Anyone

But seriously:

Outs: Bennell - Morton

Ins: Bartram - Tapscott

Bennell - What is your deal? You have pace, skill by foot and poise (when you want) but you constantly give us nothing

Morton - Grow a pair, put on some weight, learn to kick or [censored] off

    Where are all the people who want Dunn, Bate, Warnock etc traded.

    Good games tomorrow for Casey and they will all be in at Darwin.

    Our young guys are still too young at this stage to carry the load.

    WE badly needed some older strong bodies tonight.

    If we weren't playing in Darwin Jurrah would be added to that list also.

    I agree we need Bate and Tappy back .Bate doesn't get pushed over .Bennell , Morton out . Jurrah SUB (MOJO down)... Garland - under the ball all night .Gysberts still too light .

    Scott West -WTF happened in every bounce ? Trengrove good forward but wasted .

    OUT- Morton, Bennell, Nicholson,

    Out Jurrah and Bennel - Find a heart between you! Nicholson.

    In Batram, MAcdonald - We really missed these two .Tapscott if fit or maybe Cook.

    Why should we keep Jurrah in just because the game is in Darwin? That's rubbish.

    I love how people think Dunn, Bate and/or Warnock are solutions. They aren't. They won't fix anything.

    Bennell and Morton have to go. We can't carry passengers like them. They don't work hard enough, they don't impact on the game enough, they are soft as butter and I don't like them (that last point is crucial of course).

    MacDonald is an automatic inclusion if fit. His pre-injury form was fine.

    Tapscott also comes back. By Darwin he should be fit enough.

    Maybe Bartram for Strauss too. Strauss hasn't convinced me yet. Not sure.

    In: MacDonald, Tapscott

    Out: Bennell, Morton

  • Quote

    Can't believe people are wanting Nicholson or Strauss out, or those who want Bartram in.

    OUT : Bennell, Morton.

    IN : Tapscott, MacDonald.

    How far away are Bail and Davey?

    MacDonald's knee injury is more serious than first thought. He will struggle to get up for the Port Adelaide game.

    Tappy I think would play OK in the greasy Darwin conditions. But players need 'great feel' in the hands to play in slippery conditions.

    So for that reason, I think we'd be doing Bater, & ourselves a dis-service if we played him in the Darwin heat. Keep him 'til after Darwin.

    So for this reason I'd be hanging onto Jurrah,,, maybe Bennell for his last chance/ or as Sub,,, and maybe Dunny & Maric. I'd go small, and quick. I'd keep Martin & Jamar & think about switching Morton for Dunn..

    * I wouldn't mind seeing Cook in with his great hands and 'Vision'. I hope their Not waiting til we play the Swans again, 'so we can see him sail into Sydney' !!! B)

    Doc Larkins said Jurrah has an achilles/ankle issue which has been causing his form/lack of run lately. Might need some time off. Thankfully we have the bye!

    This explains a lot. If Jurrah has a lower leg problem of ANY sort, it's going to seriously impair his effectiveness.

    Just don't understand why we need to play injured players. Surely they've learned something from the Davey debacle!

    I'd probably go against the popular trend, and keep Bennell for the Darwin game. His ball handling in slippery conditions is second-to-none, and this, combined with his pace, could be real assets. He must know that a spell at Casey is looming, and if he retains his spot for Darwin, he will surely realise that he is very lucky ..... that might just bring the best out of him. Having said that, his form doesn't warrant retention, and that should probably be the ultimate decider.

    They're playing him because he's fit. 2 weeks ago he had a 'Light' piece of taping around his calf muscle. NOT achilles strapping! So you would assume he had an slight tightness, in that 'Calf'.

    His lack of competitiveness IS Not due to any injury of a limb.

    Maric's contract is up at the end of the year. Why not try him in Bennells position down back or forward with a run through the midfield. He has been the best at Casey a number of times this year including yesterday. It's time to give him a few weeks in a row in the AFL to see whether he is worth keeping. Bennell is contracted next year so send him back to Casey to work on his ticker and see if he can involve himself more in the game.

    We need 15-20 possession games out of these guys on a regular basis if they are going to have an influence in the outcome of the game. Bennell is only averaging 10 this year which is less that last year and less than his first year.

    • 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.
