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. 

Doesn’t help he’s been asked to pinch hit in the ruck, from what I recall he injured his shin in the north game doing just that

    Biggest problem with Melksham/Harmes neither have kicked a goal. If we had capitalised on our chances against Hawthorn in 1st quarter it would have been game over same as the Roos yesterday.

    It's taking all of my powers of self-control not to respond to this post in the fashion it deserves.

    Glad to see you’re outraged as well PD

    Where the FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF is the teams?

    I assumed they were going to be released at the normal time of 6.25pm EST. 

    I agreed earlier with GNF’s changes however am tossing up between Weid or Balic being the in. Stretch, Hunt and Tyson being the other ins.

    I think Tim Smith must be seriously in the frame.. i did hear a little whisper late last week.. didn't play Casey.. can anyone clarify if he is in fact injured? 

    Isnt this the game last year that Rance kneed him in the ribs?

    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.

    He got a 2 year contract extension until end of 2019. He ain’t going anywhere

    My guess it:

    In: Stretch, Weids, Tyson, Hunt

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

    Makes sense to me.

    Stretch and Hunt for speed. Weeds for a focal point, Tyson for clearances.

    That's an improvement

    I believe it is!  Maybe they want to give him the opportunity of returning the favour...!

    Teams released at 6.25 pm the night before the game when neither team has played for well over a week.

    The AFL is run by retards.

    You mean “persons with intellectual disability” surely.

    Or idiots....

    Dare I ask, but did we tank it last week knowing we had 9 days and 5 days break? Knowing we had the premiers and presumably wanting to hit them hard on a big stage? Or was there enough failure in the forward line and the lack of scoreboard pressure to explain the horrible performance?

    Balic is injured - hammy tightness. 

    I wonder if Stretch is a clear in or designated emergency?

    Frost has been mooted as being dropped

    • 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.
