JKH laid 8 tackles and had 4 score involvements. He would have done what the coach had required of him to earn his spot for another week. 

Depending on how Casey goes, might be Hannan for Tyson. 

9 tackles I think.  

No way he gets dropped

    No change.

    Though I still dont like Vince and Lewis in the same team.

    Weideman for Hannan. Apart from anything else, lets us leave Tom McD up forward the whole match as Weideman would cover  for Gawn.

    Tyson for Viney seems obvious, perhaps they wanted more pace against the Dogs, but do we need more grunt against Geelong?

    Tyson for Hannan will be about it!

    Given the dimensions of Geelong’s ground, longish and skinny, maybe it is more grunt in the middle that is needed, rather than leg speed, so maybe it’s Tyson and he played well today.

    I think you can have both as long as they keep the rest of the pace in the team.

    I don’t agree with needing more grunt.  Geelong are an average clearance team and we have inside mids to punish them, keep the pace in.  Hannan stays, no change.

    This game will be won or lost by our defence, if we leak goals it's game over. Menzel always gets hold of us. I think any changes now will be experienced players only.

    The bear hug is the kiss of death, just ask Jack Trengove! It implies you've worked so hard to get on the team and earn the hug and next weeks selection, so that when you fail the next time, it will end up being the last.

    Viney didn't play so are you saying Tyson instead of Weideman to replace Hannan? Otherwise who do we drop in addition to Hannan?

    At any rate, I'm not sure about playing Weideman. The forward line balance feels much better since we went smaller and given we're prone to running TMac up on the wing at times anyway, we may as well make that stint a ruck stint and keep some pace in the side.

    Menzel is a lurker who preys on mistakes, minimise them and it limits his influence

    I watched a bit of the Cats-Crows game. I'd be shocked if Menzel got a game after that effort. It was pathetic.

    I need some mid cover in my supercoach team. Dropping like flies.

    Hannan has been a real disappointment this year. Hasn’t progress at all. 

    I get that hes probably not having the same impact as last year, but hes played 11 games this year and has kicked 16.14.. thats already 30 scoring shots at goal..  but to say hes not progressed at all is a bit of a stretch...

    Personally i think he's developing just fine.

    Hannan probably the only one in the mix to be dropped for mine, everyone else was serviceable enough at the very least. 

    Maybe Balic could get a run. 

    I'd rather Vanders but he needs another week or two at Casey (or at least a game in normal conditions to see where he is actually at).

    Please no Dom Tyson. Please.

    No Change in my opinion

    Hannan is going ok. He needs to clean up his kicking for goal. No poroblems with his endeavour.

    He gets plenty of opportunity to score  butneeds to improve accuracy. He will kick a small bag soon.

    No Tyson please!

    Someone said to me, that JKH, like players who are given a chance, often play with the fear that a mistake could see them dumped. This clearly would restrict their natural instinct and ability to play well. On that basis, without any better player being available, he gets another game.

    Fritsch spent most if not all of the last quarter on the half back line and played very well there. That might be a hint that Vince is in trouble and that the match committee believe they've got a replacement for Fritsch on the wing. Of course, as someone mentioned earlier, that might just have been to cover Jetta who I hadn't realised spent a lot of time on the bench in the last quarter.

    Anyway, I think Vince and Hannan would be the only two players who might be replaced although I wouldn't be at all surprised if there is no change.

    • 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.
