    Rest.

    We should now play Weetra and Meesen for the rest of the year and give White, Yze and Holland the last game if they are not in the side by then.

    That is proper list management. We should find out if these guys can play!

    Injured senior players should now be rested and get right for next pre season.

    We know Weetra can't play

    Give the kid a break.

    All four will play this weekend, albeit not with Melbourne. Cheney will be back for the Sandy reserves, and all of Green, Wheats and Wonna will play against the Dons.

    If fit, all should play, with Cheney at Sandy and the rest for the MFC.

    No thanks. If they can't play at Sandy (or Sandy reserves), tell me again why we need to play them at AFL level to see what they've got.

    Meesen is contracted for next year, so he can get a run then if you need to see a player at the top level. His form doesn't warrant leap-frogging Jamar, PJ, and White.

    Weetra had a run in the NAB Cup and also got a couple of games, didn't do well, and has languished in the Sandy reserves for much of what's been an inconsistent season, even at that level.

    Yes, Weetra didn't do much at all, he's goose is cooked.

    Brad Miller is out this week with a hamstring injury which was not reported earlier in the week. Ricky Petterd is not in the Sandringham team to play at the weekend. Last week itwas the same thing with Wheatley who was out with a calf injury that wasn't disclosed in the week's injury list. Presumably, these players' injuries happened after the list was issued but this has become such a commonplace occurrence that I'm starting to wonder about our fitness and training set up at the club.

    This is one of the first areas the club should review IMO.

    So how long is Miller out for? 1 week? More?

    If its a hammy, it would be more than one.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
