Absolutely spot on.

Jamar is bog ordinary and PJ is not good enough to usurp him. Its embarrassing.

A bad case of overrating our C graders again.

FWIW, Minson, Ottens/Blake (either), Fraser, Warnock are well in front.

What makes Warnock superior to the Russian & PJ. Has he beaten David Hille of Essendon hands down like Jamar did in Round 18?

    Firstly, Jamar nullified Hille in Round 18 and thats the sort of upside I would expect from Jamar. I have seen some earnest blanket jobs from Jamar last year but ge

    Jamar and PJ are 25/26. Neither are sort after by any Club. Warnock is 21 with 3 seasons and 20 games and a number of Clubs scratching after him. He is on the ascendancy while our two players are as good as they will ever get as ruckman.

    However even at this early stage, Freo have had a wonderful luxury of Warnock being back up to Sandilands. Its a pity it all breaks down for them after that (bar Pavlich).

    Fair enough but there are no guarantees that Warnock is going to turn out any better than our blokes. I have a feeling that unless you're in the champion class like Cox the ruckman's role is a bit overrated in our modern game - especially with 4 boundary umpires.

    Where did Cox get WCE?

    You need a ruckman who can be competitive against other ruckman to at least allow your better (ahem) midfield to win more possession. You are right though with the change in the rules and the nature of the game, ruckman dont a pronounced effect on a game like they used to. My concern is ours dont have any.

    • 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?
