I really hope there is a genuine realization from the FD that Jordan is a much more effective, reliable player at the moment compared to Harmes. At least thats what this naive supporter believes

Hopefully, Harmes is either one of either sub, emergency or lines up for Casey. I hope everything with Harmsy is OK with possibly family member passing away. 

This. 

Hope his personal circumstances are okay, but I think we look elsewhere going forward unless Harmes magically turns it on at VFL level. 

He simply doesn't do the basics well enough, consistently enough and tries to be Petracca 2.0 too often. 

I'm actually looking forward to adding a top 10 midfielder into our group at the end of this year, will be refreshing. 

Thanks Freo!

    Wouldn't say Bowey was immense at all....

    He had 10 disposal for the night and played like someone who was overthinking it knowing that he spot was under pressure.

    You’re right, immense is overstating it. But he hit targets, moved the ball quickly and won one on one contests. Salem got dinky kicks that led to turnovers and couldn’t move, compete or tackle to his usual standard. Bowey should’ve been able to move better and complete his role better, would he? who knows?  but I think an unfit Salem was one of many mistakes we made in last years finals.

    In:   Pickett

    Out: Melksham

             Jordan

    Jordan (Sub)

    *Jordon.

    No way Jordon is is relegated to sub after the way he played last week. He was superb.

    Outs will probably come from the sore/injured guys BBB, Hibbo and possibly Lever and they'll re-jig the midfield for Kozzie.

    Don't worry layzie the dees don't do 100 point victories. 60 is the max IMO. 

    I'll take 60 this weekend.

    He (Bowey) may not have had many possessions, but I can't recall his opponent/s doing much. Which is a significant part of a defender's job. He's a ripper. 

    I worry about Salem's future. Bowey and McVee may have overtaken him.

    Any chance of a Blake Howes debut if Pig doesn't get up?

    Tomlinson should be next in pecking order he has done everything to stay in contention.

    Blake Howes had his best game last week but i would be letting him replicate that for few more weeks to be more AFL ready.

    One thing for sure about this match is I'm not going to know who half the Eagles players are

    Half! That's still about 80% more than I'll be able to identify.

    Does Collingwood, when they draw what is seemingly going to be a comfortable game, go through this " how much do we need to beat them by  to have satisfaction?" rubbish from some supporters?

    A lot gets said about how we never play WC in Melbourne but we gave up home advantage to play them in the NT in 2015 and 2019 so that's on us.

    Layzie was talking about the winning margin, OD, not the crowd size.

    Half the Eagles players won’t know who half the Eagles players are. 😁

    At least we get to play them at our home ground - Optus Oval :)

    I find that Bowza kick mesmerising. I just keep watching it over and over.

    Now he's seen Goody moving the magnets, I bet he wants Petty's place in the forward line and is auditioning

    Given how much joy they got out of multiple one point wins last year (or at least less than a goal in the dying seconds of the game) I'd say not!

     

    T Mac and Kozzi   IN

    Brown and Hibbo  OUT

    • 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.
