Bowey, Petty, McDonald, Lever are the starting backs with Salem, and Riv off the back flanks for the ‘A’ team.

interesting that with mcvee being ruled out for the first part of the season that rivers has been repositioned as a back flanker for the internal trial game 

mcdonald in the 'a team' as may is set to suit up for the indigenous game, i assume

    No Windsor today either so wonder whether Rivers goes back to the midfield once Caleb returns.

    Sparrow kicks truly. ‘A’ side comfortably in control. 

    If they weren't I'd be very concerned

    I’ll try and post some more consolidated thoughts tonight, but we definitely seem to be pressing up the ground on the transition and seem to be more matured with this than we were in the first half of last year. 
     

    Bowey managed to push up and kick a pearler.

    How did Bowey look? I'm hopeful he takes a big step up this year.

    Fritsch with another, takes his tally to 3.1. 
     

    I’m somewhat tentatively going to say Salem is back to his best, looks to be moving very similar to 2021 form and accumulating and distributing well. 
     

    Theres a brief stoppage with the coaching staff addressing both teams. Play resumes with 8:39 on the clock for the second stanza. 
     

    Clarry has been extremely vocal barking instructions in the D50/F50.

    HB, but I think he’s now being trialled as a HF. Missed a bit of play moving sides but he wasn’t one of the six out of the back on the most recent play.

    Looks good, I’d like him to get it a bit more but he’s definitely one of our better users. I actually think he could be a reasonable small forward for us.

    The challenge with Salo is that he seems to get injured or sick, misses a few games, then can't get back to his best. Lever is the same way.

    This really is pathetic by the club, either they don't give a hoot or they are totally incompetent I don't know which is worse

    Agree entirely. I really thought his confidence was really off last year and it showed. He really looked to doubt his ability to take contact.

    You wouldn't think he'll play in the seniors off just one week back in full training.

    More likely against Freo on 2 March.

    Salem and Bowey swapped onto the ‘B’ side for the last, Laurie now playing ‘A’ side with Hore.

    • 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.
