    Agree, if we need a perfect run with injuries to win, then maybe we are not worthy.

    Well, all this does is create opportunity for someone like Tom Sparrow.

    I've been hard on him of recent because I haven't felt he has taken the next step as I thought he would.

    If there was an opportunity and chance to really take the next step and show everyone what he's got then it's now. There's some big midfield minutes there for the taking and it's up to Sparrow to grab it with both hands now.

    Why didn’t we ‘manage’ our best players during that period?

    Clarry has barely missed a game in 6 years. hardly needs resting. plus we lost the bombers and almost lost to GC so not sure we have the luxury of resting

    Next month will be a shambles and a window into the next few years unless Goodwin wakes the [censored] up and recruits another top mid in trade period.

    Some hysteria abroad. Pathetic.  I'm sure the team has more bottle.

    Just reported it on 9 news as well

    Feel like this will get swept under the rug during the weeks.

    This smells of when we sent Joel Smith back out with a strained groin in a nab game back in 2019 and ended up missing the year because of further damage.

    This is not the end of the world. You can't replace an Oliver, but a bit of adversity never hurt anyone. The 22 who take the field on Saturday will know they'll have to give everything they've got to cover the loss of Clarrie. They'll be switched on and crack in.

    Then we are not competing for the flag. If we cannot rest one of our galaxy of stars - then we cannot lose them to injury - and that is an excuse.

    They don’t get that from me. I expect to win this Saturday.

    Sparrow was badly missed on Friday night. He does a lot of work off the ball to help Trac and Clarry. His absence meant that Port could shut down Viney, which they said was a tactic post match, and it left us very vulnerable in the middle. 
    People underestimate his role. I’m glad he’s back this week. Just sucks that Dunstan is injured! Rubbish timing.

    All clubs lose good players. Challenge is to see if we are a good footy club or not.

    I feel for Dunstan big time.

    Clarry out with hammy, Tracc playing with proppy ankle.

    This will be a massive test of Goodwin's coaching

    I’m actually ok with this. I hated Friday night but this group needs to HTFU and grind out some wins. They’ve got it in them and I’ll remain a believer until I’m not. Go Dees.

    Port just rolled us with 5 of their 22 out

    hopefully the midfield can pull their finger out and play some solid hard running defence. Saints win how many games with 8-10 of their first 22 out.

    my main point is a 25yo gun doesn’t need resting. injuries happen

    of course we have to win on Sat. we have Harmes, Jordon etc to come in

    I’d like to see Brayshaw , Kozzie and Rivers get extended runs in the middle to help cover the loss of Clarry

    Bring in Howes or Disco, and play Rivers in the midfield. Rivers has form and confidence. Howes and Disco have good consistent form at Casey.

    Get Angus to nullify Andrew. That will go a long way to beating Freo.

    No.

    I'm not accepting the season is over one bit.

    Dangerfield missed 6 games last year and that did not stop them going on a full blown winning streak without him.

    Accept it at your own peril, cool. 

    I won't.

    • 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.
