Chandler deserves a gig ahead of Bedford.

I don't see how either is close to being AFL standard. Aside from being too short and light, they both have the uncanny knack of being where the ball isn't at AFL level.

Bedford at least has some leg speed, but he rarely gets to use it unless we are dominating out of the middle.

    Sadly I agree.

    Tomlinson will come in for Petty. Dunstan in for Oliver. Rivers in for Bowey. 

    If Bedford is out, then not sure who comes in ... hopefully Hunt.

    I'm stunned Melksham gets a gig over Dunstan who was recruited for this exact scenario.

    Melksham, ffs.  Hasn't played for 3-4 weeks and was a training cone last time he played.  This is a bad call,  he clearly has pictures of Goody

    No, I believe it’s the other way around. Goody must have the biggest mancrush on Melksham.

    So who replaces Oliver? Harmes must be having some on ball time.

    I always look forward to your reaction when Melksy is picked. It’s a constant source of amusement. 🤣 Thanksies!

    The team selection on paper is baffling and I would be surprised if we lined up .like this. Max has never been a success as a Centre half forward. Again I think we are 1 tall forward short. On previous experience, Melk will play a defensive role on Allir. I hope Harmes isn't down back because we tried that for a season and it didn't work. Good to see Rivers back and I hope Tommo has a great game.

    Gawn also never used to be able to kick goals, now his kicking goals after the siren and kicking 5 in prelim finals. Things change.

    I think they have picked Melksham to try and improve connectivity with the forward line.

    Trac, Viney and Harmes/Sparrow/Kozzie combo in the middle, possibly Brayshaw.

    Melks delivery inside 50 is usually pretty good as long as we can get it into his hands.
    Got to admit I thought once he got to game 200 there wouldn’t be a 201 but needs must. Now would be the perfect time for him to surprise everyone on DL

    Out of the selected team it's either Weideman or Chandler up forward in place of Bedford.

    Dunstan for Oliver

    Not sure between Hunt or Rivers for Bowey

    Never thought I'd say it but I'd give Weid one more chance.

    Petracca's 3 goals last week covered up an incredibly bad forward line performance

    PS I just realised that that the Melksham selection was real..... Speechless

    What does this mean? Serious question. If your preceding sentences are anything to go by it must be disparaging. But what exactly does it mean?

    edit: I just googled it. There’s five minutes of my life I’ll never get back.

    • 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.
