    There are a lot of what if's in the draft (as always)

    But Pick #9 we selected Weed

    Pick #10 Carlton selected McKay

    If people are looking at Melksham's stats last week they are looking in the wrong place.Ā  10 d, 9 k and 4 m doesn't look great until they realise he played only 54% game time:Ā  barely played 2 quarters.Ā  I think he is carrying a foot injury perhaps connected to he one which kept him out for a while several years ago.

    Last week he enabled two goals in the first quarter with pin point passes, to keep us close to Adelaide.Ā  He barely played after the 1st quarter. Ā  He was far from our worst vs the crows - not even in the bottom 6 given his low game time.

    I'm not a Melksham but I can see that he plays a valuable role most weeks.Ā 

    He doesn't tackle Melk maybe he's been saving tackles for a big game like tommorow night.

    He did haveĀ 5 score involvements against the crows in 54% gametime which is decent.

    Can deliver a sumptuous ball on the chest.

    I heard this afternoon that it was going to be open.

    If it rains and they have to keep it open, will the quick sand favor our game style over the Dogs?

    Would have preferred Mitch Brown to Weid frankly

    Heā€™s very crafty MitchĀ

    Good selections, prove that last week was an off game.Ā  Deliver the ball properly to Weidemen and well Milkshakes is probably lucky

    Roof open or closed? Anyone in the know?

    It'll be open and it's absolutely rubbish. Window dressing of the highest order! It's seen to be doing something. If there's covid in the stadium it's going to be there roof open or not. Hopefully it doesn't rain and ruin what is to be a good match.Ā

    There is consistency in our selections or non selections this year. Very hard for others to get a look in. I guess a 1 point loss is close to a win, though, our system needs to be looked at, given we were nearly 3 goals up with 7 mins to go. No heads to roll!

    I thought Melky did alright in the first half. If he can keep that form for 4 then he will keep his place. Must be on thin ice though.

    No mention about Jetts injury. Was it a leg or ankle thing?Ā Anyway, out and the quarter back is up.Ā 

    Hunt (who was off last week) and especially Salem are so important for our backline structure and their presence when getting repeat 50 entries and closing down corridors, as are our wings.

    The pressure is on Weids. I believe he will rise for the big game.

    ANB is also under the pump, but,Ā givenĀ we need to stop some of their players,Ā he should thrive with hard run with's and lockdowns.

    Petty will have sorted a few things out by now and could be the big improver.

    Fritta won't have two bad games.

    Bowey the med sub. Get him used to the regime asĀ Sparrow and Chandler need game time. Can't see us going with BBB.

    Addit: no Casey game, so Sparrow to be the med sub

    Lots of great match ups, of course the one they all talk about is Trac v Bont, but the match up I'm most looking forward to is Spargo v Daniels.

    i wonder whether anb might take him as our fittest player - caleb daniel just runs and runs and runs

    i'm also wondering whether harmes goes to liberatore and tries to stop him being so impactful winning contestedĀ ball

    there's so many interesting clashes around the ground between types of players

    i'm pretty excited to see how we go; it's a massive challenge for both clubs given that the are both in terrific form and playing really well, plus both have had covid distractionsĀ 

    gotta curtail their fast ball movement and force them wide and long to contests

    Surely Sparrow gets the sub. With no Casey game this week he is the most in form and could have the greatest impact if needed.

    Would have loved to see Melk as sub instead urgh.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourneā€™s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle.Ā As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nationā€™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.Ā

    • 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.
