Petty should be dropped. Rarely have I been so disappointed in lack of effort

    An even crack from the maggots would be a nice change.

    I've been saying the same for nigh on 12 months.

    His two kicks tonight included a Cats out on the full.

    Club should raise this at highest levels but won’t because club admin is amateurish

    Petty had a stinker, one of our key backs seem to every week. Could drop him, or could go 4 tall backs and move Rivers on ball.

    Sharp’s no good. Spargo should play a month at Casey so they can pick him for full games in form and match fit.

    JVR is just ordinary and not getting any better. I’d rather big AJ.

    Langford’s not ready.

    Viney continues to get worse.

    I’d probably go:

    Out: Sharp, Langford, JVR, Spargo

    In: Mentha, Lever, AJ, Laurie

    Sharp - omg

    Sparrow - Petracca’s mate, so won’t get dropped

    If all our players tried as hard as Sparrow we’d at least be a chance. He did his job tonight. Took Holmes completely out of the game. Until we get some reinforcements no way he gets dropped given we’re picking guys who have no impact and can’t even stick to a task.

    Petty has to be dropped for Lever.

    Spargo and Sharp both have to be dropped. They are both absolutely useless right now. Both need to go find some VFL form. I doubt Lindsay will be fit so we'll have to find two replacements and I don't want Billings to be one of them. Laurie maybe, but IMO he's in the same basket as Sharp, Spargo and Billings.

    Too early for Culley?

    He didn't just "do his job", he did a great job. The anti-Sparrow bias on here is embarrassing right now.

    Can't drop Langford. He does all the right things, even if he fatigued late. Our best last week, had a good first half tonight, is the future. I certainly wouldn't be dropping or even resting him if the replacement in your list there is Laurie.

    Oh yeah - his impact was profound

    Out: Petty, Sharp, Spargo, Fritsch

    Ins: Lever, Laurie, Billings, Fullarton

    I know the mere suggestion of Billings will be rebuffed. Maybe you look at Sestan or Mentha as well. Kynan Brown maybe gets another chance.

    Outs:

    Sharp - good lord never again. If Goodwin is fair dinkum, he never puts on a Melbourne jumper again.. ever.

    Spargo - What on earth are we doing here...any other club would let him rot in the VFL except us. This is one of the more bizarre team selections going around in my time supporting the dees with how much they rate Spargo over the past few weeks.

    Petty - Yo Adelaide.. can we do that trade??

    Ins:

    Lever and two suburban footballers that will have a genuine crack.

    I rarely think we ever lose a match at selection, nor do I buy into the "Goody picks his faves" conspiracy theory.

    But there's just no way I will be able to stomach seeing Spargo get another game. Not until he goes back to Casey and earns it. Right now he's a slow, possibly overweight, liability with no asset (don't tell me he can kick - that's useless if you can't get the ball in the first place).

    • 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.
