    Of interest (to me, anyway):

    -  Ben Brown named so fit to play, but not selected in the Melbourne team

    -  Kyah Farris-White selected to play against men after running around in the under 18 comp.

    -  Woey back but no sign of Turner (K.) or Smith (J.)

    -  Jimmy Munro still injured

    Which is the Smith in the right back pocket?

    Might be looking to get a fair chunk of real game time into him and see how his back pulls up for the following week?

    Get a bit of touch/form as well before returning.

    Pretty sure the FD will want him back in ASAP subject to fitness / reasonable form.

    No.1 for goal averages so far

    No. 6 for score involvements &

    No. 3 for inside 50 ground ball gets (a smidgen behind Clarry & Tracc who are equal 1st)

    I can't believe Brown is in the 2's should be in the seniors.

    Yep...the only reason i can think of is they want to see how his back holds up in real match conditions as there's still a slim question mark

    Otherwise he should be straight in.

    This might be partly Goody though as if you recall his pressors he keeps mentioning "zero risk" on player fitness.

    Surely if he can play Casey he can play seniors?

    Is there a point when you become so  risk averse however, that it ends up biting you in the behind and costing the team instead?

    Strong team but will get a lot better…Ferris- White on interchange will be a worthwhile watch along with Jefferson, also on interchange.Hopefully Harmes has another good game.. Dunstan seems to be sub

    This could rival 186, a shellacking is in order

    I think it's more management.

    If he plays Monday night then he only has a 5 day break especially coming back from a back injury.

    I think they also want to see whether his body can hold up after a match.

    So is poor Joel injured again / still injured?

    Guessing that no.62 is Cooper Simpson, the young Stingrays mid that trained with us as part of the Academy program.

    Keen to see how he goes, looks a good prospect in that 15-20 range at this stage.

    Edit: Just saw the '23 draft prospects page which confirms all of the above via a Cal Twomey tweet from 4 hours ago!

    That forward line is too good for me not to go and attend in person. 

    I'll be there, looking forward to seeing how KFW goes in the ruck.

    Ross and Dow are the only Richmond players with senior experience and Bauer, Banks and Green the only other listed players vs 9 and 8 in those categories for Casey.

    “Talented draft prospect Cooper Simpson will play for Casey Demons' VFL side on Sunday. The midfielder won the Dandenong Stingrays' best and fairest last year as a bottom-ager and featured for the AFL Academy last week. 

    Zane Duursma set to play for Casey next week at VFL level.”

    The three players coming back into the Melbourne team from injuries this week (Gawn, Hibberd and Lever) are all mature age players. The selectors might have wanted to maintain a balance of youth and experience especially given that sometimes the older players take time getting back to top form.

    AFL website doing a bang-up job as usual. At 1.25pm on 23 April it says on the Casey/Richmond Team Line-Ups page that it was last updated at 2.06pm on 23 April.

    (It also says no late changes)

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
