No way Bowey goes out for ANYONE! Bowey stays for the rest if his career for mine. HUNT will find a spot for sure so that leaves possibly Hibberd who has become fumbly or???

Hibberd wouldn't be in the side if Hunt was healthy.

 

If WB win on Fri night, should we expect a few to be rested? Perhaps Max?

 

This may have been discussed already (I’m too lazy to read through the entire thread), but is it possible that if the Dogs win on Friday, securing us at least 2nd place, Nathan Jones could get a run against the Cats with a view to him either getting to play a farewell game or the opportunity to secure a place in the side for the finals?

    Or beat the blazes out of Selwood and Hawkins

    Wouldn’t be against this.

    Nice bit of obfuscation by Goodwin. He's reported as having said to the media yesterday, that we won't be resting anyone...unless they're sore or carrying an injury.

    I miss that gif that Andy created in the lead up to (2018 I think it was) finals, where we smashed Hawks, Geelong, West Coast and another. I was a hilarious wrestling meme! 
     

    We probably should just storm through at full strength, a few look tired, but we have depth, we’re also likely to have a weeks break at some point.

    This is exactly what we should do. Put Jones in as the sub instead of VandenBerg. 

    In: May, McDonald, Viney, Jones

    Out: Smith, Melksham, Sparrow, VandenBerg

    Despite all the debate about the team selection this week,  if Dogs win then nothing is on the line.

    Do a reasonable hit out but it will be dereliction of duty to play NQR key players and have them sore for the first final.  I know that covers about 3/4 of the team but we have never had this opportunity to game the system as others have and we should use it.

    If Dogs lose then the reverse is true. Go for broke and hope the gods are smiling on May, Lever, Oliver,Petracca,Salem, Gawn,...................................................................................................................................

    My order of importance to winnning a flag above.

    Cats will do exactly the same i reckon - and so if Doggies win, i would be surprised if there is a major contest..

    Of course it still wont stop Danger and Selwood with head high bumps, Hawkins with free flying elbows. 

    Would Cats have nothing to play for if Dogs win? Playing dogs or port in a neutral venue. Perhaps they fancy one over the other

    Personally I'd rather play Port (or Brisbane) in week 1 than the Dogs, despite the last few games I think the Dogs are a more finals hardened team than Port. So for mine a win is still important Saturday night.

    Absolutely. Dogs are a real threat. Port is my preference but a Hipwoodless Brissy appeals more than the Dogs who have one of the smartest coaches in the game.

    Wonder if they'll pull a surprise selection? Dropping Hibberd for May instead of Joel Smith?

    I kinda hope not. Prefer things as 'settled' as possible from a role perspective.

    The changes seem relatively obvious this week, so hope we don't get too cute.

    Hibbo too important with Hunt out. Gives us some dash and carry from the backline. Smith is a no.

    No j agree. Just know the club rate Smith enormously and would be finding ways to fit him in.

    Smith is a bit stiff but at least we have a capable player there that has played, in case a defender goes down. 

    real tough having ready to go fill ins with no VFL

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
