makes some sense but if true I would have expected the club to say so... mind you MFC is often failing in the communication stakes these days

    Again...it would make more sense to rest him next weekend... he's just had how many days since his last game ?

    How many really put it all game against Hawks ? He did.

    Paint this any way folk like... imho it's dumb dumb f'n stupid.

    Tonight is a far more important game than Essendon.

    Footy Live app. Need to capitalise on the hitout differential, this is where we really miss Viney. He and Gawn had a great synergy.

    Wet weather is all the more reason to play Fritsch, the boy does not fumble.

    Thought he was unlucky.

    I know Weid was great at Casey ......Fritsch was much better than weids first 2 games.

     

    The forgotten stat

    Finals in 2017:

    Melbourne 0 Richmond 3

    Premierships recently of note:

    Melbourne 0 Richmond 1

    I know...all history...no relevance :rolleyes:

    ???? he was ok at best

    i rate richmond super highly and have done for several years - 2016 was an aberration for them, and 2017 they made up being knocked out in elimination finals in 2013, 2014, and 2015

    they've been in the finals for four of the last five years and have, arguably, three of the best 10 players in the afl in martin, rance, and cotchin

    their small forwards and defensive press is incredible

    i think they'll well and truly put us away - 7 goals plus - but i honestly don't think it's the end of the world as they're the reigning premiers and have started the year on fire compared to our wobbly beginnings to 2018

    Yeah that must be it. Doubt there were any valid football related reasons at all.

    Id love to know what that validity was as it flies in the face of sense.

    Mind you.. we're getting good at that

    If true, surely you'd rest him before the game which has a five day break, not after a nine day break.

    What if they want him to play against Essendon because we need speed against Essendon on the faster Etihad track? 

    If we lose tonight it won't be because we missed Fritsch.

    As Josh Mahoney said this morning, we are picking teams with tonight's game in mind first and foremost.

    I understand young players being rested, it just doesn't make a lot of sense to rest after a nine-day break.

    If it's wet like predicted then all the more reason to play him tonight.

    I have been waiting for this side to explode the last 18 months. We see quarters here & there, halves here & there but we haven't seen it for a whole 4 quarters. Tonight is the night, I can sense it. Big stage, a lot to prove. We win this & we'll do it by 5-6 goals+

    No'one should underestimate the loss of Vlastuin for the tiges, he is a massive out.

    Jetta

    Lever

    Hunt

    Four of our most important players have all been poor in 2018...    they must turn it around tonight and get their season on track.  Thats 4/6 of our backline, no wonder we have been leaking goals.

    All guns when on song.  Fire up fellas.

    Nice pub but we're now with The Sporting Globe in Richmond.

    If we over hand ball as per usual its a 10 goal loss.

    If we play smarter football and spread well we can win this.

    Good skills seem to be a handicap to getting selected

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
