F: Fristch, B. Brown, ANB
I/C: Jackson, Rivers, Sparrow, Melksham

I think in a perfect world Bowey & Laurie would be putting pressure on for spots ahead of guys like Sparrow & Melksham, but maybe unlikely as they didn't get to play last year.

    I'll give it a go

    Jetta        May        Lever

    Rivers  Tomlinson  Salem

    Brayshaw  Oliver    Langdon

    Pickett     TMac      ANB

    Fritsch     Brown   Spargo

    Gawn    Petracca   Viney

    Hunt  Jordon  Melksham Jackson 

     

    Em: Weid Harmes Sparrow  Hibberd

     

    A lot of tough calls to be made - most likely we will have a few injuries along the way so the depth will be needed.  If Petty comes in for May, it will be interesting if he comes in and we don't miss a beat down back (which I think is possible - I rate Petty).

    TMac deserves to be in the side on form - at the start of the season I would have had Weid there.  Can TMac play the wing as he trained for over summer?  If so, where does Brayshaw go?  Back?   But who of the back 7 go out?  And is Brown, Weid, Jacko, Tmac too tall in a team with Gawn and Fritsch (plus the key defenders)?

    Amazing to think that the likes of Harmes and Hibberd aren't in my best 22 - although if they manage to break into the side through the season I think there's a good chance they'll stay in.

    We seem to be in great shape with options to fill every position - would love to see the draftees get a taste but it's going to be tough to get them in if the team keeps playing how they are.  I guess having them develop at Casey is not the worst thing!

    Largely agree, although l would swap Hibberd for Jetta, and maybe Petty for Jordon, although let’s see how he goes when he replaces May for the next 3-4 weeks. Overall a pretty good inform side.
     

    I’m also predicting Jackson is going to have a breakout game during the next couple of months, similar to the one Max had at Kardinia Park,l think in 2013, when he announced himself to the world when he marked everything, and has been the premier big man in the game since. When that happens, we will become just about unbeatable!

    Good choice.

    Maybe for me only swapping Weid and Melk after the cats game.

    Not like for like but weid is pretty athletic for his size.

    Great to see Gus playing so well again.

    Poor Jetta. Nothing would please me more and Im sure you to see him come back like Tmac.

    Has been one of the clubs best players.

    I think Melksham is a better player than Jordon and Hibberd is a better player than Jetta, but Jordon and Jetta are holding thier spots so good luck to them.

    no, he's not the present nor the future of this football club, tbh i'm not seeing what everyone else is so far this year but maybe i watch him too closely looking for his mistakes but given the fact he's on 700k and GCS current shortage of depth forwards im hoping we can ship off the best part of 500 of that - they get an upgrade on Day/Burgess/corbett to support Bking and we get him off our books with one of majak/mbrown to continue in the depth role going forward with LJ and then bradtke/andrews developing behind the current first choice duo

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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?
