Re-read my post .......I am aware that if we aren’t told the reason then a player is fair game for criticism....I will not repeat what I know as it’s not my information to pass on ....however there is an extremely good reason & has nothing to do  with Jayden ‘s application or desire for the footy & that is all I will say on the matter !

You don't have to tell us outright Deestar - just pick a number from one to three.

Jayden has:

1) a bout of salmonella from a carton of unpasturised Nippys?

2) contracted chlamydiosis from a tawny frogmouth?

3) been suffering itchy-scalp syndrome from excessive head-band use?

    No change

    Sensible move from the club. No need to change a 109 point winning side. 

    Obviously Tommy Mac is no certainty but hopefully he gets up!

    I'm shocked Garlett's not playing since his Aunt designed this week's strip.

    Call me naive, but I honestly thought it was set up for Spargo to be rested and Garlett return for a little sentiment.

    I think the entire footy world has forgotten how good Adelaide are, despite missing a few best 22.

    Only 4 weeks ago they beat Sydney in Sydney with an even more depleted side than the one they're putting out Sunday.

    80% of the media has gone for us which is incredible. 

    Would be one of the great wins of recent years if we get it done this week.

    I don't think they have forgotten, last Friday night Adelaide smashed the Dogs and whilst I'm not the biggest fan of many in the football media I don't think their memory loss is as bad as you say.

    I just think many see us as the better team, it's a game we are expected to win.

    Lets hope we do.

    Need to earn your spot Garlett would know this, I’m sure he is proud that his teammates are wearing the jumper

    Any news about who is travelling with the team as emergencies.... I assume it is at least Garlett and Pedersen.

    Would like to see Hunt and Tyson down at Port tomorrow if possible.

    So if my Aunt designs next weeks Guernsey then I'm an automatic inclusion in the forward pocket? 

    Don't be silly, BBP. We play to win, not for sentimentality.

    Well he's young, therefore he get's tired, expect for the time when he is also young and therefore full of exuberance and pep. Also he is young and doesnt have leadership skills, except for the time when he is also young and not blighted by our losses.

    Wasn't there something about a back problem during the pre season?

    Great teams are ruthless. Sentiment is for losers. Garlett would still be in the team if he had chased like a maniac and put his head over the ball early in the year. Spargo has and continues to run out games as a first year player. Whilst we continue to reward the right team first behaviours and demote those that can't live up to them until they prove they can we will continue to improve.

    If she comes up with a navy blue jersey with an inverted crimson triangle coming down from the shoulders, she might be on to something.

    The battle between our forwards and their backline will go a long way to deciding the outcome of this game.

    They have one of the best back six in the game, one that is highly discipline, good in one on one situations and they can also generate turnovers and plenty of run from half back.  On the flip side, our forward line is in peak form at the moment with our ability to generate inside 50's, keep the ball in there and apply pressure that creates turnovers for us.  This may change slightly with T Mac potentially missing the game, but I still believe we can easily kick a winning score without him.

    Use the ball well going forward and sticking to our structures, while not allowing them to run the ball out easily, will put us in a great position to win the game.  We're fit, we're in form and I see no reason why this can't continue on Sunday afternoon.

    a number of reasons imc.

    One to return Garlett this week, and to give the lad a week off, then back next week, (to freshen him up ahead of the QB game)...  both Spargo and Garlett in the side against the Bulldogs.

    Then we can see how the lineup looks, ahead of the Q/Birthday game... Re selection for that Matchup.

     

    After that, we enter the bye, and then the All important run home.

    • 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.
