You won’t be able to attend anyways, 31. It’s now a closed event meaning no spectators. ☹️

I thought that was in reference to the VFL game, not the AFL one?

That is for the VFL side, not the senior AFL side.

Ripper, WCW, I'm in Adelaide now, so I cannot miss this one - let's hope the game quietens those amongst us on DL who have early-season jitters, doubts and criticisms. I reckon we will knock a nervous Carlton into no-man's land.

I fully agree, Deemania!!! We’ll shut the naysayers up… until next week, anyways. 😅

GO THE MIGHTY DEES ❤️💙

Now you’ll just have to settle for seeing one of your Blues teams get smashed instead of both 🤭

Err That was my point TBC!!!!V There is no clear info on injuries missing players or time frames

No wonder there is speculation around here 

Not well done MFC Media

I am sick and tired of D/Lers blaming the MFC media ad nauseam. 

Some here had tasteless potshots over the last day. If they had looked at the Training schedule released today was the return after a break. So if no news exists no news is given especially no Club updates. 

On another level some D/Lers on here seem to reckon that they are privileged and entitled to extra news, inclusion,etc from the Club. As if for having the privilege to vent their feelings and opinions in this forum it gives the opportunity for extra Club to shower them with exclusive content etc. Others are “I have given $xxx and ….you know the lines. 

We are all passionate fans and of course are different but this forum is really for getting some things off your chests and also sharing in the highlights of our footy and gloating occasionally or being frustrated or angry on others. It provides a great opportunity but we are not owed any more than the other fans that choose to be more private. 

BTW Kent still don’t see the point in publishing a list of TBC, it served not one persons information in the least.  May as well put the iconic 4-6 weeks if you thought it funny or sending a message!

I wonder how they’ll enforce it if the VFL game is after the AFL game? You’d have to imagine that they’ll have a hard time clearing the place out before the VFL game starts.

Guessing Salem will be getting some midfield minutes tomorrow night.

Hopefully he goes well given there's an opening now.

Midfield minutes will be a plus for him to expose his wares in a newer role; however, his role and chartered history is to play a dynamic 'midfielders function' in the backline to the rest of the field before him and in so doing, exposing pathways for others to creatively exploit in the passing of the ball to (and through) goal(s). Hope he is fit and unencumbered with illness/injury and if so, should have a rip-snorter game ahead of him and into the season. He certainly has the class to achieve once again this season.

Hehe, not too bothered by results in pre-season games, just hoping both teams have a good workout but with no injuries.


FB: McVee May Tomlinson
HB: Rivers Lever Bowey
C; Langdon Salem Windsor
HF: Billings JVR Pickett
FF: Chandler Schache Fritsch 
Foll: Gawn Petracca Viney 
Int: Howes Sparrow ANB Laurie 
S: K Brown

FB: Hore T Mc
HB: Adams
C: Woey
HF: AMW Fullarton Tholstrup 
FF: Sestan Jefferson
Foll: Verrall Oliver 
Int: KFW

Big opportunities for Howes and Laurie to nail their spots.

T Mc, Fullarton, Woey all chances to push their case returning from injuries in the VFL game as well as Clarry obviously.

Aren't they allowed 7 or 8 on the interchange?

If Verral was serviceable both as a relief ruck and as a fwd vs Richmond why not try him vs Carlton?

he can rotate through ffw and ruck with schache

Did Fullerton grow a new leg? According to Tom Browne, didn’t it need to be amputated a few weeks ago?

I’d agree with you on this…

I'm of the understanding that the VFL game starts at 10:30am and will be non-attendance. 

The AFL game starts at 5:40pm and will be open to attendance.

  • 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.
