    I really hope we can keep him fit, happy and playing for the rest of the year. With him and Pickett we look dangerous and unpredictable. 
     

    Fritsch Petty Pickett

    McAdam Petty ANB

    Chandler

    Thats a solid front half if they can get some games in

    Petty's that good he gets two guernseys. Pretty good. I guess that means he's staying. :P

    I would have to agree unless he is in peak physical condition, don't play him we should be good enough to beat the tigers anyway... we need Clarry at his absolute best again. It will create positive energy and confidence amongst the team seeing him at his peak, last week was not good for him or us

    Poor Spargs is clearly struggling with that Achillies injury.

    He's been listed as 3-4 weeks away since round 2.

    It’s clearly been decided that match-time is a key ingredient for getting him back to his best.

    So many of our players (and across the league) were obviously struggling after an intense period of the fixture, so early in the season. Clarry more so than the average player, for reasons known.  

    Assuming his hand is right enough, I think he’ll be better-off for those matches and a decent recovery period.

    Fair point, but he could hardly hold the footy last week, we were effectively one player down... would rather give someone else some experience against a lesser opposition, and get him cherry ripe

    Drop one of the Pettys and add JVR

    I assumed one of the draw cards of staying at Melbourne was playing with his brother

    Handy with Geelong and Carlton coming up that McAdam looks likely to play in those fixtures. I'd say that's what they targeted for his return from a ways out.

    I think with him fit, he's going to add a real potency to our forward half and push real pressure for spots. 

    Yeah bringing him back through the VFL this week, if he plays ok I'd expect to see him in for Geelong or Carlton at the latest if he has the fitness levels required.

    I am expecting McAdam to play the defensive forward role on interceptors like Harris Andrews, which frees Petty and Fritsch to attack. So even though McAdam will probably replace a Tholstrup or Billings, it's a different role.

    Good looking lineup if we can get them all working together

    That’s proving the hard part atm

    That's a very small injury list.  Maybe this Selwyn bloke knows what he's doing.

    Adelaide, by comparison, now has four players out for the season.  I forget who their fitness guy is.

    Charlie Spargo in a holding pattern.

    324 is the new 426.

    It's sounding a little more like it will be the latter, at best, Andy.

    On a brighter note, and while touching my head plus any other wood at hand, our injury list is starting to shrink to a fairly negligible level.

    I have almost zero faith that we’ll see much of McAdam ever at this club. He may string a few games together but my mail is he is extremely injury prone.

    Good judge on him going forward….did you think he could kick 3 in first go forward.

    The latter (Burgo)?

    An integral part of our premiership team.

    • 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.
