Any chance that the 26 players tested positive to illicit drugs by the Afl were all from the same team?....like us?

Trengrove is the suprise selection. Quick recovery ?

Perhaps he was never injured; simply rested.

You could be right, maybe needed a mental and pysical freshen up.

Time to play Davey again Id say and Kent or even Bail maybe from the bench?

No point having Davey sub each and every week when we are getting smashed

May 9th report website

CO-CAPTAIN Jack Trengove could miss the next two to three matches after injuring his calf at training on Thursday.

Perhaps was just resting, and disguised it as injury.

on a brighter note, happy for Magner to get a go.

Least you know he will give 100%, might inspire the others

Wouldn't it be logical to then say he only has a 1 week injury?

Injury list these days is as faux as the players playing in the same position as listed on the team line up

Nicholson!! Blind freddy knows this bloke does not deserve a game at this level. Farce!

I have great hopes for Fitzy, but I believe their is no need to rush him.

Agree give him another 3 years..

After all it took Jamar 8 before he played a decent one.

Still waiting for Sylvia after 10yrs

Fans tend to get more frustrated when players are out longer than they are initially listed/expected to be. Injuries are not an exact science. People heal at different rates and under different circumstances.

Worst Melbourne team I've ever seen.

No... I've seen worse .... the time Glenn Giles got a game! and incidently Magner's pace is about the same!!

Not disputing his endeavour .. but skills average and who can forget him not making the distance for a deliberate shot on goal from 30 m out??

Toumpas IN?? on what Form??

Gee we are clutching at straws

That wasn't my point...I was responding to say that if he was only going to be out for 1 week to rest, why put 2 - 3 weeks on injury list.

I don't know why we're rushing him back, he's been out of form and frankly fitness.

Who gives a crap.

This season is over. The only thing left to do is count the thrashings until Neeld, his useless assistants and those who chose them, are gone.

I can't believe I feel this way, but I do. Never have I cared less about a game. Now with Viney out, there isn't even a glimpse of hope on display.

Just make it end.

With you making these comments speaks volumes, usually the voice of reason :-(

A week is a long time in football and there are always surprises. Lets hope there is something this week.

If we play three rucks we'll be going in rather tall. The gameplan will be to score the first point and then erect a human pyramid blocking the space between Richmond's behind posts for the duration of the game. Obviously the unrealistic part of this plan will be scoring the first point.

You know if we win, Richmond may go back to ninth.....

This would be the biggest upset in AFL/VFL history

I don't think I've agreed with Clint before but hell.

Sellar, Nicholson, Mckenzie say no more

I think the "counting on our ruckmen to stand the goal-line" part of the plan is also asking a little too much.

A couple of things I'd like to see this week:

Magner picked, and played in the middle.

Davey picked, and not played as the sub

Dunn in the forward line, as well as Jetta

No, no. It's so one can permanently sit on Dawes's shoulders to mark all the passes that are a metre over his head. Great move!

Watched a different game to me Chook. Nicholson was awful, got beaten all day and continually looks lost. What did McKenzie do to earn the title of one of our best? I honestly don't remember him doing anything. He did lay 3 tackles, so by current standards that probably earns him a recall, but he's still utterly useless in attack.

McKenzie was one of our best until half time anyway. Playing as a defensive half forward he kept Harbrow to six touches until half time, he picked up 32 the week before. Not so good the second half when moved onto Ablett, but Dunn had already let him off the hook. McKenzie has his limitations, but at least he has a go.

Richmond have a permanent claim on ninth. It is the only honrable thing to assist them in regaining their rightful position though alas I don't think that we can help.

Dunn will be picking up Deledio, and Jetta is there for Nahas, with a swing into the forwards
