Howes injures himself late in the game - looks like an ankle. Handpass to Tomlinson who gets caught and gives away the free and a goal. Junk time Casey 33 points ahead.

    Sadly Howes looks to have copped a bad injury. Can’t tell if it’s a knee hyperextension  or a twisted ankles. Looked higher up the leg to me

    Looked a hip flexor thing to me. Strange outwards twist of the whole leg.

    Quite possibly. It was a weird looking one. Was in a fair bit of discomfort

    Commentators talking about the kids behind the goal.

    It used to be a regular occurrence at the MCG, city end before the upgrades. A big standing area was a great place for the kids in the 1970's.

    Pity about Howes - looks to be a player, clean and composed.

    Was JVR on in the last quarter- didn’t see him

    Considering it’s a short turnaround to a Friday night game for the AFL maybe didn’t play the last?

    I can't remember seeing him either.

    Maybe because of a quick turnaround (MFC friday night game), they rested him, just in case he is needed.

    Though wasn't at his best, and I reckon could do with some more time at VFL level.

    Doing a lot of playing from behind.

    I spoke to Jake Melksham and congratulated him on his 100th game with Melbourne.I said the club didn’t acknowledge it on their website.Jake said they probably didn’t know.If this is the case l believe it is appalling.

    Another Casey conundrum

    A good win but few stand outs.

    Liked Verral... he was well beaten but maybe there's something there

    Laurie and Chandler were disappointing

    JVR.. just okay

    Schache... maybe but is he just too good for VFl but.....

    Tomlinson ??

    Campbell for Sandy was the stand out player

    Looked very much like hip to me. I’ve done that injury and it was incredibly painful. Much worse than broken arms etc.

    Schache has a few things we need. He is a very good set shot for goal. He is competitive in forward ruck work. He has good foot speed and athleticism for his height. Yes, he is not robust, but he only needs five possessions inside 50 to be 'the missing link', given the loss of Fritta.

    Tomlinson playing says to me that they expect Petty to be fine for Friday. 

    Does it really fit that because Petty might be in doubt his potential replacement wouldn’t play at all today?  Then if he pulls up ok Tommo would miss a full match play.

    Are you also describing the Weed?

    We know how that story goes.

    Howes ooked like a medial knee injury to me but no certainty.

    Jefferson took two great contested pack marks and flew well for others. Once he gets some bulk he'll be very good.

    Verrall was very promising too, rucked against Tom Campbell which was tough, but really followed up well for clearances and tackles.

    I really like the look of Howes. The only thing working against him is we have a balanced defence and an over abundance of running skilful half backs. It’s a good problem to have.

    I reckon at 90% of other teams Howes would have had a crack at AFL level by now.

    He started as a winger at Casey before being pushed out to HB.  Might get a chance for us here at some point. 

    Maybe not this season though bar injuries.

    Nothing substantial... just a double cramp higher up that buggered him late in proceedings.

    • 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.
