I’ve had some bad doses of man flu as well.

But if Clarry is training as reported (away from the group), it can’t be that bad.

That’s what I thought as well. Did I also hear that he actually showed up to training as well? I mean if you have the flu, you ain’t getting out of bed, let alone  rocking up to training.

    It's a home game so should have GA access on your membership.

    One can just tolerate the GA seating allocated to members, but if you get up for a coffee or snack, or even go outside of the ground for a cigar (and your chauffeur delivering the cheese platter from the the boot of the Roller in the car park), whatever seat you initially chose will be gone and those selected by no-one will be the only vacancies. It would be most acceptable if in future football seasons the MFC demanded first-level frontal seats for Members GA (instead of FA) entry. We could all get together, then, and swap French bries, camemberts and other acceptable nibbles for the upwardly mobile citizens without flaw.

    You show excellent taste Deemania and obviously understand the laws governing the status of the riff raff.

    You would be a fine citizen of Romsey.

    Great looking team on paper this week really should win pretty easily (assuming Gawn and Oliver are ok)

    McDonald dropped?

    Must mean Petty is going forward again. 
    I guess no Lynch for the Tigers and Lever back is allowing us to do that. 
     

    My guess is also that Gawn will play most of the game at FF. Lowers the risk with the knee injury and gives us a proper focal point up forward.

    Good to see Jordon in the 22.

    An interesting group to choose a new sub from:  Laurie, Schache, Dunstan, D. Turner...

    Thought the same thing Jaded. Petty, JVR and Max must be the tall forwards. I like it. Lots of marking strength in that group.

    Good opportunity for JVR to take control of the forward line. 

    Will be interesting to see how he goes about it. 

    Good luck young fella.

    If McDonald can't hold down a spot with BBB out he must just about be heading for the exit. Not sure of his contract status, 1 year?

    Weird....Thursday TMac named in team and Schache can't make squad

    Saturday... no TMac and Schache named as emergency

    Perhaps TMac’s back is stuffed from copping a knee in it last week

    God Tom Sparrow is a cat with nine lives..

    Dropping Tmac was the right choice. It had to be done and I think unfortunately for him he just spends his days at Casey unless we're smacked with injuries.

    Don’t quite understand that logic, we are playing tall forwards made up of 2nd year player in van rooyen, a resting ruck and a unproven key back swinging fwd. All over a dedicated key fwd who kicked 4 goals only 2 games ago. Sure Tmac isn’t the bees knees but that lineup is asking for trouble.

    • 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.
