Having listened to Selwyn's report, I reckon there is a chance Campbell comes in for Fullarton too. Seems Campbell was clearly managed with an eye towards Thursday night....

Could be four changes: IN: May, McVee, Fritsch and Campbell. OUT: Turner, Howes, Melksham and Fullarton.

I'd be highly surprised if Campbell comes in to the seniors. Casey play Thursday morning, also off a 5 day break, so probably making sure he's right to go and not miss any footy at the lower level.

 

At this point any return involving Steven May shouldn't be headlining the nightly sport report.

AFL site has them both as starters mate

I was going by Goodwin in the presser, who said “We won’t know until tomorrow…he’s still got a few things to get through today and tomorrow but we’re hopeful”.

    Sorry to go off topic, but your mention of that is what makes me so mad about the way they do the TV broadcasts. I'd like to see a wide shot as soon as someone marks the ball or gets a free. Instead we get a close up of the player with the ball. I don't care if he shaved that morning, I want to see what's ahead of him FCS!

    Touché.

    I too would love a down the ground shot prior to every centre bounce and kick in at least.

    Who gives a stuff if a player is smiling or scowling - give us some idea of the player’s options. Who has made space or made a lead??

    Why not?


    As I posted earlier

    1. stop Taranto & Hopper at the contest.

    2. Stop the distribution of Vlastin and Short out of their defence.

    AFL UPDATE - Richmond

    Best ave metres gained: Jayden Short, 458.33m (24th overall)
    Top 5 players: Jayden Short (24th), Nick Vlastuin (39th), Tom Brown (76th), Jack Ross (92nd), Tim Taranto (142nd)
    Best game in 2025: Nick Vlastuin, 661m gained v GC, R6

    I'm finding Richmond hard to read this year, but they're a lot better than first anticipated.

    They've had 2 stirring wins, 3 ten goal + losses and an honourable loss to Brisbane. All over the place and who knows which version we'll get tomorrow night.

    I do expect them to fall away in the second half of the season.

    Well, I hope we get the poor version as coming down from Brisbane with 2 Sons and Twin Grand Sons to watch first Anzac Eve game live. In fact, first time at G since our stirring win against the Cats in QF back whenever. Making it a Footy weekend as going to Magpies/Bombers then Saints/Lions before returning home Sunday. Trust the Demon faithful will be out in force tomorrow night and looking forward to a good win.

    The Brisbane loss was a thumping until Brisbane put the cue in the rack late. But your point remains.

    My view is pretty clear - if the Round 6 version of us shows up, or even the Round 1 version, we’ll be ok. But if the Rounds 2-5 version shows up, we’ll be beaten, and IMO pretty well.

    Windsor was graded as careless conduct, low impact, high contact (he did get him in the head with his shoulder albeit not hard), which by the grading system is a fine.

    Ok cool. No worries.

    Bailey Smith should be graded as intentional conduct, low impact, high contact.

    By the current grading system, that’s a week, because it was intentional and high.

    What team does he play for again?

    I actually think Richmond’s backline is still really decent with Vlastuin and Broad being two good backs with Banks and shortShort roaming around and Miller to an extent. Can add Trainor who will be very good. Hopefully we don’t go back to putting the ball inside 50.

    If Richmond create that pressure we may go back into that whole but we need to be patient and handball our way out of it.

    Club says Melksham has been “managed”, doesn’t refer to the cut on his knee.

    Billings, Howes and AJ the emergencies. No Campbell.

    Not sure about Fritsch getting an immediate recall after a so-so VFL performance.

    Saying that, if we play like we did against Freo, Fritsch will be one who'll highly benefit.

    I like these changes. As ‘like for like’ as we could get, while maintaining team balance and selection integrity, after a great win vs Freo.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
