Jeffo in, Petty goes back (assuming May misses).

McVee into the middle, Viney out.

    Viney looks really sore, will probably require surgery on his shoulder

    Oliver has 14 pins in his hand, will require surgery

    Gawn has his ankle/leg issue

    May has his back/ribs issue

    Get them all in for surgery/recovery early so that they are fit for the majority of the preseason. And give the AFL minutes to guys in the VFL to see what they have (Laurie, Jefferson, Fullarton, K Brown)

    Tonight was our last shot at '24.

    Results be damned, It's officially time to rest the older guys or anyone who isn't 100% and get some games into the kids.

    Play Jefferson and K Brown, that's all I really want.

    We all need to prepare for a blast from the media because it will be another very small crowd.

    Lingers and McVee will get rubbed out. May will miss too. 

    Get ready for a nice pantsing. I’m expecting a 10+ goal loss.

    Langdon probably gets a week for that but English dominates the last quarter.

    Bedford and Cameron put their opponents into next week and somehow play the next week.

    Try explaining that to someone new to the game.

    Use the next couple of weeks to rest a couple. Viney for a week and Clarry for a week. Try and be in as good as shape as possible for the filth in the last game.

    May obviously injured, feels like Gawn, Oliver and Viney are too.

    TMac's form has disintegrated in a fortnight.

    We've spent all year trying to force the square peg that is Petty into the round hole that is our forward line. I think that experiment can end. With May going out, put Petty back and accept that from now on he's a defender. He will have TMac's spot next year, most likely.

    If that means it's time to play Jefferson in the forward line, so be it.

    Oofa doofa. This is gonna be ugly. The crowd will be back to 2008-2013 levels and the performance could match it.

    I'm disappointed that he's such a confidence player after all these years.

    You could tell from very early on tonight he was thinking about last week.

    I think it might be time I'm afraid...

    Jeffo will only come in if one of the other talls goes out. Can't see them dropping anyone, in spite of anything, players like Petty and Turner need game time. So depends on May?

    That’s what I said - May out injured, Petty goes back, Jefferson comes in.

    Tom McDonald is ready for retirement.  He’s moving slower and getting outbodied.  Just hanging in. Has moments but is getting exposed too much. Goodwin had refused to play Tomlinson who surely walks out after getting overlooked again this year.

    Yes, exit interviews could be interesting unless he makes the decision himself. Would prefer TMac stayed, even if he plays the year out at Casey where he could bring a bit of experience. Can't see BBB or Schache going round again.

    I was all for him going around again two weeks ago, even after last week I thought he could go around one more time, but he's in his head already.

    I think he'll hang them up.

    Just want to see Jefferson and Laurie in for the remaining games. Not much else to get excited about for the remainder of this season.

    Time for the draft board to be opened up?

    Tomlinson, I believe, has been available for over a year. Nobody took a bite last year.

    Gawn will never agree to a rest, nor will Oliver or Viney.

    Tom controlled Hogan for the best part of 3/4's before a couple of good efforts by Jesse after a flood of supply. Had a shocker tonight but also got some of the roughest umpiring you'll ever see. Honestly, a few dropped marks paid and laughable frees against.

    He'll finish very highly in the B+F. If he's keen to play on someone will nab him. If we move him on it will only be because we've found another option and we want to stagger the McDonald/May coming off the list.

    Why would he be dropped for Tomlinson who would've given up just as many if not more contests tonight given the flood of supply.

    Disco in for May, not too worried about which end he or Petty plays.

    The big guns won't take a rest whilst we are still mathematically alive.

    Hore for Moniz-Wakefield please, we need some experience and steadiness down back.

    No interest in Jeffo this year unless really needed. He still doesn't have the body for AFL footy and won't touch it with no supply at all. Round 1 next year has to be the target.

    • 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.
