Due for big games from Langon, Hunter, Brayshaw, Salem and Fritta

Be great to hit our straps and have a strong performance from these 5

My big concern is defensive midfield

Hope Viney, Sparrow, ANB do a good job on their accumulators

We won’t and should not debut a kid as the sub. Especially the son of a former champion. It’s just not right. 

Romanticism should never come into play.

Too many of you folks get up in all of that and all the does is add unnecessary pressure on the kid.

Jordon simply shouldn't be a sub and it's obvious the Dees coaching ranks have thought real hard between JJ and Woey. So if that was the two options then Woey should be the preferred sub option for me.

What a [censored] game to include so many legs in multis on goalkicking!

Crucified.

It’s not about romanticism. It’s about a kid who has worked damn hard and deserves to be selected to play and have all the same bells and whistles that every other debutant gets. 


Playing one quarter as a sub will do nothing for him, nor will it tell us if he’s able to hold his own at this level. Most players can’t impact much as sub unless they’re very experienced or play a very specific role (eg Melksham).  Why would you make a debutant fight for another game by making them sub and severely limiting their ability to impact the game? 
 
He will get a game sooner or later and it’ll be done properly. I also don’t think there’s any need to debut a kid in such a massive game. It’s a lot of unnecessary pressure.

You literally brought in the " We shouldn't debut him as a sub because he's the son of a club champion".. lol

If he was the sub the coaches would be doing a great job reminding him that the sub role isn't purely for one quarter bit to expect to come on at any time. Expect the unexpected, especially when injuries could easily come in the first quarter.

It really isn't he worst option for a debut.

We have no idea whether there's any truth to these stories or not SU.

Wouldn't believe anything that comes out of clubland and personally i haven't for decades now.

And especially anything coming from the filth.

And I’m sure that feeling of feeling okay about it is a little bit anchored in the knowledge that as a ‘sub’ nowadays you can be inserted into the game at any time.

I’ve said the same thing about every player to make a debut, regardless of who they are or aren’t related to. Debuting someone in the sub role is a [censored] move and it’s why clubs rarely do it. 

That he is the son of a club champion that we treated like trash just makes it even worse that we would debut him as the sub. 

JJ is a good sub option as he can play multiple positions.

You honestly think Shane and the club actually take this into account 😅

Think the family would be super proud of Taj whether he's a starting sub or full game. This is about Taj, not Shane or a decision that occurred 21 years ago.....

Take young Tex Wanganeen for example. Made his debut as sub which upset many of their supporters, not least of all his dad. It’s got nothing to do with romanticism and everything to do with respect and confidence-building. A club’s mental health professionals can explain to a YOUNG person why being debuted as a sub isn’t a terrible thing but the fact that they’re YOUNG means it mightn’t have the desired effect.

18-year-olds are basically still kids. No one should expect them to react to anything like an adult would.

JJ will be sub and he's the right choice all around.

I hate the filth but for the life of me I can't see us winning. We are not playing good footy.

Not sure why, perhaps it’s the last time we had a 10 day break and really needed a statement win, but I’m hoping for a similar performance to that of round 15 last season when we smashed the Lions at the G.  It was one of our best performances of the year (up there with round 20 against Freo and round 23 again against the Lions) but unfortunately it was far better than the form we showed in the finals.  Now, as we are passed the half way mark of the season, things really gets interesting and we get to see if we truly have learned the lessons from last season and can correctly get everything peaking when it matters. So I hope tomorrow is a statement game, but only a hint of what’s to come.

I agree. I can’t see where the goals are going to come from. I think we will struggle to kick more than 60 points, which won’t be enough.

I can understand this. I live in hope that the challenge that the filth present will concentrate the minds of our players and will turn their collective form around.

Dees by 21points after a strong 4th quarter.

  • 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.
