Hibbo in the fwd line? possibly nullifying Mcgovern? or just team sheets not really reflecting positions.

If Charlie's inclusion in the starting 18 means that he will play on Sunday (as it usually does), then I know even less about football than I thought I did.  I really think he has a bright future, but to me, he has looked 'cooked' for the last several games.  I hope we don't look back on his inclusion as another costly selection blunder.

nah JKH IS A DUD. Play Hannan

Hibberd in the forward line has me bum-puzzled. Goodwin doesn't play ducks and drakes like that.
Tom McDonald Mk. II…?

Would be interesting if he is playing ducks and drakes. Hibberd to negate McGovern. Or just make Westcoast worry about it.....

Tmac said a couple of weeks back, "it's just a team sheet - wouldn't pay too much attention to it"

Hibberd and Tyson both out of position, just being clear they're named

Would say Melk and Kent own those positions and leaves 2 more for the bench... Be guessing as to who

Honestly our selection committee have some kind of man love for Spargo. I like him, but I would be bringing in anyone else after last week's performance. 

I want Kent to have a run before his contract is up and we have to make a call on his future.

I think WC may struggle to contain the smalls give their tall defenders,hence why Spargo is still playing. 


Happy to see Spargo backed in, and not surprised to see it. He made some poor decisions last week - but won't make them again. It's called development.

What a joke, Spargo keeps his spot.

I have to agree, I can’t see how the match committee feel he’s done enough over the last few weeks to retain his spot. If nothing else he just looks off the pace  

I’m picturing the bench as: Kent, Melksham, Fritsch, JKH

Against the Eagles, 

I'd place on the bench:

  • Kent,
  • Melksham,
  • Pedersen, and
  • Wagner.

I'd take from the bench:

  • JKH,
  • Hannan,
  • Fritsch, and
  • Garlett.

But then again, Hannan would be good in the team to replace Lewis at Bkpkt and Fritsh should be in for Spargo.

I think he survives because of Garletts performance, can't be playing musical chairs with the forward line. Plain and simple

I'd be amazed it Fritsch is dropped before Spargo.

Garlett frustrates me no end at the moment.  I feel as though every time we need him to perform in a big game he goes missing.  His best performance since returning to the senior side was against Gold Coast.  Even SWYL could have snagged a few against that mob.

I'd rather us play Kent than Garlett.  Melksham, Weid and Hibberd are the other ins.  With Hogan and Hunt, I'd be looking at dropping Garlett and Pedersen.  JKH survives by the hair of his chinny chin chin.

Just guessing we'll wear 

the navy blue jumper with the red back, white shorts and red socks

... and a jock strap.

 

 Spargo may well be a GOOD future player but right now.

1 He is Too Slow

2 Cannot kick more than 35 Meters which is school boy stuff.

On a fast track he will be exposed big time!

Also JKH if he plays is the luckiest player next to Spargo Currently going around! IMV

I’m a Garlett fan and still a believer... I’d like to see a final bench of:

Melksham, Kent, Garlett and Fritsch.

Plenty of run and pace there.

  • 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.
