Salem was non existent today & Bowey not much better, we need Hibberd imo, proven big game performer & our best lock down defender.

 

Salem had a hard tag on and Bowey played well, not sure what game you were watching.

    At the end of the day you really only want to make a change if you have too when you’re consistently winning & especially leading into finals.

    Tell Tommo that.........

    Words can’t describe just how pumped I am for this game. 

    Last time we played Collingwood in a final was 1989 at Waverley and we got the W.

    We also rolled them in the 88SF, a fantastic day at the G with a bumper crowd, some pre-game fisticuffs and the classic September Colliwobbles.

    I can't wait to play them again, I want to see Viney and Sparrow bulldozing them and knock them off their perch.

    Sorry I’m not trying to pick a fight, but you can’t be serious about Salem having a heavy tag, who & for what reason would he be tagged for, to stop those dinky little kicks 

    l also thought Bowey was a bit loose today

    They'll give the job to McVee and he'll do a fine job imo.

    We could play both him and McVee. Not suggesting we drop McVee but we might want to go smaller against the Pies.

    Salem has been non-existent for the last few months unfortunately. What's up with him?

    But who you are you dropping from our current defensive 6 for Hibbo?

    It can't be a tall because this is a set up that Goody has decided against since half way through the year which no coincidence that we got a run on with our wins since we started with the 3rd tall defender.

    Our defensive system is top 3 in most key defensive stats, its right up there in premiership credentials.

    If Goody likes a system that is working for us he'll rarely change it up or risk putting it out completely out of wack.

    The only reason Hibbo plays is if we lose Rivers, Salem or Bowey to injury.

    Oh god not this again. Hunter's fine. He's one of the last players they'd drop.

    In fairness, Gawn hasn't done much over the last two weeks since the Carlton game, being the sole ruckman..

    That's fine, he's still playing his role. That's all he needs to do.

    Goody has already admitted that Grundy experiment hasn't worked as what they thought it be, but again, that's fine. He'll only play if Gawn has to miss.

    Internal monologue “I [censored] hate that Hunter [censorino] rah rah and I have I have long running argument with my more successful brother in law about the Grundy trade so I gotta smash him in there, and also Hibbo for that one player I forget his name, and TMac because Grundy’s not going to take a mark soigottagethiminthere…rah”

    Unrelated but I used to like the Dana White UFC show 'Looking for a fight'. Thought it was pretty good and refreshing as Ultimate Fighter had gotten a bit boring.

    I think he’s a better kick, better overhead, can tackle, can tag, can go into the midfield & doesn’t duck his head.

    Please add May, Oliver and Fritsch to your outs to make this even more realistic.

    Do you think Melksham, Turner & Laurie will play?

    Hunter won’t get dropped I’ll admit that & Grundy won’t get another gig, it’s a forum so let’s not all get to angry over people’s opinions

    • 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.
