By my reckoning, two wins should get us into the finals but we have to win all four to get the double chance.

We certainly can’t take next week against Gold Coast lightly given what happened to us last year.

The line up was unchanged this week - can we go with the same line up again?

    Eight day break for Hogan and any other players to get over their niggles.

    NO CHANGE

    No change for me however a close look at Hogan is required.

    Hibberd ready yet? Big upgrade over Smith!

    Goodwin said in his presser not next week, maybe the week after for the swans.

    I would give Hogan a week off to rest if needed. Weids come in. 

    Otherwise no change as Hibbo, Viney and Hunt won’t be ready to return.

    I’d like to rest Hogan but we’d want to choose carefully who to bring in. Could really upset the balance if Weed comes in and just lugs around. This is no game to take easy

    Jayden Hunt? Reckon Fritsch needs a well earned rest. 

    No Fritsch is a gun and his kicking alone is needed. Hunt hasn't played any football.

    Did not go for any marks just parried the ball to ground, cant put two hands above his head. 

    Shoulder injury me thinks...

    Watched the replay and Hogan looks like he has a few issues to get over, so I would give him a rest.  He may have to miss through injury anyway with all the work he was getting done and the hobbling.

    If Hogan misses we would bring in Pedersen or Weid ..  we should manage fine with either of those guys for this game.

    Were working on his knee and groin all game. Also big hit in his back. Seemed ok above the shoulders just couldn't get any spring, so just caused a spillage as it's more reliable than going for a mark.

    Same result though. If he can't push off he's a liability. Like all players. I have him as my best F in all my fantasy leagues, and even I'm ok with him taking a week, particularly if it's soft-tissue related.

    bring in both Vanders and Pedo - targets, bodies, kickers, shakers, as we have the TEAM performing again with some being carried.

    How many times can I say given Hogan a rest?

    He's had knee, ankle and last week a hip and now another knee. Isn't jumping, isn't playing with any speed. Get him right. Play Weids or Tim Smith for the week.

    The fringe midfield/half forward brigade: Tyson, JKH, Spargo, ANB, Jeffy all did enough to keep their spots. Can't see how Vanders comes in there unless he plays a blinder.

    Joel Smith - horrible first half, but not so terrible to the extent that I'd be removing him for Josh Wagner or another fringe defender.

    Rest: Hogan

    In: Weid or Bull, both been good at VFL level, don’t think Pedo as he’s been playing as a defender the last 4 weeks

    Id want Keilty to play too but it ain’t gonna happen

    • 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.
