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)

    http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-04-23/big-demon-defender-out-of-tigers-clash

    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.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
