We lose our premier defender and our premier forward.

    There are some terrific ins in Hunter, Grundy and T Mac, but I just feel the loss of May and Fritta tip the scales to last year's round 23 squad. We saw how we functioned without May in the Sydney, Collingwood (and most of Freo) losses and it wasn't great.

    Must be predicting a crowd of sub 30,000 if they're closing the top of the Ponsford.

    If they opened it up for the Melb V Freo game last year where just a couple of blokes and a dog sat up there, then surely it's opened for this one. 

    As if the top of the Ponsford is closed for Round 1? Just seems really odd.

    There was one game last year - either GWS or Freo - where they opened it by mistake and went around kicking people out at quarter time.

    Yeah layz,  it states it on the MCG website when I last checked…baffling.

    A lot of negativity with regard to the Tomlinson selection but we will not know how good or bad the selection is until the game is played. We could see Tmac and Tomlinson swapping ends if the game is going against us.  

    Will be watching a replay during a stop over in KSA.

    Go read the comments. They’re not far off. Pretty good. 

    Would have gone Turner myself but i back the FD to make the right decision.

    And best of luck Tommo. He deserves a bit more love around here given he was in AA form until he was injured in 21. And missed out on a premiership because of it.

    How could sportsbet have us as favourites?

    Bulldogs must be a huge chance now that May is also out.

    There will be alot of money going on the dogs today before the odds even up.

    I hope they know something we dont.

    Who actually cares what those parasitic blights say about us?

    • 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.
