good to see martin in, he deserves to be in the 22.

Garland & Buckley.. Run we can't afford to lose...


Just noticed: Martin at FF. There's something new. Some posters here will be happy to see that.

Edit: And Cheney in the middle. And Johnson at CHB.

surely thats not how they will line up in those positions :huh:

 

Martin names at FF.

I like it.

Damn shame about Garland and Buckley.

Another 2 injuries... the list just keeps on growing.

Was Garland's injury publicised anywhere? If so, I must have missed it.

Good to see the 4 from last week retain their spots.


Garland out....bugger. Buckley was a strong possibility to be dropped anyway. I hate seeing any player out with a groin!

Time to pull the finger out Col.

You can be sure the team will not line up as selected.

Buckley struggled last weekend for any run, so no huge surprise.. whenever groin is mentioned, well you hope for the best!!

as for garland, one of the club;s rising stars, this is not needed at this time of the year or this time of his contineud development...

but again, it creates opportunity - we have kept the four debutants... we bring in stef martin who is as exciting as anyone...

sylvia, well enough has been said about this bloke but i personally am expecting him to step up!!

been calling for Stef to play forward before round 1 when it was clear we had too many key defenders... maybe I should apply for a job on the demons coaching staff...

Buckley had groin probs in pra-season I thought.

Garland is annoying as hell!

I like Martin but his disposal frightens me. I wonder who we'd play him on as I know little about c'wood's forwards. Missing Garland is doubly annoying 'cause I guess he would have got one of the pies free-kick seeking, swan-diving hardball shirking lumpy-spunk small forwards.

What is with our defenders and injuries?!

Martin, while it would be good to play him as a forward, will definitely be needed to take one of Collingwood's talls.

Good to see all 4 debutants get another chance.


I just got the team changes for Saturday via SMS. Didn't get it last week like that but I like it. Nice touch MFC.

MARTIN FORWARD !

new it would hapen eventualy

Sad to see Garland out like that.

Might as well put 200cm Martin in the Forward line, Rocca ain't playing.

Buckley had groin probs in pra-season I thought.

Garland is annoying as hell!

.... pies free-kick seeking, swan-diving hardball shirking lumpy-spunk small forwards.

You mean Didak! :lol:

Interesting that Collingwood will only have one ruckman....Fraser in action. Now if he pulls a muscle early.... :unsure:

Its also good that the four new players are included again.

Garland & Buckley.. Run we can't afford to lose...

Well Right Now they obviously can't Run so its great to put some new Blood in the team i say.

Col here is your chance to cement ya spot. Take it playing against the pies in front of a Big crowd. I Dare You!!

Also davey named in the FP next to him. With pettard and miller contesting I would suggest davey might be in for a busy day being frount and centre

He better I'm sick and tired of him under performing. He and Sylvia have to pull their fingers out of their ass. NO EXCUSES.

 

Happy the debutants stayed in.

Bloody upset about Garland, but it does let us see what Martin can do - possibly up forward though I doubt it.

Johnson at the back is interesting, he had a go up forward last week but couldn't get into much.

Sylvia had better pull his finger out, doesn't seem to have had to earn his spot, so hopefully he makes the most of it.

Is he injured, coz he wasn't our worst on the weekend. Made a couple of mistakes, but didn't think it was enough to be dropped.

  • 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.
