i'd still have harmes in ahead of sparrow especially with viney out we really need a presence tackling and speed out of the stoppage and a week in the twos should be plenty for a broken wrist so for me

IN: Petty, Harmes, Chandler

OUT: Tomlinson, Baker, ANB (lay a tackle son its what you're there for)

    Weideman was clearly BOG IMO 

    Disagree. Number 32 was, in my view, best on ground by a mile.

    Weed was good and worked hard. But he benefited from a woeful defence and the ball coming in under no pressure.

    Missed some gettable shots.

    And frustratingly applied little forward half pressure and I can't recall him laying a tackle.

    Stunned we are brining in Petty. He was awful vs the Hawks. Every time the ball went to him in a contest he looked all at sea.

    Sydney’s plan will be, kick it to who ever is on Petty. Tmac back and Weid up front should be the go.

    Oh and Harmes in for Baker, Harmes plays Viney role, Brayshaw back to the wing.

    I hear what you're saying regarding Petty but T.Mcdonald is just as shaky in defence so lets go with Petty back and keep Tmac forward where he plays his best footy.

    If you mean Sparrow as BOG then I agree with you.

    if you are saying harmes as the medi-sub (for jones) then not a good idea. harmes needs more game time

    Really want to see Harmes playing. He has skills.

    Tmac, Salem, Lever, Hunt have all stepped up to their best form. Harmes the chance to do likewise.

     

    In Harmes, there is a bit of a tuff-nut against sides that huddle and break. His shepherding work is seldom seen overtly, but it is classy and effective, creating screens and handballing options for other Demon players. Harmes can use his body well, is difficult to stop when apace with the ball and has what can now be regarded as 'good experience'. It would be great if he could return to form and consistency.

    Still struggling with the lack of love for Baker. Have watched the replay twice now and don't see the negativity. I would think his effort in the last qtr; 1 vs 2, makes the coaching team give him a big tick. On re-watching, his disposal was nowhere near as bad as some are saying.

    he was only picked because the more obvious choices played vfl, so brayshaw took viney role and baker to wing

    with brayshaw back to the wing, baker is not a viney replacement

    Look at his decision making or super high lob kicks he does to team mates so opponents have a few years to get to the contest

    He was awful in the first half but to be fair to him really looked a lot more settled in the second. Took good marks, had better positioning, i suspect his first half was nerves getting the better of him.

    Agree, but the Hawks don’t have decent forwards, or team really. Sydney are much better and he can’t have gained confidence from his last game then being dropped again.

    Very true Swans are a lot more capable of kicking a winning score than the Hawks. I would hope that Goody and Co would’ve said to him that being dropped for May is no reflection on his game. Should he come in now you would imagine he will be in there for a while.

    1sr half he was very average but the 2nd half he started working better with back line imo. 
     

    I think he will be fine and has been training for this exact situation. Have faith G.

    Maybe watch it again.....  Much like the whole back six, after Quarter time Petty was acually very good

    It won't happen (yet), but:

    *T-Mac to wing

    *Weid to forward line

    Ok I'll bite, why is Brayshaw back to the wing? Is Viney back in next week?

    • 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.
