    So Harmes is effectively omitted? Can’t say I understand that. Or is he still injured?

    A victim of circumstances is all. He’s unlucky, but you also can’t punish the players who got the job done so well last week.

    Great team....Only 2 missing from our premiership side. Melk n Hunt replacing TMac n Harmes.

    The problem being that we've tried, struggled and ultimately failed, to replace one of those  all year!

    Drink a bottle of glysophate or a bottle  of scotch.  The scotch is more deadly. But both will kill you.

    Thought Weideman could hold his spot but Brownie in is ok and Weideman can have his jets cooled with three to go before the main stuff.Long weeks to go yet. Like that Melksham is getting regular times to get his spot and movement  cemented and will be harder at it this week too.

    No Adams really hurts the Pies. Their midfield is like the opposite Melbourne, heaps of runners with now no inside bulls

    Keeping mostly a winning side, will really make those trying to get in to go harder and make those that are there to do the same. 
    and they are rewarded for playing the rôle assigned to them, without worrying about the number of kicks they might get. 
     

    I like it……..winning each week

    Never lies, often misleads… 

    We play this game three times, we win twice - but the other time…

    Yep. good move to bring in Brown in place of Weideman. Essentially the same team and structure as last week and that worked well. Harmes is unlucky but a similar situation to last season with Hunt getting injured and not able to get his place back because of his replacement's performance.

    Strong team with a lot of flexibility in the personnel and structures. If it plays with the same pressure as last week will get the 4 points.

    Want it to be a comfortable win... 4 goals +

    If it is going to be wet then BBB in for the weed isn't going to make much difference. Our smaller forwards are going to have to play well.

    Im hearing that the rest has really given him a boost - "haven't felt this good for 14 or 15 weeks". Hopefully that translates with some hard leading and a few snags. He is due for a halfa dozen isnt he?

    Don’t mind the one change as mentioned earlier reward for top effort, it will force Harmes and Bowey to work harder and stay sharp to force their way back in and likewise keep Melk and Hunt on their toes. Meanwhile van Rooyen and Thommo can keep playing great footy and be ready if needed.!!!

    I don't think BBB will ever be due half a dozen at this stage in his career. His best is behind him and you'd have to be playing a very injury depleted backline to see him get on an unencumbered lead that many times. If he's due for 3 or 4 then he will be the perfect piece we've been missing.

    So you're saying every $1.35 chance wins? Given the bookie's profit margin $1.35 is actually $1.40+ true odds. If every $1.40 chance won we'd all be millionaires.

    I think one thing, not that it's been missed, but hasn't been spoken of a lot is that Kozzie is back in goal kicking form. !1 goals in 3 weeks isn't it?

    • 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.
