Good ins I reckon.

Pickett, Windsor and Spargo are all probably in our top five kicks and Turner player a blinder in the VFL.

Happy 100th to Spargs as well!

    If only Captain Parmenter were in the side.

    Four changes, so we can add Sergeant O’Rouke, Corporal Agarn and Chief Wild Eagle too.

    Fritta very lucky - last chance to impact the scoreboard or back to the magoos (if Goody has any selection integrity)

    What a gutless team selection, same old players get dropped

    MAKE A STATEMENT GOODWIN

    How can Fritsch still be getting a game, he was terrible last year and absolutely woeful in the 3 games so far this year, his body language is infecting the whole team.

    The poor buggers confidence is shot and would probably really benefit with some pressure off at Casey.

    Billings, Howes & Johnson will be back in in a couple of weeks along with Woey, where as Laurie will continue good form at Casey & never get a look in other than a sub. Why in Gods name was he given a 3 year contract & then not given a chance!!

    Goodwin once upon a time wouldn't play Fritsch as a forward even though we were screaming for it. Now we can't get him to get Fritsch out of the forward line even though he isn't even Coldstream seconds level at the moment.

    There's been plenty of bigger upsets than us winning this but my jaw will dislocate in shock if it happens.

    Laurie should be in for Spargo. Just don’t understand why players get a free run at playing seniors with little footy behind them. Laurie deserves a solid run at it.

    Laurie must be wondering what he has to do to get a game but Henderson and Sharp walk into the team and aren't playing very well

    We look a lot better on paper.

    Good changes overall, Billing Howes, AJ have been poor and deserve to be dropped

    Pace, skill and youth come in

    Add Lever, McVee, Kolt and Lindsay and drop the likes of Sharp, Hendo and we start to look pretty good

    I agree he has been down on form and has put in some poor efforts. But he kicked 41.23 in a poor team last year, so that is not terrible

    He finally started to get involved last week with 15 touches and 8 scoring involvements so to drop him would be not the best move for the team. Clearly guys like AJ were worse

    I agree on Laurie though

    Excuse my ignorance but am i correcting in thinking Spargo is replacing Billings?

    Different positions, different kinds of players. It would be Laurie for Sparrow, and doubt that’s happening anytime soon.

    True but I reckon Laurie could play at HF or small fwd or even wing. He bring better skills than Sharp

    Sparrow has been one of our few decent players this year so agree he won't be dropped

    Oliver on the pine. Surprising. I would have thought Petracca or Viney before him

    Wait do people think that these announced team lineup positions are actually the definite positions they start at on the day/night? Its just slapped together really. I doubt Sparrow starts on a wing either...

    Looks like Fritta has called Goody's bluff, he still getting a game in the seniors. A reason we are playing so badly is that the players have lost respect for the coach. Perhaps our CEO should put Goody on notice in the media.

    Melbourne to win by 24 pts ( in an alternative world) .Kangaroos to win by 23 pts.

    I’m driving down to Kitty-litter Park tomorrow with a couple of Geelong supporting mates. Banking on a win so I don’t have to hear their dribble on the way back.

    Spargo, Melksham and Salem. All we need is Lever to return and Goody will have all his favourites back together.

    Yeah, but I think Melksham is a good favourite. I expect him to lead the forward line with his verbal messages. Hope he finds form too.

    Agree, will be good to get Lever back and all our senior players out there

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
