Cameron Pedersen booted five goals in the VFL on Sunday but won't be picked to play the Tigers.    Thats surprising, a one day break should surely be enough.

Mate I’ve said it before on here and I’ll say it again.  You need to remove that “Pro” part from your name.. Because you have absolutely no idea.

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

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

Assuming:

In: Tyson, Hunt, Weideman. 

Out: Bugg, Frost, Lewis.

Think this improves us on last weeks team.

Hogan to swing between CHF and CHB?

 

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.

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

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

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.

MCC sold out and now predicting 87K.  reckon we should tick over 90K given the weather

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.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
