8th. If we lose, we'll be 9th (Adelaide won't lose to Hawthorn).

Of course, if we win, we could be 3rd (Coll/Ess winner 1st, St Kilda/Carlton winner 2nd - we can pass St Kilda if they lose and we pass their percentage).

The season is alive with all possibilities,   but much better to win

 

Given the emergencies, I reckon Oliver is right to play.

If he was doubtful, Harmes would be a better bet than Dunstan, as the most likely of the emergencies, to replace Oliver.

I know Harmes wasn't named in the squad but neither was Schache.

Today's Casey game should give a good indication as to who the sub will be.

    As much as I've always liked seeing a team named in position, they may as well just post the selected squad in alphabetical or jumper number order these days.

    Shortest to tallest.

    Was it Jack Dyer when Richmond's captain or coach who told his team mates to "line up alphabetically by height"?

     

    (Which makes sense for our two Smiths and two Turners).

    • Haha 4

    Jack Dyer is also purported to have have told his players at training to pair up in groups of three.

    • Haha 6

    Jack Dyer was a classic 

    I remember on MFC game when he said around ¾ time “ O’Derwiyer* has had a pretty quiet game today” to which his fellow commentator said “Jack - he isn’t playing today” 

    *our #1 Strawbs, Jimma #37/11 partner in crime. 

    • Haha 4

    Team looks a lot better with Max, Lever and Hibberd back in!

    Schache as the sub, giving us something to fall back on either forward, back or ruck seems a good option, as we are going in one tall down in the forward line!

    This is a vial win game, anything less that 5 goals will be poor IMO. We should do the same as the cats. Of course we won't not in our DNA.

    What? Find a weirdly shaped home ground where only 5 Richmond supporters can get in, have half their team out and then thrash them?   A win by any amount will suit me. (Though the more the better.)

    Geelong’s ground is vial shaped. Maybe that explains it.

    Please, please, please, play football like you are the hunters. Take the game on, play fast attacking football. In other words, smash ‘em.

    Watched the Saints win today. Also watched Casey lose despite all of the AFL talent in the side. The Saints showed true desperation at the coal face and a commitment to run all over the ground. If our boys bring that desperation tomorrow night and they are willing to run, run, run, we’ll win. But if we think superior talent is the key, we’ll drop another game.

    Thinking of catching the train in with the kids tomorrow night. I used to have some of the Myki cards but I think they've all expired - does anyone know if there is an app you can use to purchase train tickets? Not really keen on purchasing more Myki cards as I probably use them once every 2 - 3 years.

    In most cities yes. But in Melbourne you must have an android phone https://www.ptv.vic.gov.au/tickets/myki/mobile-myki

    Really worried about this one. Not overly confident because at the end of the day it's Richmond. They've won't 3 premierships in this era and still have high quality premiership players running around.

    Thanks Demonsaw, very useful. Do you know whether I can have multiple tickets on the same device? E.g. one for me and each of the kids who don't have their own mobile phone. I couldn't find any info re this on the FAQ.

    You can have up to 10 separate myki cards on the one device.

    Also, your expired cards can be replaced at no cost and the balance (if any) can be transferred to the new card/s.

    Understandable, but if the midfield performs we should get over the line.

    Me too. Really concerned about our forward setup. A couple of weeks ago, Brown and McDonald were our key forwards. Neither could impact VFL today. So what do we have tomorrow night? JVR playing his, what, 4th game. Who else? May, who leads our defence, has looked very ordinary (injured?), Lever not at full fitness, Petty lacking all confidence. And a midfield that turns up when it wants to (Oliver excepted).

    A big if. And if they do, who is kicking the sausage rolls?

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
