LOL!  Goodwin said 'Oliver has been high maintenance in the first few days', wanting to play this week.

That's Clarrie!  Raring to go.  Not this week.

    Gus to the guts?

    Does anyone know what is the issue with Tomlinson, up to his injury a year ago he was good and now seems to have lost confidence. 

     

     

    Salem into the middle, bring in Hunt/Rivers. 

    Get Brayshaw into the guts.

    Wasn't it in Alice Springs against Adelaide 2018 that Brayshaw had 37 disposals and 3 goals?

    interesting stats from Goodwin's presser - we're 5th on the ladder for scores from f50 entries over the last three weeks, so things are actually working not TOO bad

    personally i don't want gus moved into the midfield - his best footy is played as a half-back interceptor

    I don't think Salem's knee is quite right yet. He seems to lack penetration in his kicking. For that reason, I'd leave him in the backline. I see three options to replace Oliver:

    1. Straight swap with Dunstan
    2. Brayshaw onball with Hunt or Rivers coming into the backline
    3. Harmes to the Oliver role and Neal-Bullen being added to the midfield rotations, thereby allowing Laurie to be selected for debut on the HFF.

    I'm guessing they'll go with the conservative option and pick Dunstan.

    Yes it was. And remarkably didn’t get the 3 votes that day.

    The 3 went to ANB on the back of a couple of “Joe the Goose” goals.

    They are not moving Gus into the middle. 

    They will bring in Dunstan to cover his place.

    From what I've seen of Tomlinson at Casey, he's lost his mobility. He can run in a straight line, but has the turning circle of the Queen Mary. At Casey, I'd imagine that he's been told to play the Steven May role, and organise the defence. But from I've noticed, he gets caught out of position too often. I wasn't surprised when Turner was given the nod ahead of him.

    With Turner and Joel Smith as depth, I'd say that we'd put him on the trade market, and hopefully another club remembers his good form prior to his ACL.

    Bit surreal not having the big red monster in the middle there, but I’d definitely give Gus and even Kozzie more time in there.

    We could also have Vines and Trac with the bulk of the time in there along with Harmes tagging Wines.

    I don't think so either. Was trying to think of reasons his field kicking could go so far off the boil and it would make sense. Chipped cartilage doesn't sound as straightforward recovery wise as something like a ligament strain. 

    But that's selfdiagnoseit.com talking..

    From what I've seen of Wines this year (have him in my Fantasy Team), we won't need to tag him. Port's most dangerous mid at the moment is Rozee.

    With Lycett out, we should field a taller forwardline and stretch them. Similar plan to how Freo dominated us in the air.

    Does anyone know what rozee's mid - forward split has aprox been in his last few games?

    He is exactly the type of forward we have struggled to cover since jets played his best footy in 2018.

    Is the last game Oliver missed also at Traegar park against Port?

     

    EDIT** I think that started his last injury layoff.

    I wouldn't assume too many would make the trip from halls creek to Alice...it's over 2,000 km.

    I actually thought he was from Fitzroy crossing...that's another 400.

    But it would still be great. I wish him well.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
