what’s going on with Tayla?!

 Late change. It was gonna be Campbell out.

Apparently Tayla hurt her hammy at training.

    Shame about Tayla. We all know what happened last time she missed!

    Still, we've never been in a better position to try to cover her.

    Harris hasn’t looked her best so maybe good to have a spell. 

    needs to get the anger back

    Just read hamstring for Tay Tay on one of those news sites. Picked up at training this week - anyone know anything - do we need to freak out

    Unfortunately I won't see the game - I'm still blinded by the sunset at Frankston on Friday night. 

    That was shocking on TV to try and watch. Not a good time to schedule a game. And top it off the camera crew must have been the work experience kids that day, so often they were no where near where the ball was when filming the game.  it was off to the right or left of the frame out of sight so often.

    She was fine at training on Tuesday till right at the end when she lay on the ground and one of the trainers started working on her leg, giving it a bit of a stretch and test.  Hopefully it's not too bad...... 🤞

    Losing Tayla is bad news, hopefully it will be just the one week, we definitely want her back for the next game against Adelaide.

    One concern I have for the Geelong game is that it is our third short week (six day break) in a row.  The men often say two short weeks is a problem.  It's not a question of fitness and running out of steam, but compounded short recovery time takes the edge off - you aren't as sharp, reflexes a bit slower, etc.

    Geelong only have 5 days between games, so hopefully it is not a huge issue.

    Game day! Looking forward to this one. Great way to kick off the long weekend.

    The boys struggle in Mordor but I back the girls to get it done this evening. Geelong have improved as their results show but we’re a step up in class for them. They’ll challenge early but our quality will tell in the finish.

    dees by 25 points.

    If you are looking for the match on Fox Footy 504, it's not there. Nor is it on 503.  As I was hyperventilating,  I spotted it on 505!

    A rare occurrence, but much happier now. This men's GF build up is so disruptive to us true believers. 😈

    For those of us that can't make it.

    As I understand it history has tended to show, at least with the men, that a single five day break is not usually a problem, but consecutive six day breaks can be.  Hopefully, though, all will be well.......

    Im very pleased for you, Viper. You're in for a treat, even if the result doesn't go our way (wash my mouth out!) Do some barracking for me, then, you and the offspring, while I'm laid up here on the other side of the planet.

    Why would you say even if the result doesn't go our way?  The treat  is our magnificent form and if we get beaten the treat most likely won't be a treat!!

    Part of the same character trait that kept me being a Dees supporter for those 57 years!

    Crikey! Really? (not that I should be letting this tawdry aspect of modern sport into my appreciation of the still relatively pure experience of women's football and our glorious team in it...)

    • 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.
