19 disposals at 42% efficiency

If he could kick, we win and play finals

    Hogan kicked badly today but to say he should be dropped is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. 

    Someone mentioned he is low on confidence??! He kicked 4.1 last week.  

    Perspective - against the Suns

    Drop Jones, Garlett. Play Fritsch forward. Move ANB in the middle, alternate with Trac.

    Bring in Hibberd, Milshake.

    Oliver to captain.

    Ahh what? You want to drop Jones but yet keep this buffoon in? Same bloke that kicked it straight to a swan 7 times and then cracked his decks in the middle of the MCG from a Petracca kick?

    Wow..

    Kent -  played well and kicked three for Casey yesterday.

    Melksham  -  automatic inclusion if 100%.  His ball use was sorely missed today.

    Hibberd   -  another obvious inclusion if he's right to go.  His hardness and run out of defence have been missed during his absence.

    OUT

    Spargo  -  has a future, but was a 'rabbit in headlights' today.  Some finals experience at Casey is due.

    Hunt -  I liked his inclusion on Friday, but was clearly 'underdone' and way out of form today.  My bad!  Probably out injured anyway.

    Peddersen  -  again I liked his selection on Friday, but realistically, he was only ever holding the fort for Hibberd / Smith.  Solid gap-filler over the years but time has caught up.

    Thin ice

    Garlett had a stinker today, but was among our best 6 to 8 last week.  He gets a reprieve for mine

    JKH was just adequate, and I can't see an obvious replacement.  Hannan maybe, but to me he doesn't seem to work hard enough, end to end.

    Others also had disappointing games today, but no point in 'throwing out the baby ........... '.

    I'm not sure Hibberd is right to go yet.

    I hope we don't rush him in because on the off chance we make finals he is vital to us putting up some kind of a show.

    Clearly will be the two ins with Hibberd and Melky and I would have thought Hannan, Wags, Weid, Kent and Bugg are all in the mix for a recall as well although I can't see them all returning in one hit.

    The three likely outs by my reckoning are:

    Hunt - Injured his ankle ligaments again I think, but let's wait and see what club says on this. 

    Pedo - Replaced Smith as we tried going big, but he just wasn't able to play that intercepter role and you have to wonder what selectors were thinking in picking him as a third defender against a small side like the Swans. With Hibberd out, Wags was the logical like-for-like choice. Further to this Oscar got the easy second-tall gig on McCartin and that meant his confidence and standing rose as Pedo's fell.

    Spargo - I love his workrate but I reckon his two shots that ended up short make it hard to justify him at such a  young age. 

    Then the club has to decide whether they can afford to again play Hoges and Garlett  who have been unable to have an impact in big games, although both have been mega-impressive in our easy wins.

    Ousting them means a major restructure of forward line late in season.  

    If Hoges is too sore, then I actually think Weids can do a fairly good job of replacing him.

    Spargo isn’t ready. I said a few weeks ago he wasn’t strong enough to stick tackles. Today it was his lack of composure and inability to kick 40m. Just not ready. 

    Seeriously 40 meters … try 30 not ready and as I have said elsewhere has NO PACE!

    This is spot on.. recon Jesse will miss through injury-  if so I’d go a smaller forward line and bring Hannan in.

    Yeah okay. If hogan injured then pederson stays in and plays down forward. One last chance for Garlett.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
