Did Tholstrup get injured? I missed parts of the game but didn't spot him in the last. Perhaps carry over for tonight?

    He took a few head knocks and was tested in the first half.

    Way too early to say. Weddle would’ve been nice though 

    Weddle gives me Jayden Hunt vibes

    Lachy Hunter 23 disposals, 6 marks, 6 tackles, 3 clearances... 11th for both teams in fantasy points... We'd be rapt if Kynan or Koltyn had those stats!

    Exactly. Way too early to judge a young tall. No one else (below Jefferson) has done much either. Looks like a very weak draft early days.

    You'd think with Ben Brown out of the AFL you'd give him a proper rest and let Jefferson try and own the forward 50, instead its the land of the lanky talls with Schache, Brown and Jefferson all running to the same spot.

    Totally agree. When people see the stats they’re very quick to write off Jefferson. Not sure he’s got the best shot at it being surrounded by the giants in that line. Not to mention Joel Smith was in there for a lot of it last year too at Casey.

    Stats look good on paper. Tomlinson had 37 and was average. Had 4 kicked on him. Kicked out of full back and dump kicked at least 50% of his possessions. Hunter was caught doing too much. A few nice things but he shouldn’t be anywhere near the 22.

    Not all talls come through and dominate straight away. Some take time, hence Melbourne extending his contract to 26’ so early because they were and are aware of that.

    That’s pretty good seeing that it is only Hunters second hit out for the year, so building nicely and Tom Fullarton is doing himself no harm as well.

    Jefferson’s intensity is pathetic. No defensive focus in his game and zero ground game. He won’t make it.

    No but they show something, I like hunger but I’d settle for an appetite with pick 15.

    Not bad but it was the lack of quality of a few too many disposals for mine plus he is still a fare way off his optimum fitness / strength me thinks. 

    Certainly not writing him off either.

    Coming from a long way back and too early to judge his form solely on these last two matches.

    Let's see how he fares over the next block of 3 to 5 eh.

    I thought Hunter had no influence at all.

    Our ball handling and disposal was garbage.

    The Captain probably turned it over 10 times himself.

    So many dropped marks and handballs.

    BBB’s last two games in the AFL and VFL have been simply horrible. Unless he can turn that around, I fear he may be very close to retirement.

    A couple of positives, while I don’t see Fullerton as a ruck, his game today was his best for Casey, he was very good. We need to develop his forward craft and then along with Verall we will have some depth up forward. Verall while not really extra tall, can ruck and has some serious talent. He actually is doing the things LJ did and with further development could be a beauty.

    Sestan also is improving.

     but who is the coach if the match day co-ordinator has minimal input into game plan and selection.

    The reality is that the result does not matter nearly as much as the individual output. Southport for example is a strong team in this competition but few if any of its players have a chance at making an AFL team

    So the Casey coach cannot make moves then or change how they play during the game interesting....

    Only within the context of Goodwin's overall plan. He would be allowed to tinker but the game plan and the playing method is pre-set.

    This year we chip it around and take on the corridor occasionally. Last two years it has been mainly a boundary game. It mirrors the senior team.

    It was worse when the VFL team was unaligned such as we had with Sandringham. Our players were often played in positions or in ways that ran contrary to the needs of the MFC AFL team. Juice Newton and Sauntner was the classic dilemna

    • 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.
