Also tempting to bring the riv back, take sparrow out and slot Gus at HF. We are desperate for classy kicking forward of centre.

McDonald is done for the year

    If TMac is really done for the season then bring in Weid and play him for at least the next 6 games.  He's been better than BBB, and offered more than M.Brown, but time to see if he will really make it and not change him in and out all the time.

    Petty is injured, so is TMac.

    Ins: May, Rivers, Weid

    Outs: Petty ( rest), BB, Hunt

    We May have to look at blooding a couple of the kids.

    I like all 3. We have to play Dogga or Max in f50 all game. Daw can chop out #1 ruck until Bbb finds some form.

    M Brown miles better than Weid

    Tommo a better option than Petty in sticky tape

    Watched the VFL today and only Rivers Baker and Weid played well enough to get a call up.

    I said last week that Sparrow had a poor game and wouldn't get dropped but tonight he was as bad as I've see him play.

    I'd drop him personally. 

    Dropping Ben Brown is the easy option but there is no way bringing in Sam Weideman improves us at all. If anything it makes us worse because he's he's not an AFL standard player time and time again.

    I have no idea what the changes will like, but I can easily reel off 5 names I would drop straight away.

    People are either entrenched in their anti-Weid glasses or didn't go to the game if they honestly think Ben Brown should stay in ahead of him after tonight.

    Agreed, Max is undoubtedly the better forward, but unfortunately he is also about three times better than Jackson in the centre. I'd probably play Jackson forward unless Daw is a complete liability in the ruck. We need two Gawns.

    Brown has about 100 good games up on Weideman. Even when out of form Brown still takes away the best defender. He is that much better than Weideman ever has or ever will be. 
    Having said that, Mitch Brown is a bad bandaid and we need to bring Weideman in and let him play the year out with BB because there are no other options.

    Sparrow is Weid 2.0

    A good finals series but ultimately not AFL standard

    Brown was shi te

    But Weide was shi te last week, and somehow managed plenty of lead up possession in the Casey game... ??

    Honestly,  I cgaf if it was BBB or Weid next week, but M Brown and Fritta provided the options tonight

    Ben Brown has been poor nearly all year. Take off the ginger goggles.

    History of good games means absolutely nothing.

    Mitch Brown did nothing tonight mate, and for a bloke with 'fresh legs' he was as stationary as anyone in the forward line.

    When was the last time Weideman wasn’t poor playing senior footy? 2018? 
    Weideman commands 0 respect from the opposition. You drop BB and suddenly Fritta has to play on a FB twice his height.

    How did McDonald go from being selected to out for the season? What’s the source on his injury?

    Well. I’m not panicking as much as you all. That was a 50/50 game just like the swannies game last year. A few umpiring decisions change and so does the result. 
     

    We are 10-2 and have a lot of improving to come. 
     

    In: the best defender in the comp, a Salem and Harmes with a game under their belt  

    Out: poor old Tomo

    We will beat the Pies by our usual 2-3 goals. Hope you lot turn up to the game.

    Probably when he kicked 3 against the Tigers in round 6, or maybe when he kicked 4 in round 3...

    Here's a brief comparison for this year of that 'historically good' Brown vs the 'disrespected' Weid.

    GOALS
    Brown 1.7 Weid 1.5

    MARKS
    Brown 3.2 Weid 3.2

    TACKLES
    Brown 0.6 Weid 1.2

    DISPOSALS
    Brown 8.1 Weid 8.2

    CONTESTED MARKS
    Brown 0.8 Weid 1.3

    It's bizarre how people stick to their perceptions now matter the factual evidence. Brown is badly out of form.

    Is there any veracity to this claim beyond a rumour from the gameday thread alleging TMac told some random spectator at the G that he was having surgery and would be out for the year? Seems an unusually detailed set of information to relay... 🤔

    • 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.
