    Why not? Give him every chance to play. He is obviously very close 

    He is the best defender in the Competition

    May will be in the coaches box again.

    Not concerned about this. Tommo was good last week and probably unlucky to be dropped.

    Happy for May to take all the time he needs to be 100%

    Grundy is the main man tonight. Lot of teams have to get used to him in the forward line.

    Thanks very much for you help mate. Only tickets we could get are top their but above you guys at least, gate 8.

     

    By red time in the last they'll all have left so I can bring kids down the bottom 😂

    Given you’re at the game, I’ve got the pork belly on for you.

    You really think that the Lions coaching dept will be in a mad panic when they see Tomlinson run out instead of May?

    Every coach will tell you that late changes have zero impact on the opposition's game plan.

    Every coach would plan for and around May. Him not playing will change their plans.

    They were never going to risk him. I thought it was laughable that they’ll let our third most important player, aged 30, only have a week off with a calf strain. 
    If we win tonight I also don’t think they’ll risk him next week. It’s a very very long season.

    Don’t agree. 

    He will play when he is ready, whether we win this week or not, whether we’re flying or struggling. 

    For one, next week he can hold Buddy goalless for a third straight match.

    I wonder if they looked back on that final to see what Brisbane did and what we did wrong.

    Also wonder if they had a look to see what port did right to thrash them last week

    Don't worry folks. Tommo is an able replacement. Our system will hold firm.

    Goody spoke of that during the week.

    I mean of course they won’t risk him if he isn’t right. But I think if we win and he is right to go they might still choose to give him one more week just to be extra extra cautious.

    Such a nice feeling knowing we’ve got Tommo as a replacement.

    The club’s depth is going to pay dividends come finals.

    When May is ready to go, he will play.

    Next week Lance is going to play..

    I’m nervous. Not going to lie. 
    Brisbane are a hell of a lot better than they showed last week. They are also a much much better team than the Dogs.

    If we are as good as we think we are, we win this in a canter.

    • 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.
