    PJ played a shocker, the best thing he did all game was see the ball over the boundary line.

    I think he will play next week, due to the fact that Bailey might not risk playing two young and inexperienced ruckmen.

    Are you nuts? Bruce was our best player after Davey... and the fact that he didn't give up in that final quarter was the reason we put a bit of respectability on the board. Your spot on with the other three though, but I would add Dunn to that group. Hopeless!

    PJ will stay in. Meeson played alright, anyone think he did ok? cause I reckon he did the job well. Out Sylvia in Robertson or Jurrah. If Robertson not fit enough then Wonaeamirri. If both robbo and wonna are not fit enough then Jurrah and Maric.

    And forgot to say out Jetta.

    Jamie Bennell coming along very nicely.

    I hope Jetta plays next week. He has the potential but needs to find ways of getting the ball and contesting. I thought he played well in the first quarter but then he completely dropped off.

    Perfect, except Junior will play if he's fit.

    Aussie is not fit to play, and when he is it's likely he'll come back through the VFL to test out the hammy.

    Robbo needs at least another full game after missing 10 months of footy.

    None of Bruce, McLean or Miller will get dropped. I do wonder sometimes whether people just express their insane desires in these topics, or whether they ever happen to take reality into account :rolleyes:

    They were pretty critical of Sylvia on SEN but he was named in the best on the club website.

    In: Maric

    Out: Jetta

    McDonald, Robertson and Whelan are obvious selections if fit.

    It's sad that you say that, because it seems to be the way coaches think also. Afraid to drop the big names. For the sake of the development of this team, DB has to start dropping players that don't perform. Aparently Miller was working very hard off the ball all day, Bruce didn't stop trying, even in the last quarter, but as far as Mclean goes, He's certainly not good enough at this point to be playing AFL football. DB needs to grow some balls and make some tough decisions. All in all i wasn't too upset with the result against port. There were many positives to take from the game.

    I do agree with you though regarding not jumping the gun... im certainly not wanting Bailey to yeild the ax, but just show and prove to the melbourne players that if you as a player don't have a good game, you will be dropped, no matter who it is. People are calling for Jetta's head because he didn't perform... what about the senior players who didn't perform?

    He wants Bruce out every week.

    How far away is Wrecker?

    You guys are aware Aussie is injured, tho an injured aussie would almost be better than what we got at the moment.

    Bruce? ummmm no mate, 29 touches, 8 marks, 2 goals, and 1 centre clearance.

    Yeah but Players dont get games on potential they get games on their match performances, and if Maric is playing good footy at casey then bring him in, but your right he has got it.

    How many possessions once the game was over?

    2 cheap goals in the last quarter.

    Padding his stats.

    its their insane desires, particularly when it comes to YM, anyone with any knowledge knows that McLean and Bruce won't be dropped :blink:

    Out: Sylvia, PJ - both of 'em can play for Casey for the rest of their careers as far as I'm concerned

    In: Jmac, Spencer. (If Jmac isn't fit then a traffic cone for Sylvia will do)

    Not sure about the Bruce bashing :wacko: The side looked a hellova lot better when he fired.

    • 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.
