True. I'm sure Garry Lyon has absolutely no insight about the assistant coach of the team he captained and was team of the century for and presented to the premiership cup to, particularly about someone he played with...

    Port, GWS, GCS are the only real opportunities. I suppose you always need to start from the bottom. But boy i wouldnt want to goto any of them. 

    Would turn GWS around just about instantly IMO. Lots of talent there, but relationships are a mess and game day strategy no good. Perfect scenario for Yze I reckon.

    So @WalkingCivilWarwas lucky to slap hands with Max after the GWS game but this is now unlikely with her 'dreamboat', man, Steven May. 🙃

    Uhm, he’s actually my boyfriend he just doesn’t know it.

    Well don't make lighting  of a serious situation that affects players staff fans snd families.

    Your  comment  was not appropriate as any one reading your comment would ask What  did they do to get Covid?  And immediately lay blame.

    I guess I’ll just have to stalk him the good ol’ fashioned way. You don’t happen to have his address by any chance?

    JK. Like I don’t already have a stake-out under his bedroom window every night.

    With all due respect to the majority of our side, I really hope the additional two players aren't any of Gawn, Petracca, Oliver, Fritta or May.

    Lever can marshal Tomlinson, Petty & Smith. Mitch Brown can take over Fritta's role for a week or 2. Daw for Gawn? Only swapping a G for a D and losing an N. Sparrow was our Petracca backup. Clarry - I don't see any like for like player to come in there. We'd require a re-jig of the midfield for the weeks he's not there. Do we throw Brayshaw back in there?

    I presume we're all going through the exercise of working out who's most dispensible?? Or more particularly who isn't. 

    Gawn/Oliver/Petracca/Langdon/Brayshaw are clearly irreplaceable. Fritta is borderline.

    I know WCW wont be happy with this, but I think that May is. Tomlinson would come in and Lever/Petty/Tomlinson and several of Hunt/Bowey/Rivers/Hibbert/Brayshaw/Smith (hmm?) is still a pretty good backline. Any of Hunt/Bowey (although preferably not)/Rivers are replaceable by Hibbert/Smith.

    I think pretty much everyone else is replaceable. 

    It's a shame that Oskar Baker wasn't able to perform better when he had his chance. 

    I'm sure everyone is hanging out for further news.

    Replace Brayshaw with May. If we have both May and Lever on a non wet game we arent losing defensively. May is in a tussle for AA fullback.

    On this issue surely all listed players would be having rat tests every day ATM and we would already know if anyone was positive today.

    Last time I saw this much stress on DL was when the Dogs were up by 19 in the GF 😎.

    Nope, I’m really relaxed about it, i hope the players, staff and families are all doing well but otherwise can’t wait to see how the team and the individuals (from Yze and Co and 2s players) perform against those [censored] Hawks.

    Tomlinson in for May? Yeah I’m ok with that. 😉 just for this week, though.

    well, looking for some positives here if it’s a bigger outbreak. Dunstan will get a decent look at things and hopefully feel more at home , and Bedford  can get off the pine at last . Other players who maybe thought they may not  get a game this year could also be exposed. Good fr the longer term… but not great fr Saturday is it. Crap way fr the winning record to be broken if it is .

    • 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.
