Turner for May is obvious. McVee comes in, I'd make the change for Sharp, but then not sure who gets the sun. Melksham perhaps.

Not sure Sharp deserves to stay in

Personal reasons?

I reckon I know what it is. I’ll DM you.
 

Sorry but fritsch does not deserve a recall after 1 game.

Tomorrow night I better see him chase, not be selfish & not get in the way of other forwards

    Good changes, Fritsch and Melk have never worked inside the same fwd line. But fritta still has to perform or he is out again.

    I do like our fwd line with just 2 talls, especially if we can play like we did v the dockers!

    Can't say I'm thrilled about it either. Not because I don't want him back but we need to set standard of work rate in that forward line.

    Hope he brings it.

    Good changes.

    Only missing 1-2 from the 22 now

    Having Bowey, Windsor, Lindsay, Kolt, McVee, Langford, Pickett in the same team makes a HUGE difference.

    Skill, pace, youth

    One win can make a big big difference

    After strong Round 6 showings, the Dees and Tigers are set for a blockbuster clash, in front of a sell-out crowd. 

    from MFC website, still lots of tickets don’t think it will be close to a sell out??

    Fritta getting dropped was about giving him a kick up the [censored], it was never about him kicking a bag in the magoos

    Thrilled our forward line savant is back

    No idea if he can actually play but having AMW in that mix would be fun

    Would've liked Melk in to tag Vlastuin, and stop the intercept mark, less of an issue with Balta hamstrung by the ankle bracelet after dark.....

    Fritta a perfect opportunity to stand up now!

    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.

    Fritsch, was disinterested and lazy last week and he gets a call up???? PARK ME club is rewarding mediocrity NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

    I guess we will see if Fritsch has learnt anything from getting dropped despite not having to earn his spot back in the vfl first. Hopefully just the fact he knows he’s not an automatic selection will be enough. I hope Goodwin has the balls to send him back down if he still has his bad habits.

    With Melksham being managed not ommitted who do you suggest be promoted in the role that Melksham plays or should I take a guess? No forward looked worth anything at Casey last week based on what I saw but a role needs to be filled and the Fritsch will know if he does not perform he will be back out with Melksham back the following week. He should be given a defensive job on Vlaustin and be purely assessed against his ability to execute it.

    I am with you played 3 quarters of poor football at Casey and back in. He had better get a couple tomorrow night.

    He cannot play that role, there is a hardly a defensive bone in his body.

    Why would you play him down back he would be a disaster.

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
