Out of the games Oscar has played in this year, only the Round 1 loss to the Eagles and the Port loss feature opposition scores that were above the average this year. Not sure he was solely to blame for that in those particular games either.

The other 3 games feature opposition scores below average, 2 of which we won.

The last person we need coming in is OMac. Particularly if its wet.

 

Will wait for the first bounce to see if Pendlebury plays.

A few weeks ago he was withdrawn during the warm up.  His replacement was dressed and ready to go so it wasn't a last minute tweak.  Wouldn't surprise if they don't repeat the stunt this week.

Yeah they may opt for just Lever and May given the conditions.

Intriguing selection night.

    He's a long way off being fully right to play. Injury is much worse than reported. Huge game for both clubs though so think that's why they're willing to risk it.

    Nothing against Pendlebury personally but if they want to play with fire I hope he breaks down, they play one down, lose the game and he is out for the season. 

    As I said, I'll believe it when I see him at the bounce.

    What are you thinking will be the changes @Lord Nev?

    Would only be guessing, especially given there's so many options, but given Preuss was emergency last week then he would be a chance to come in for sure. The conditions may change selection slightly too.

    Could be...

    OUT: Jackson, 2 out of Harmes, vB, Jones

    IN: Preuss, Lockhart, VIney

    Go Preussy you did thing. Massive game to come in for as well.

    And hopefully it is just a case of playing it safe with Gawn and he isn’t out for too long.

    Happy to have the big Preussian in. Just hope he plays his role, gives Grundy a hard time and then hope the other selections/inclusions allow us to retain the structure up forward. 

    Preuss - good decision, if Grundy plays as expected, they have 2 proper ruckman with Cameron.

    Oscar should come in and if Tomlinson can make some sort of contest in the ruck that will be a good outcome. Oscar's defence is heart in mouth stuff. He a lot more reliable conveyance this year. 

    Think you've nailed it AF. 

    Dont need Oscar, but Brown could be handy

    Unleash the Punky Preusster. I have no idea how this will go but should be interesting.

    Jones out. Tomlinson to the wing. Never to play in defence again

    Omac in. Plays deep, on Reid. The Omac bandwagon must have broke its axle with people jumping on and off so quickly.

    Tmac stays in for Jackson. Plays as a forward.

    Lockhart comes in

    Viney in.

    Maxy plays. But Preuess comes if i'm wrong.

    Two players get  dropped. Should be Harmes. Wont be. Should be Melksham. Won't be. A leader apparently. Could be AVB. Wont be. 

    Spargo and Rivers the unlucky ones.

     

    And thats been the problem with our selections for a while now. Goody plays favourites all right!


    Braydon Preuss, this is exactly what you were recruited for. 
    Go for it.

    Exactly. If he can't fill in for the next week or two at a passable level,  what use is he to the Club? 

    I'm glad we've gone with Preuss to replace Jackson.

    Put TMac in Jackson's role and see if he can at least give us the same level of contest that Jackson was.

    Meanwhile Preuss has to make sure he's not letting Grundy dictate the hit outs, and has to stay with him around the ground. Grundy's been off, badly, the last few games bu if he returns to form, he could easily be the difference.

    He'll be wantng to prove himself

    Hopefully he smashes a tired grundy

    I reckon they'll pull Grundy out and itll be Cameron V Pruess.

    they'd be naive to go in with too many sore/underdone players.  Grundy won't like the thought of a desperate Pruess finally getting a run after 12 months barrelling into him.

    • 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.
