He obviously has the potential 

What’s with all the extra negativity OD? We’re only one round into the season. 

Anything you are excited to see on Sunday?

Aside from a win of course

I just don't see our side being as good as I thought we might be over summer. Seems we are back to relying on players who having proven to be B talents over last few years.

    add in May, Pickett and Windsor and things look a little different I think.

    I don’t really get too worked up about team selections. But it does do my head in a little bit watching a club pick a debutant as sub play them for a quarter then drop them. I just don’t think it’s fair on the player, I get it if there is no one else available but that wasn’t the case last week.

    Yes they are definitely problems. It's difficult seeing them back before the Geelong  game. Well Kossie won't be for sure.

    I very much doubt he’ll be sub. We need our best kickers with games in the tank. We’re trying to get better and develop synergy with a new plan. He’s absolutely part of it

    Spargo has been hugely underrated on here, although I sense the tide is changing and many are getting on the same page vis a vis his importance to our team.

    Looking forward to seeing him back out there.

    And happy with those changes.

    Langford is gonna be a gun, let him bang down the door at VFL level and get some continuity there. He doesn't have a position at the moment.

    Let Langford dominate at Casey for a Month and then bring him in absolutely cherry ripe. I'm a Spargo fan and I'm also a Turner fan. I'd also love Woewodin to work towards replacing Howes but I reckon he'll be the sub this week. I'd love for one or both of Woewodin and Laurie to take the next step. I fear it's unlikely but stranger things have happened.

    True OD we have had a lot of injuries so far, fingers crossed we can have a decent run for the rest of the year.

     

    Melbourne. unfortunately, have no gear change in them or any kind or secret weapon for that matter. whenever the opening siren sounds to signal the beginning of a last quarter. Kangaroos will go close here as they are not as bad as they used to be, and Melbourne are not as good as they used to be. Prediction this year for Melbourne is 13th place.

    Jeez Bro, remind me not to go to the footy with you. It'll be a little close for a half and then we'll smash North. Prediction for this year is Premiers or agonisingly close.

    The operative words being 'a little different'. Unfortunately, not a big enough difference, as most sides have figured out how to beat the Demons regardless of who is in the side.

    Kids get dropped. Some of you act like playing VFL is akin to punishment.

    Langford is going to be a gun but he is vying for minutes in the strongest area of our team. Even Rivers is struggling to get midfield minutes and he is beyond ready for that role.

    I think that Spargo might work well with Turner. Turner makes good position, Spargo is our best deliverer after Melksham: they might form a good combination.

    It's the continuation of the last half of last season that worries me. Ended last year with multiple losses and started this year with a loss. Some new players who look to be talented but still the same result.

    I’m personally happy a premiership player is regaining his form of old in a new position, hitting the scoreboard and cracking in with hard tackles but each to their own 

    Langford will get games when he earns them

    I'm a Spargo fan, he cracks in and is a good kick.  My only gripe is bringing him back underdone.   It happened last time and frankly he should play VFL for a couple of weeks.

    The best result for us is having Sparrow play good footy. Langford has plenty of time and the people in the know think he’s best served playing at Casey for a few weeks. Thats a fine result.

    • 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.
