    Tim, you can find the squad for today's game:

    MELBOURNE is set to face Port Adelaide for the first time in AFLW history.

    The Dees will travel to Alberton Oval on Sunday to meet the Power in an official practice match.

    For the final hit-out before Round 1, Melbourne has named a 24-player squad with a combination of fresh and experienced talent bolstering the side.

    Paxy Paxman and Gab Colvin will be travelling to Adelaide for their first game of the pre-season, having missed last week’s match simulation against Carlton due to injury.

    Fans will once again get a look at an array of new Demons with Ryleigh Wotherspoon, Alyssia Pisano, Denby Taylor, Grace Hill and Grace Beasley all selected for the Sunday game.

    Delany Madigan and Lily Johnson have been named as emergencies.

    The practice match will consist of four 15-minute quarters (with time on) as per the regular in-season game set-up.

    For supporters unable to make it to Alberton Oval, the match will be live streamed here from 11:30am (AEST) tomorrow.

    Losing a "match simulation" to Carlton didn't bother me.

    And I know it's still only a practice match, but this, on the other hand........🙁

    Poor Liv.  Suffered nasty facial fractures and concussion in the last quarter of the practice match against Port Adelaide.

    She’ll miss a sizeable chunk of the season.  A huge blow for the team too.

    Best wishes Liv for a full and rapid recovery.

    A very thin midfield group gets a fair bit thinner with Purcell's injury. I was all for rejuvenating the list, but Eliza West would be handy right about now. 

    The pre season form has to be a major concern, as does the reliance on Hore to play key roles all over the field.

    • 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.

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
