Lists are constantly being turned over every year and I spoke about finding more skilled players, not sacking the whole list.

Your comment that we had only 3 players in a finals like pressure game, who have played in finals is actually misleading. We have played in several games of finals like pressure recently, including QB and Anzac game, not to mention the last game last year and several others and most of the players playing friday also played in those games.

We may have some good ball users, but we also play plenty who aren't. If the Recruiters take your lead we will never look for or get any.

I also said we can hopefully develop our own improved ball use.

I don't think blind loyalty in a club helps anyone when discussing the state of a club's list. You seem unwilling to concede that we need some more players with high skills and extra pace.  I would have thought that was obvious. 

But they weren't finals, were they?

And, the team failed....until Friday

This is the time they get better

Port finished top two or three, four years in a row until they won the big one

Bring on the finals, I say, and allow that learning curve to continue

We have 44 players who can develop, doesn't matter the name or age, we may lose a couple at the end of the season, but that will be the decision of the FD who have the best handle on platers abilities

A case in point being Dion Johnstone, had a think about him, moved him to defence, like having a new player

My question was a simple "Who do you see as our developing mids and half backs with pace and good disposal skills?

Your answer above has nothing to do with my question. Probably no point in asking you any more then.

Still a very good question Mr. Leg.

  • 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.
