jesus people are asking Campbell Brown his opinion? Who next? Aker?

 

Yes drop watts and dawes, bring in ? We don't have any other key forwards, many speak before they think about the alternative

I wouldn't drop Watts, he is a valuable contributor. I would look at Pedersen for Dawes though.

If Dawes gets a game this week then it's in his court, Peders needs to keep the pressure on at Casey.

 

Dawes is our number one forward and isnt kicking goals, I hope roosy has put some heat on him

Dawes has always taken at least two or three games to get his touch back, when he has an injury interrupted period it makes his game stop and start, he has now had two games back, yesterday at training he looked really sharp, hopefully this Friday he will be on all cylinders, at least he has still been crashing and bashing

He really, reallllllly isn't.

Both figuratively and literally.

that would be news for most posters

I hope he is 'TDI', it would help the cause no end if he had a big one on Friday.

I thought his first game back last season was his best, and I didn't think he came close to that game for the rest of the year sadly.

That said, he's a big body in the forward line, he is talented enough to require one of the two best defenders to mark him, and he is providing a foil for Hogan & Watts to snag a couple each which makes the forward line more potent.

So, just to put it clearly, Barrie Vagg was the greatest half forward flanker in the history of the MFC! (Written without even the slightest hint of modesty...)

You're just lucky Mark Jackson didn't play HFF.

disagree.

In the past 2 years Dawes has had injury interrupted preseason but did actually start really well but faded through the year.

Was suspended for one game this year, not injured.

Dawes is important but he hasn't been good enough this last 2 weeks

To nail my colors to the mast, lest i be accused of calling for his head and then being bagged after he stars against the tiges i do not think Dawes should be dropped. That said i'd drop him before dropping Watts

You're just lucky Mark Jackson didn't play HFF.

Wacko Jacko was just a crass full forward...!! Didn't have the class nor polish to be allowed anywhere near the HFF! LOL


Now, look here, Ernie!! Just because most of the posters on here are barely out of nappies and wouldn't have the foggiest idea about us great players of the past, it doesn't give you the right to rewrite history! I was CLEARLY far more talented than Bobby, a far better goal kicker, and WAY more important to the team! And, if there's anyone on here who really is so old that they remember us, and disagrees with my comments, then they are obviously suffering from senility!

Now Vaggie just you listen up! Modesty prevented me from replying to this earlier. You, a far better goal kicker than ME? Look at the stats. McKenzie 125 games for 252 goals (av. 2 goals a game). Tunbridge 117 games for 129 goals and you Barrie, 115 games for 132 goals. I was also better looking than you!!!! Good on you mate.

He really, reallllllly isn't.

Both figuratively and literally.

3rd wheel to open and protect space for JH.

Garlett would be our most productive atm.

Fans of a certain inside midfielder with the initials VM will be very happy with the only change to the team this week.

Roos rewarding players that knock down the door as promised, and not just making rash changes from one bad performance.

Well done Viv.

Now, make the most of it.

Happy we didn't go with another tall

looking forward to this one!

  • 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.
