If that’s the case I wonder which one of Chandler, Baker or Jones gets a run? 

Chandler played the other night so wouldn't think it would be him.

Guess would be Jones for Viney, Baker the sub.

    Apologies if already mentioned, but apparently Viney might be a late out. (Not confirmed)

     

    That would be a shame, but I think it is a difficulty (should it occur) that we can overcome, such is our depth.

    In keeping with the theme of famous quotes, here’s my offering:

    “The snozzberries taste like snozzberries.” - Willy Wonka 

    My point is, motivational quotes are great ‘n’ all, but at the end of the day it’s actions and not words that win games. 
    GO THE MIGHTY DEEEEEZ 

    ❤️?❤️?
     

    incidentally, want your innocent childhood shattered in one fell swoop? Then look up Roald Dahl’s definition of snozzberries. 
    I sincerely apologise in advance.

    Only way we lose this is inaccurate kicking which has been a weak point this season. 

    From Tom Browne: Understand Jack Viney late out and won’t play today. Baker In. Viney trained yesterday but had some foot soreness.

    Two points on the game:

    1. North have one of the worst snipers in the league:  Cunnington!  He will set out to inflict as much damage as possible to our stars, mostly off the ball/behind play.  He can't be allowed to get away with those antics.  Our players need to rally early to protect each other.

    2. We have had a few slow starts and had to come back to win.  This is a game where I really wants us to come out firing in the first quarter:  not just play well but kick straight.  Nothing like scoreboard pressure.

    This is the first time I've been nervous about a game, this year.  I think we will win but I'll be glad when the final siren blows.

    Yes I'm more than just a little worried what 'missing t' will get up to if they're getting a right flogging.

    Kinda strange inclusion. With BBBrown in I woulda thought they’d like to get some time into TMac on a wing... Less likely to happen with Baker in. Unless Brayshaw just goes straight into the guts today

    Gee those feet of his have given him some grief.  Hopefully nothing major, super important player.

    To anyone who thinks North are any chance at all I’d be throwing a lobster on it because if they get up $300 should help ease the pain. 

    Given he was named to play to begin with should hopefully indicate it was nothing on major concern

    My thoughts exactly.

    Hope it stays dry.

    I wonder if we're going to have to manage Vineys load this year?

    Sounds like an injury that's never going to go away completely.

    Hoping that means Brayshaw plays more inside mid today.

    Just setting off on the ferry. 10 dees to every norf supporter. Hope that is a good omen

    I’m one of those idiots that cracks it at a horrible looking win. Freo round 1 didn’t impress me and I worried about what was to come. 
     

    But not today, I’ll take a 1 point scrapper if that’s what it takes. Coming off a big win, there must come a point when things go right for North, Adelaide looked like complete [censored] last year until they didn’t. 
     

    That said I expect to smash em. I just hope everyone, myself included keeps their [censored] together if we don’t.

    It'd take $100 on Nth +40 for me to get over a loss today.


    Not the damn foot again! Ffs! 
     

    I am thinking Gus into the guts and Baker to the wing.

    They might opt to give Jordon more game time in the middle if Viney is out and keep Gus on the wing, nice to have options though.

    I'm not.

    I hope he plays exactly the re he has all year. And I suspect he will.

    • 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.
