    nothing surprising.

    You just don't have blokes like mclean, yze on the emergency.

    Yze better get some kicks as i traded him from embley only for him to be a late withdrawal.

    You can expect a good percentage of them to be "off-the-ground jobs", especially if it gets damper. I mean you wouldn't want to get your glove wet would you. I can see it now. Blokes like Newton who tend to take the ball with one grab can still mark in wet conditions and for mine he would have yet been a valid inclusion.

    I'm going to see Sandy, Sunday anyway.

    I like Yze - but not as a replacement for Neitz

    I understand the "Its going to be wet, use less talls" approach

    but its not that wet out there, for a Melbourne Friday night in winter

    and our forward line is already short - Robbo will be the only tall - and i wouldn't even call him that

    Come on, spill... who do you know? <_< ;)

    Nothing surprising though. Hopefully Yze has a good game and we get to see Juice soon.

    Oh and BROCKY FOR CAPTAIN. That is the new bandwagon I'm driving tonight.

    He has nothing to smirk about (apart from the easy money).

    Yeah, I know about the groin.

    easy to pick on Ooze..how about picking on the big mouthed players who come out and spin shizen every week in the media then put up performances that the Hadfield under 9's girls team would be embarrassed about...

    "Going to see Sandy Sunday" - hope to hell that ND gets off his ass and goes for a Captain Cook too - may actually learn something, like MICHEAL Newton's name- ND ref p 43 MFC 2007 Almanac.

    " Yeah, I know about the groin." Did ND know about the groin??? If so why did he play him - if not, why not???

    The groin is alleged to have failed somewhat toward the end of the game. It's a good story any way. Yze was able to pass a fitness test but you'd be tempted to think that it may have only been just stringent enough for him to pass fit for selection.

    If an injury can pass an injury test, it should pass a game otherwise the test its gone through is crap and I don't care what level the test has been done at. If a person passes a medical and breaks down down, I blame the medical staff - no excuses

    i doubt he even had a fitness test. he has OP. of course he can run and kick but it causes a lot of pain. when uoi havnt used it all day and they say run here jump high, kick this it would feel a bit sore but manageable. when you start running at full intensity in a footy match it wuld degenerate pretty quickly. if hedidnt play for melb last night he wouldnt of played for sandy, he wouldve rested. he shouldnt have played, and if he isnt over the groin problem by the end of the year he should do the right thing and retire.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • 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.
