    It's too early to tell. What might be our best line up now is unlikely to be our best line up by the end of the year.

    I hope we can get a look at Adams and Sestan at AFL level soon.

    I think Turner should be in our best side too.

    Definitely Turner.

    I'd love Tholstrup to be clearly in the best 22 as part of that change you referred to over the year.

    For me Melksham is nowhere near our best side.

    The JVR call is a bold one - centre half forward? Why not give it a try. He’d have to work a lot harder and build up his aerobic agility.

    I've NFI how JvR is expected to learn his craft as a forward if he's rucking for up to 10 minutes each quarter. Fullerton had 6 hitouts and went OK. IMO he stays until JvR shows a bit at Casey (not rucking).

    Only Fullerton or AJ to ruck.

    Melksham ensures the ball comes to ground. If JVR and others can start to do that, great. Until then, Melksham stays.

    • 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.
