Bailey seems to prefer the Sandy route which makes a lot of sense, however, I rate Bate as an immediate in when fit... which places him head and shoulders above Sylvia IMO

    Bit worried about Petterd.

    Hopefully he is not sitting on the sidelines because of more lung problems.

    Do we know what is wrong with him?

    It seems he was dropped after round 1, then hasn't played for Sandy, but i haven't heard about an injury to him.

    I totally agree, bate gives some energy in the melbourne players on the feild when performing. he can lift the side and should definantly be on feild playing when fit to play.

    I reckon its probably a little lack of fitness for Rick. Sure he has has a preseason but would not have had too much physical contact. Didnt show too much in the NAB games and probably just isnt match fit! Needs a few runs at Sandy I reckon. He`ll be back though! I would not risk bring Bater in after 5 or so weeks out with a hammy. Madness! the jump from just training to match tempo just might twang it again. Not worth the risk this early!Be great to have both these guys 100% fit, big boost !

    I might hupothesise here..

    seems obvious Ricky isnt quite up to scratch..despite initial appearances.

    If his situtaion was more seeious you would think he'd go straight to th Long Term Injury list ??

    possibly requires more conditioning.

    Sightings at training ??

    Youd expect the Master to appear with Zebs first.

    Im pretty certain Bailey isn't playing Petterd because he didn't warrant selection, lets face it he was a big let down in round 1, he had friends but he was pretty poor. He is still so young and will need a fair bit of time to be re-introduced to footy. Just give him time, I don't want him slammed back into the 22 anyway.

    Bate will either get a game for the Dees this week or will have one week at Sandy expect to see him this Saturday for Melbourne, or the Sunday after.

    Is there a mod in the house? I'm not schizophrenic and neither am I. But I'm pretty sure McLean/McLean5/burne gimp is!

    What is the deal with these two?

    Are they injured still?

    Will they be brought back through Sandy?

    Disappointing that Bate gets a minor hammy and is out so far for 5 weeks. Petterd and Moloney are obviously carrying injuries.

    • 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.
