A sharp skills session with no drill lasting longer than 5 minutes

All walking wounded not sighted and Spargo

So Neitschke, Lever, Lewis, May, JKH, AVB, Hannan and Walker

Crossy gave Jeff Garlett's shoulders a work out with a tackling drill, Jeff did whole session

Squad still upbeat, no cloud of doom over Goschs,   only bright sunshine

    He has to be a chance.   We are desperate for a small forward.

    Yep its jeffy time. 

    Let's remember how he single handedly got us over the line round 2 last year when we were playing [censored] footy. 

    We need speed, crumbling ability & some x factor.

    We are suffering from lack of speed fatigue that's for sure.  Spargo, Jeffy and Hannan all sorely missed in the forward half.

    Would have to be one of the worst starts to a season injury wise but then again we've had plenty of em over the decades.

    Oh please, if we think Garlett is the answer to our present woes, we seriously are delusional

    Got a better option for a crumbing forward?

    Your bringing problems with no solutions. Don’t be that guy. 

     

    Its dreadfully obvious We are desperate for a dynamic crumbing forward with a bit of spark. When jeffy is on, he’s up there with the best. Let’s see him, I’m ready.

    Nope, and that is one of our many problems. He could hardly get a kick in the VFL last year, and is now a year older. Way past it

    Pruess ruck gawn full forward, use gawn as long option, fixes forward woes

     

    Except he can’t kick straight and defenders would run off him at every opportunity. Max is not a forward full stop. Weideman and McDonald are our key forwards and both need to lift substantially

    And you know what?  You might be right, bobby.

    But we could do worse than give him a crack.  We need a bit of spark down there and Jeffy is still capable of that.  At any rate he deserves the chance to show he's still got it.

    And if he doesn't?  Well, then we know.

    Can’t dispute that

    Yes, and if Garlett comes in I also want Lockhart to retain his spot.  That goal last week was great and he brings pressure.

    You need more than one small forward,  just look at any recent grand finalists.

    Don't think Jeffy is a VFL player, the stage is too small. Also, I think he's a victim of the coach's whims. In other words, ANB can get away with running like a hare and getting nowhere fast but that's ok, when someone like Garlett needs and deserves some smart midfield service which unfortunately doesn't seem to be part of the 'Game Plan'. What I know for sure is that Garlett will do more damage without half of the futile efforts of a plodder like ANB. It's the Eddie Betts principal. 

    I don't want this to sound like a put down of Goodwin, but Goodwin, like all coaches, has his likes and dislikes. If it weren't for Roos, Dunn would have finished his dedicated Demon career at Melbourne. In the same way that Dean Terlich's days were numbered when Roos arrived.

    Once again, this is not a criticism of Roos, simply a fact of life that it's horses for coaches in this business, witness Sheedy and Kevin Walsh, Lyon and Dawson etc etc...

    I noticed Spargo cop a knock on the jaw before half time but I thought it wasn't serious because he kept on playing. Another Gaff by the football department like J.Smith?

    2 years is a long time with no spark, Jeff needs a new ignition button installed.

    Hello Simon 

    It's that down to earth footy know it all Picket Fence here.

    Now Simon, we don't have a crumbing forward at present who can kick goals! Come to think of it we don't seem to have many who can and are kicking goals at present. Can I humbly make a suggestion , just a small one??

    TAKE THE BLOODY RISK AND GET JEFFY IN!!!

    Thanks Simon, I always thought I had your ear!

    Cheers

    if you think he wont help then maybe you are seriously delusional. He is agood player.. right now we need good players.. he wont kick 8 and win it for us but he might be an important piece of the puzzle.

    • 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.
