    News Flash for you Melbourne 777: PJ is out for the season champ. It was announced on Tuesday.

    Last I heard, we were undecided as to whether PJ would play this week.

    His surgery isn't until next week, and the injury is one that he can manage.

    Although I read an article where Monaghan stated that PJ was done, I wouldn't be surprised if he played, given earlier comment from the Club.

    "Paul Johnson will delay his season ending surgery for one extra week, and is set to line up this week against West Coast. Johnson was due to have hip surgery this week, but it was decided he should temporarily put that on hold, after it was clear that Jeff White would be forced to miss."

    In: Mark Jamar, Brad Miller, Michael Newton, Daniel Bell.

    Out: Lynden Dunn (ill), Chris Johnson (Inj-groin) , Jeff White (Inj – knee), Nathan Carroll (omitted)

    Well that's just it hightower he is playing...they have brought him back in to play.

    That is unusual, the article regarding Davey and Johnson is still current on the website, saying neither will play again in 2008.....Hmm <_<

    Jeff White forced to miss? Knee? Anyone see this last Friday night?

    My understanding is that there's a cutoff point during the year for promoting rookies, so Spencer's out, and Meesen... well, less said the better at this point.

    I guess the answer is Jamar rucks on his own.

    Hmm. I don't like the sound of Jamar rucking on his own. Maybe Holland to get a recall for the sole purpose of being the 2nd ruckman?

    Ignore him.

    High Tower responds to just about every post written.

    Including this one.

    Just watch.

    But now he won't because I said he will.

    Or will he?

    Nice one champ!

    Sorry High Tower you were saying....

    I think now it's newsflash to you PJ IS PLAYING.

    You've made your point, don't be a prat.

    High Tower, stop responding to everything and contributing nothing of substance. Your profile says you're 34 years old. Get a job.

    Lets hope PJ gets up this week. About the only bloke able to deliver the ball into the forward line with any aplomb and consistency. Which is damning (on everyone else) given he's 6'massive" and a backup ruckman.

    I think PJ should not play due to his injury - do the op -as it is of no significant consequence as to whether we win or lose, it is surely a chance to play Meeson, and see how he rates.

    Diablo, I simply do not like being made out to be an idiot when I was in fact right, that is all. I was not being a prat.

    With White out, Melbourne must believe the need PJ this week.

    Proves we're not tanking!

  • Quote

    If we win this by a comfortable margin, then manage to somehow beat Port Adelaide and the Hawks then smash the Eagles, who then go on to get belted by the Cats down at the Cattery, we could see the Dees against Richmond trying to lose by at least a set margin (i.e. must lose by at least 20 odd points)

    That really would be an odd round 22! Though i can't see us beating Port

  • Quote

    Yeah, but for us to be a risk of losing the spoon, we'd need to win more games in three weeks than we've done in 19 - can't see it happening. As you say, Port at AAMI's a tough one.

    Apologies for OFFENDING you Melb_777. You were right in hindsight, there simply was a change in plans by the club. The named side contradicted the previous report that PJ's season was over.

    Don't take it to heart.

    • 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.
