Weed is in the starting 18 so he plays. 

It's a Sunday game so we only have the squad.

    Surprised after all these years that there are people who still don't understand how Sunday squads work. Goody has actually done us a favour by naming JJ, Jackson, Harmes and Sparrow on the extended bench. Those 4 plus the starting 18 will be the team and we don't even need the usual 24 hours to speculate. 

    Not sure what that means for TMac's role going forward, but Goody must prefer to have him in the 22 as some sort of Mr. Fixit rather than to omit him. I don't think the three amigos will work together in F50.

    Goody has already said we wont play 3 key forwards. I wont put any thought into the 18 named on field and just absorb the outs and wait until the final 22 is announced tomorrow. Shame about the 2 out for protocols but it is what it is. Will be interesting to see how they cover Viney’s midfield time. 

    I have lots of faith in the jordans and sparrows of this squad.

    4 out of 6 premiership defenders too.

    Not ideal but go Dees.

    The protocols ending wouldn't mean that anyone in them before then just gets to walk out though I wouldn't think.

     

    I think you will find it does

    Terrible luck if Viney and Lever are just close contacts and missed the end of the BS rules by 1 day!

     

    Even without the close contact rules, AFL have their own individual mandate they run to.

    You would think Dunstan for Viney, but then I look at the interchange and you can’t drop Harmes, Jackson, Sparrow or JJ 

     

    Correct so the inters will be Harmes, Jacko, Sparrow and JJ with DUNSTAN to be medi sub!

    Yep. Only VIC and NSW rules are changing tomorrow. The AFL will probably keep the H&S protocols all season citing ‘an abundance of caution’, even if the rest of the states and territories also ease their close contact rules.

    Aren't the 18 named LOCKS in the 22??

    Smith plays half back.

    Tmac takes lever's role.

    Gus goes to the wing.

    Jordon and Sparrow rotate through the midfield, replacing viney. 

    So final team has two changes:

    Viney and Lever out.

    Smith and Brown in

    Bedford medi sub.

    Weed has been handed a gilt edged opportunity. 

    If he has a big game, where his intensity and contest is elite he can make dropping him that bit harder.

    Ball in his court.

    There are two realities and it seems that with different line ups on the AFL site to that listed by the MFC we are between those realities.

    In a strange way it perfectly reflects the world at present.

    Reminds me of one of the Coodabeens most famous sayings....

    When two big men fly only one will find Nirvana

    Final teams by tomorrow evening i believe so the starting 18 is still open.

    Gut feel instincts (ie; throw a dart)...

    Smith possibly coming in for Lever,  Bedford for Viney with Sparrow / Harmes to share more of the Viney role between them?  Mostly Sparrow.  Harmes still playing his usual hybrid MF/HF role with a little more bias toward MF minutes?  Bedford to get a bit of MF time with these two but more as a high HF/Mid when these two are off and or pushing forward.

    Don’t think the players named on the ground can come out it’s Brown and Smith in for Lever and Viney, with Jackson, Harmes, Bowey and Pickett on the bench

    Will probably have to wait until Casey play on Saturday to find out the starting 23, that is if there are no more surprises in the mix.

    TMac won't play back with Smith and Tomlinson waiting in the wings.

    If they lose a KPD during a match, maybe as a stopgap, but not as a selection.

    I agree with other posters that Tommy Mac should replace Lever on the backline, and Brown/Weed forward.

    Re Viney. I don't rate Bedford or Melksham. So the other inclusion would be Dunstan, Smith or Tomlinson. The Club seem to love Smith, so I guess he'll get the nod. Poor Tommo.

    Doesn't Weid being named in the 18 mean he's definitely playing though?

    Good point and I’m not sure tbh.

    • 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.
