    Good effort to suggest changes clearly without watching the game but they should be as follows:

    OUT: T. McDonald, Melksham, Jackson
    IN: Weideman, Pickett, Lockhart

    Smith gets a reprive up forward where he belongs.

    Out : 1 point win

    In    : 30 point loss

     

    Seriously, we are still a terrible team/club. To think that Peter Jackson once said in the press that it was "Offensive" to suggest Goodwin wasnt a good coach.. The only part that is offensive is the length of contract this bloke has.

    We are going NOWHERE with him at the helm.

    Big winner today was Norf.

     

    We cant make enough changes to that error-plagued and lazy outfit to make much difference next week. 

    Beyond disappointing.

    Let’s worry about the changes after we find out who played well for Casey.

    It is not just ins and outs. Look at three big name signing.

    May is not a fullback, dominated games at GC as a half back  

    Lever is only useful as a third  tall.

    Tomlinson is ok but not a wingman, 

    And then there are the regulars, Jetta sadly is near the end. brayshaw is a plodder. Vineys role should be replaced with Harmes. Without the bullocking Viney is a rover to ther best ruckman in the league, Whoever is at his feet should be starring. Old school second rover for mine. Neil-Bullen far too happy with himself. It just goes on and on. Loved Petraccas game but to hear him say the BLues are a really good team is ridiculous. Sire say they gave hard competition, but a good team. No.

    Goodwin is simply not up to it...

    Weideman for Jackson. I'm not critical of Jackson but he's raw and will take time. Weid has to be ahead of him at this point.

    Pickett for ANB.

    OMac for Smith

    Also need to find a way to get vandenBerg in.

    Agree, except I'd keep Jacko in

    Hear you on both Weid and Jackson. Like to get Jackson at least two to three games. Agree on OMac and Pickett. VDB for Melksham maybe. 

    The good news is that Weid reportedly kicked 5 or 6 goals in the scratch match. The bad news is so did Brown apparently.

    melksham and t mac on thin ice

    at this stage i think - on the g - you need some tall targets to kick to, so i'd give lj a reprieve this week

    IN: weed, o mac
    OUT: jones, smith

    sad to see nate go out like he is - looks a shadow of his former self

    anb and hunt did their roles; pickett will need to wait, silly boy

    I dont see why we can't play all 3 of Jackson, McDonald and Weideman.

    Yet instead of having a skinny half forward flanker at full forward why not stick Weid or McDonald down there instead. Use Jacko as the backup ruckman, and leave Weid and McDonald as genuine key forwards.

    Jackson showed there is something to work with. Feel like that more game time and experience the better.

    Gotta get Kossi and Vanders in there as well.

    Gee I'm glad Smith is in for Omac   oh [censored]

    We need Fritsch to play forward   oh [censored]

    Melksham back in makes the forward line better   oh [censored]

    Great to see Jacko in for trade bait Weid   oh [censored]

    Is Petty injured? He looked okay 

    yes

    Changes:

    Need a tall back, not a brainless kangaroo.  That means OMac in for Smith.

    Weid to come in to provide a true marking option forward.  Fritsch to hff to deliver.  Kosi in.

    I have trouble dropping Jones, but he is under the pump.  As is Melk.

    Would persist with Jackson.  Nibbler probably for the chop.

    Goody should make a statement.  That was just weak.  A small amount of pressure and the Dees crumbled.  Our ‘speed’ tactic hardly paid off.

    For what it's worth, and I know some people lament him on here, but I would pick Weid before I picked Tmac, at least he gets involved in the play enough to warrant selection.

    Hope Hannan pulled up well after the scratch match. Takes Melskham’s place for mine.

    • 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.

    • 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?
