An absolute master class that included taps to players, taking the ball from the ruck, groundball follow up and of course 3 goals

Might watch the replay. Followed the game but was more involved in the Sydney game. He went the whole four quarters.

Rucked about 75% with relief from Schache who played down back and occasionally Verrall

Should be on the AFL site. Hit VFL link on there. Only the Tiger/Pie match is up at the moment.

    In TMac Grundy Hibberd

    Out. Melksham Smith Turner

    Cant ignore Grundy’s game today for Casey and he will have something to prove against the Filth. Smith doesn’t do enough IMO.

    Smith super sub, not full time gig.

    Absolutely no way Hibbo is coming back into the team lol

    Why’s that?

    Only change id make is obvious Melk for TMac. Bring TMac to CHF & make Smith our sub.

    Laurie had some really nice touches so I’d keep him in too.

    While Disco isn’t necessarily as good as Tommo yet when defending one on one, he’s a much better intercept marker so I’d keep him in.

    At the end of the day you really only want to make a change if you have too when you’re consistently winning & especially leading into finals.

    I am really wondering about the potential inclusion of Grundy. The filth have 2 rucks and one of them is a yank who will probably send his boot into Maxys back. Just a thaught.

    Why not?

    Must play two rucks against the Pies. 
    in: Grundy, TMac

    out: Smith (to sub), Melk(so unlucky!), Laurie

    He could against the smaller Pies forwardline. Elliot is a good match up

    They'll give the job to McVee and he'll do a fine job imo.

    I don’t mean to be rude but I’m really starting to question the intelligence of a couple of you wanting Grundy back in the team.

    We literally went over this after the Carlton game, Max becomes half the player he is when he has to split ruck duty with Brodie & because Brodie is one dimensional you end having to play him more ruck than Max for him to be effective.

    Could you have Grundy as the sub or is that the stupidest idea since dog goggles?

    No, we dont.

    Rivers, Salem and Bowey can all take care of these two front runners.

    Disco v Tommo will depend how much they think Cox and Cameron will play forward which brings the additional mature body tall in to play. If they don’t think that will be a consistent threat they probably stick with Disco. Hibbo as the third tall an outside choice if they think he has enough height to go with Mihocek at times and play smaller at others. But lack of match fitness now heavily against him.

    I don’t expect Bowey, Salem, Riv, McVee will change. Hibbo as a small, very unlikely for mine.

    T Mc almost has to play. Hopefully Fritsch is right. JVR. Pickett, Chandler, ANB.

    Do they keep Smith in with Fritsch and McDonald? Or use Tracc as the 4th tall, have Smith the sub and bring in another mid/small forward? Smith’s pace gives him the edge over Laurie for me given the danger of the Pies counter attack and the athleticism of their backs.

    Salem was non existent today & Bowey not much better, we need Hibberd imo, proven big game performer & our best lock down defender.

    • 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.
