    So this is what I'd go with:

    In: Chandler, McDonald, Viney, Lever

    Out: Pickett, Jackson, Sparrow, Smith

    I think they'll go for Bedford over Chandler and Dunstan gets another game.

    I wouldn't have Chandler any where  near  it .

    Bedford for me

    What about Majak Daw as second ruckman.

    Max can cover their Jnr fella this week and forecast looks likely to be wet & greasy.  Maybe a bit of minor pinch hitting in the middle (and occasionally in the F50) from either Weid and/or Plugger Mac.

    The wet weather would be better suited to Macca or Melk coming in.  Daw is no doubt a handy ruck foil and intercept mark a kick behind the play or occasionally resting forward but that's it IMV.  Once the ball hits the deck or is in motion he really struggles and he's a pretty dodgy set shot for goal.

    Doubt there's any chance the MC would play him in the wet and we would have to be very low on stocks before he'd be anywhere near the picture for a senior call up under even the finest conditions.  Unless, Lucifer forbid, both Max & Dogga were both out at the same time.

    I don't often agree with your selections W but that feels about right ...subject to no further outs!

    I still think McEvoy out for the Hawks hurts them more than our outs. Our wet weather footy was pretty good last year, could live with a smaller runner, ground is not going to be heavy it is the G after all, give Bedford a go.

    Would love to see a surprise selection… a chance to give woewodin a go? Probably melksham would have more impact but would be great to see some new faces get a crack

    We lost our back up ruck, 5th mid rotation, and a pressure forward.

    None are in our galaxy of stars (yet). 

    We should be fine. No excuses.

    I’m excited for Bedford. I think he deserves a shot at it. From all reports he’s doing a lot right.

    If the ins are Lever, Viney and Bedford we still need a ruck back up. Weed has been doing a bit at Casey. Let’s hope he steps up. The weather suggests a lot of ground ball so Dunstan might be in his element. 

    Opportunities abound for guys keen to prove their worth.

    Magic Daw is ready. Let him loose!

    And Melk's time is now. Both fit & firing

    Joel Smith made one mistake otherwise he played a good game - May made a similar mistake in the last qtr - pretty tough call to drop him over that 

     

    Jack Riewoldt's poster in the second (?) was a direct result of Smith getting his positioning completely wrong. He did a couple of nice things and a couple of ordinary things. Our defenders these days rarely do ordinary things, so it sticks out.

    May's handball was cut off on the wing, which ended up rebounding to Riewoldt. Smith simply handballed under little pressure to Lynch, who turned around and kicked a goal. Not really the same thing IMV.

    I wouldn't have either of them. Bit we do need to bring in a pressure forward and it shouldn't be Melksham.

    Damn this is really going to test our depth, was going to happen eventually though so bring on the challenge. 

    Bedford for Kozzie

    Majak for LJ maybe? Or does TMac come in and Weid second rucks?

    Viney back for Sparrow

    Lever back and Smith makes way

    Well, this is more interesting than the normal ins and outs thread, in a worrying sort of way.

    Can I ask if a player has Covid does that mean a longer stint on the sidelines than the normal H&S ?  Also what worries me is the flow on effect plus the fact a player's body would be weakened by this B.....y Covid.

    it all depends how covid affects them

    many get no symptoms or mild symptoms for 24 hours

    so......"it depends"

    Taj went off injured late in the game with a head knock and it wasn't his best game.

    • 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.
