No change.

If I was coach though. 

B. Brown for Melksham

    Been some carnage around other clubs with injuries. I’m all for some rotations, maybe 2/3 changes . Had Jackson not has his best game of the year he would have been the one I would have listed first.

    Jones, Melksham and Spargo are our clear bottom 3 at present. I think a case can be made for any of those three to go - but only one of them. I’d pick Brown ahead of Weid.

    I’d be really tempted to go no change though. The present mix is working. The risk of breaking it has to be a consideration.

    Blundstone Arena is a hole for football. 

    BBB in for Milkshake.

    Out: Melksham

    In: Brown

     

    We didn’t get a 60 goal a season forward to win games for Casey. It’s time.

    A few sore boys.. I recon Spargo will miss with his shoulder. Kossy might need a rest. He had an ankle issue at one stage but played on.

    Brown has to come in I think. Would probably rest Jones. 

    I'd be surprised with any forced changes after that effort.

    I want Weid and BBB in more than anyone but I just cant them getting game time with T-Mc and Jacko playing the way they are.  It's crazy that they're fit and firing and playing twos.

    We won't be dropping Melksham or Spargo.  They're never going to win a lot of possessions and there pressure looked ok.

    I actually think T Mac may get suspended for a week for his high hit which gave away a free kick. Hopefully just a fine.

    I reckon the coaches will be absolutely loving what Spargo brings to the forward line.

    I've never seen a Dees team put on the forward pressure that this one does and Spargs is a huge part of that.

    I’d have Brown for sure, and a few other changes to refresh them - and also, that will stop anyone thinking that it is an easy game, after tonight, which would be such a Melbourne thing to think.

    Don’t change what ain’t broke, but there may be some soreness or management needed on some of the young fellas or older one(s).

    BBB for probably Melksham unless there are injuries

    Spargo is playing selfless footy. He puts his body on the line in every contest. People have to stop looking at his stat's. Spargs role is not about winning the ball but making sure the ball doesn't leave the contest in the opposition possession. 

    Not a bad situation in having Weids, Ben Brown, Chandler,  Harmes, Daw and Jetta waiting for their chance.

    16 more matches until finals if we make it. There’s still a heap of time to get a big key forward in and try a couple of fresh faces through the midfield and backline. 

    Bowey, Sparrow, Weid, Brown all hungry and all have traits that can make us better but we don’t need to force it.

    I think Melksham should go but agree that we probably won't.

    I'd be surprised if we don't have a sore player or two after today. No point carrying injuries into any game this year.

    If no injuries and a clean bill of health, the only change to consider IMO is bringing in one of Brown or Weid for one of Melksham or Jones.

    I don't understand people wanting to bring in a key forward for a small or medium player.

    We currently have a pretty good balance, so I certainly wouldn't be bringing a tall in without taking one out.

    I've loved what Bedford is doing in the VFL and would love to see him replace Melksham but Melky seems to be bullet proof so it's an unlikely scenario.

    On a radio interview after the game, Max said that Harmes would be available next week.

    Harmes might have to come back through the VFL.

    We have to find a way to get BBB into the side. The North Hobart oval has some weird winds happening, and North Melbourne play it well. It would seem that next week is a particularly good time to give BBB a game and see how he can fit in.

    I can't nominate anyone to be dropped though!

    • 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?
