    How is saying he will be our second-best key forward a buzzkill?

    I'm happy we signed him, it would be a buzzkill if I said he was our worst.

    I dislike this. 

    We have T Mc, Petty, Melksham and Fritsch who can provide lead up options better than Brown. 

    We have Weid, Preuss and Jackson who can sit under a high ball.

    Brown offers nothing for forward pressure or genuine contested tall work and can he really still play key back?

    We need genuine key defensive depth to push Oscar and cover May. 

    And we need the scope to add skilled midfield runners because we haven’t done it during the draft or trade. 

    The only skilled runner we’ve added is Bennell and he might never play again.

    I'm probably the odd one out on Demonland currently, but I'm not as enthusiastic as most about Petty forward. Hope he goes well though.

     

    Personally, I think they've got it wrong. Petty should play back and Smith should play forward, but what would I know?

    I’m assuming this selection is based purely on the infamous Sydney round 22 game when we literally ran out of key forwards (apart from Keilty who wasn’t AFL standard) and the list management department were made to look like fools in that game.

    We can’t have a repeat of this fwd line again:

    HF - Petracca  Melksham ANB

    F.     C Wagner  Fritsch Chandler

    You’ve rightly pointed out his flaws, but for someone that kicked a bag of 4 in a prime time Friday night win this year (and two 3 goal games), I think he’s a pretty good depth pick up.

    I think we traded into 8 to get him and then realised it wasn't early enough.

    If that's the case, I wonder who we were after at 3. I'd hazard a guess that it was Young, but we cooled on him for whatever reason. Probably because Young could be seen as a bigger risk than Jackson.

    He's a rookie. He's depth. If we are injury ravaged, he can inconsistently play a role. You can't smash it with every rookie pick.

    I wasn't a fan initially, but it makes enough sense for 2020.

    He will ensure our young kpfs earn games.. That's a good thing.

    So Langdon, Tomlinson and Rivers don't count?

    JJ, Nietschke and Baker continue to develop.

    Oh and forward entries weren't the problem, the dysfunctional and decimated forward line was

    Far too good a quality. I prefer Bonar norf style for the lols

    I don't mind it for a rookie spot. Can play forward or back. Had a decent year last year. Will plug a hole for us if needed. Solid list management.

    Yeah........... and what if we have a run of bad injuries like a few years ago when we lost Gawn against Geelong at Marvel Stadium.. I reckon it is good insurance. We could have used him last year as well.

    absolutely correct.

    I would have rather Josh Walker to be honest. Only 26 years old and was playing some really impressive footy for Brissy at the start or this year then fell out.

    He is a Melbourne player now so I will support him. 

    Welcome Mitch.

    Well then we play Pruess......

     

    Did anyone else throw up in their mouth when they saw the headline:

    Delisted Bomber Joins Dees?

    I'm sure he is a nice guy but hopefully he doesn't play a game for the seniors.  will mean we dont have too many injuries and/or our key fwds are playing okay

    Oh and forward entries weren't the problem, the dysfunctional and decimated forward line was

    Langdon - nice winger, not skilled.

    Tomlinson - depth type, not a long term fix, neither quick nor skilled.

    Rivers - good half back until he builds his tank

    Baker - currently walking laps

    JJ - slow, an ok inside midfield option

     Nietschke - slow with the ball in hand and I kick better than he does. Half back depth. 

    Langdon’s the only genuine linebreaker and there’s not a player you really want kicking the ball inside 50 from any of our mids.

    Key forward depth would be nice but we already have a stack of options. We used pick 3 on a guy who can do something forward if needed. We didn’t use a single pick or trade for immediate midfield skill.

    Don't worry CB, there are group who see every move by the club as just to left of JC. If you should have a varying opinion that instantly makes you negative.

    • 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.
