Caddy now ruled out says Hardwick

He’s become a really handy player for the Tigers, I had my doubts he was going to make it.

    Assuming:

    In: Tyson, Hunt, Weideman. 

    Out: Bugg, Frost, Lewis.

    Think this improves us on last weeks team.

    Hogan to swing between CHF and CHB?

    Agree with that, thought he was going down the road of a B grade plodder in and out of VFL but credit to him. Outs for Tigers are handy for us

    CHB?

    No.

    Reiwoldt is Richmond’s only tall forward. Frost was dropped because of this and form. Hopefully doesn’t ever come back in.

    Hogan needs to play his roaming game and all Weed needs to do is make a genuine contest at every opportunity. If he doesn’t mark it, bring it to ground.

    Wagner played yesterday so he is guaranteed to be out!

    That was Wagner's brother Corey playing yesterday, not the senior Wagner.

    swing/roam same same. Has been spending a bit of time across half back anyway in recent weeks. Just on marking, we dont have many good marks in the side either.

    Vlaustin and Caddy in doubt. Though I suspect the latter will play.

    Frost dumped for this week (and possibly forever IMO)

    Tigers only have 1 big up forward. Frost didn’t have an opponent. He will play against sides with the right match up

    Bit difficult to tell from the radio commentary however he seemed like he saw a bit of the pill!

    Big outs for RICHMOND. Vlaustin is critical down back. He had 17 kicks and 10 marks against hawks.

    Call me a pessimist but we will not beat them, even with those outs.

    I even forgot about Tyson!  He is more of a certainty if he is over his illness than the others...

    Reports from training stated he trained fully on the weekend. Plus, No Tyson No Melbourne.

    We are 0-2 without and 2-0 with this year.

    Would have struggled to get a game anyway in my opinion.

    Unless something dramatic happens I can't see him on the list next year.

    I think he will only play now if injuries mean we are desperate for a tall option.

    Dumb question, but does anyone know if MFC members (I'm an 11 game member) need to buy tickets for this game or just rock up?

    I find Ticketek very confusing.

    EDIT: It is recommended that members reserve a seat I have since found out.

    We shouldn’t be relying on Hogan in the midfield, there’s plenty of kids in the side. We need him to kick 70-80 and he could if Goodwin left him alone.

    Harmes as a ruck is beyond stupid by the coach

    Just hope you say the same thing about Hardwick and Shaun Grigg! They did win a flag with it mind you Febel!

    Have a look at this Clint.

    Seems that  you can get general admission with your MFC membership but it could be pot luck getting a seat. There is always standing room in the Southern Stand.

    cheers

    They are missing two role players.

    We are missing Viney and T Mac.

    The Tigers are lucky.

    My guess it:

    In: Stretch, Weids, Tyson, Hunt

    Out: Lewis, Bugg, Frost, one of: Harmes/Melksham

    We can’t continue to carry both Harmes and Melksham, I agree with your ins/outs. 

    Disappointed in Harmes so far after reading good reports on him during the off-season. He came back in great shape having shed some kilo’s.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
