Pretty much as expected for a ‘squad’. 
Presumably, all those named will travel to Perth.

    That squad is just about a strong as you are going to get week to week in the H&A season. Salem to come back in to the back 50 team when fit and in form and that is about the only thing we need to top up this team.

    Harmes, Jackson, Jordon and Pickett on the IC.

    Presumably Bedford out so he can actually play a match, albeit in the VFL. Otherwise, presumably no change and Chandler and Mitch Brown being rewarded for decent performances in the VFL and being take across as insurance. Interesting that Daw isn't an emergency, either Max is a certainty or Daw is injured (though not listed anywhere).

    No change,   but I would love for milkshake to get to 200 games

    Tomlinson on the extended bench presumably as cover for Lever who some observers last week thought was suffering from something more severe than a corky.

    The VFL has a bye next week, so giving Bedford a game at Casey makes sense. 

    Something I do not understand with the fixtures AFL/VFL.

    This week we play on Sunday over in the West and Casey plays the same day against North in Melbourne. we will need to take 4 players over as emergency reserves so they will not be able to get a run at Casey.

    Next week we play North in the AFL and both Casey and North VFL teams have a bye... am I missing something?

    The emergencies that travel across to Perth will therefore miss two week of matches.

    Please tell me that somewhere this makes sense. Have I read it wrong?

    Seems like the timing of the Casey game and the following bye is a factor for players like Bedford, Weideman and Laurie with the aim to get a full game in prior to the bye. Hopefully Weideman puts his best foot forward without Brown in the team to keep pressure on McDonald. 

    As pointed out, the emergencies in this game are likely to miss two weeks of footy unless they get elevated to the seniors.

    Good call giving Weed some game continuity

    WC team is not as bad as people are saying - around 14 first 22 players are there.

    West Coast ins and outs are confusing. Who are these people?

    That west coast team 🤭

    Their spine of Barrass, McGovern, Kelly, Darling, Kennedy is impressive on paper. They're not missing many from their best 22. NicNat, Yeo, Shuey, Rioli, Allen and Cripps are the only ones that come to mind.

    As Goody says, you need to respect the opposition. It wasn't long ago that opposition supporters would have been mocking our line-up.

    Finally Bedford gets dropped. Sick of this guy getting 0 touches a game week after week without consequences.

    I feel sorry for Declan Mountford, whoever that is. Imagine getting dropped from West Coast right now.

    The way the Eagles have played they haven’t earned much respect this season: we really should be flogging this very weak looking line up

    I thought I saw some information that Hurn was being rested this week, but I see he's been named.

    Agree.

    Tomlinson a late in for lever, Melks the sub.  Not sure why Mitch Brown is in the squad.

    On paper West Coast still have some really good players. I know they are all mostly past it, but gees they shouldn’t be so bad.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
