Hopefully nothing too serious for Jack. He's been excellent this year so far.

    For sure! Hopefully everything with the fitness program is all good and we don’t have any mass disasters!

    Anyone have any idea if Viney is a proper hammy or just tight/precaution?

    Hamstring awareness usually means tightness

    You've genuinely got to be [censored] kidding me right?

    We pick a bloke off the back of not playing last week being an emergency, over guys like Bedford who had the perfect opportunity to play consisten game time at AFL level. Even if it was Bailey Laurie to get a taste of AFL action.

    But no, we select a guy that's going to be 31 this year and we'll past his best at AFL level.

    Genuine [censored] selection and it's been obvious that Goody has been trying desperately hard to get his Essendon mate a game this past few weeks.

    Opportunity missed.

    Take it easy. You do know Melks plays for us, right? Maybe redirect that disdain to players of opposition sides.

    Because he's the obvious replacement & in good form.  Harmes is predominantly a tagging on baller who can kick handy goals.

    Don’t really understand why we’d go with the Melk unless it’s to nurse him to 200

    Me neither

    Mellks isn't anywhere near Harmes output enduance nor defense

    A very poor bewildering selection

    At least if he has a poor day that will be the end for him

    That's pretty unfair.  And its hardly bewildering as his form at Casey has been excellent playing on ball & fwd and he was solid when he filled in against Hawthorn.

    And I doubt they will drop him on 199 games.

    The Melksham inclusion can be justified and equally,  the MC might want to see if Jake can recapture his best form ... so he gets his chance because of injury

    And against North, he'll get every chance to stand out and excel

    If he strikes form, we've got another nice problem 

    For all our speculation, we generally haven't had to leave out a player who is performing well in the seniors.  It nearly always seems to work out well, Franky (mystery ailments, covid, suspensions, long term injuries etc)

    Apart from the GF when Jordon was the sub, Hunt missed out and Jones & Jetta just couldn't break back into the team.  Or Melksham for that matter

    I wish Jake well today and I really hope he stands out

    We’d all like Jake to play a great game it’s just on recent evidence it’s not likely…guess he was OK against the Hawks even though that easy set shot he missed in the last qtr annoyed me

    Missing Salem, Viney & Harmes from best 22. Melksham, Dunstan & Jordon as depth.  Though Jordon had shown he is more than capable and having another good year.

      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.
