Some big changes for this week’s game.

In: Harmes Jordon Melksham Woewodin 

Out: Baldi Buntine Munro Sheridan

Jimmy Munro out injured is a big loss. 

All four MFC players named as emergencies for tomorrow are named four Casey. One will be the substitute and, depending on whether he’s used and for how long, may not play on Sunday for Casey.

    With two Smiths and two Turners on our list, it wouldn't hurt to include players' intitials in the team lineup.

    My last trip to Windy Hill was in 60's. My cousins and I, plus neighbours' kids, were conveyed there in the back of my uncle's ute. But we had a blanket.

    It's changed... no ticket required..just walk in. They don't have a scoreboard so they wheel in an old fashioned yellow light board.. so small that as a visitor you have to ask where it is.

    Have seen some videos of the outdoor oval at the Hangar. Looks fine but nowhere near the memories of Windy Hill

    Loss of Munro and Buntine (and White still out). Very young Casey group.   Jordon probably will be sub so expect Baldi to play. 

    Jordon will play the game is on Saturday the reserves are on Sunday.

    Looking forward to the commentators going ape droppings every time Tippa goes anywhere near the ball.

    I don't know why they scheduled Sydney at home.

    You could have done VFL gather round this weekend in Melbourne.

    Too easy for supporters...AFL would have gone for Cloncurry.

    Essendon with both Lenny Hayes and Aaron Lord playing off their half back line.

    Playing out of position, but good to see they're both still running around after all these years.

    This is probably the first time in several seasons that Casey have gone into a game without both “heart and soul” players in Mitch White and James Munro but to offset that they have a few Demons with a lot to prove and some up and coming Casey players to make this an interesting contest.

    We have a very inexperienced backline.

    It will be a real test for them.

    We need Laurie, Turner, Schache and Jefferson and perhaps Adams ripping this game apart, oh and the coach as Goodwin needs to bed dropped after yesterday.

    Melbourne’s form yesterday opens it up for a few players looking for promotion to the Anzac Eve game.

    Rare opportunity for a small forward to strut their stuff and take Spargo’s spot, for a week at least.

    I know the theory behind TMac’s running but also think Schache as a 200cm 26 year old  has an opportunity to show how he can be a more potent second ruck as well as forward.

    • 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.
