At least they were nice enough to not put in 2 rucks.

Hopefully Bellchambers runs out of petrol in the second qtr. He's had an injury interrupted pre season and hasn't played since 2015.

    Thats good news.  Didn't realise he was one of the 34 and its his first game back.  We need to run him off his feet.

    Extended bench is Salem, Tyson, Stretch, OMac, Bugg, Harmes and Weid.

    Can't see Tyson, Stretch or Salem (lol) being dropped. Think one of Weid or OMac (but not both) has to play - Weid for the Pedersen ruck scenario, or OMac for the TMac (Pedersen forward) scenario.

    That only leaves a Bugg for Harmes scenario - not a clear upgrade for mine so I wouldn't bother, but don't care one way or the other.

    James Kelly was rested so he will qualify for his 300th game when they play geelong in couple weeks

    I see Melks is 'named' on the wing - does a reduction in defensive positioning free him up to be more...um....useful?

    Ugly team. But not terrible. There's a lot of talent in every pocket. Hunt along the wing is a good move. I actually think our backline is nicely structured. Lewis, Frost and Vince is a nice half-back line. McDonald worries me on Daniherpes, I assume Jetta will run with McDonald-Tipencantspellit and I think he'll beat him out. Hibbert can go to Goddard.

    Our forward line just seems...wrong. It's not that I don't like any of the players, but Watts is far more damaging when playing deeper. Not confident in that half-forward line. I wonder how OMac will be used.

    Coach's favourite will play wherever he wants, provided he doesn't have to lay a tackle

    Injury issues?

    Would be shocked if O Mac doesnt play.  He will be needed to release Frost into relief ruck duties.

    Watts will be required up forward all game.

    Surely we'd be better with Frost on Daniher than Frost in the ruck.

    Someone has to relieve Pedders.

    If its Watts, we will be barren up forward.  And Trac is no certainty to play.

    The AFL site has the bench as O McDonald, Stretch, Tyson and Salem. I wonder if this is correct.

    Love your enthusiasm BA but sadly half a century of the opposite from the MFC leaves me with here we go again.

    I would dearly love for you so say " I told you so on Sunday night"

    It's like witnessing drive-by negativity. On every thread, OD.

    T. Mac going forward would be a serious option now, surely. Didn't he nearly win us the game against this mob a couple of seasons ago when moved there? 

    At least he can match it with Hurley for strength since we have no one with considerable size left to go forward. 

    If Daniher is going to have a day out it won't matter who's down back for us.

    Nope. That was Garland. And he did win it for us. Three goals.

    Hannan at full forward ??? I find it amazing he is selected. With Gawn and Hogan missing will be tough.

    I expect Pederson will ruck and T-Mac will follow Daniher in. 

    Good thought.  IF Tommy plays his best and negates Daniher all day -- even following him to the bench when he goes there -- then we are in with a real chance.

    Can't beleive it that Hogan is out. I understand his situation yet I think that the Dees are cursed. No finals this year unless a miracle occurs.

    I don't remember that. I only remember Col Garland kicking two or three in 2012 and beating Essendon.

    Cannot wait see the huge match up of the game in Daniher vs Jetta.

    Oh yeah that was a classic.  THink he was referring to the 2015 game when T Mac went forward in the last quarter and peppered away at the goals, managing one from 4 or 5 shots.

    I envy you for not remembering losses to Essendrug, I wish I could wipe them all from the memory.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
