I love a good priority pick as much as anyone, but today's game was one of only a handful where we actually had a chance of winning, so yes, I was very keen for a victory.

It's nice for the young boys, and in fact for the whole team, to get a reward early in the season and a bit of a boost. It validates their hard work, and it gives supporters hope.

From here on in, we have a very tough run of games and the possibility of winning before the mid-season break is slim. So enjoy today, and cherish it. It's going to be a long while before we get to celebrate another win.

Perfect time for a win.

Gets the monkey off our back, keeps all media focus firmly on richmond and freo.

We needed a early win to get the membership tally up to 30,000.

I'm all for the 'list managment' approach too, but we really do have a fairly harsh run for awhile.

Hooley Dooley. We're in for a rough one. Even the Eagles match will be tricky. Without Green against the Crows, even at the G, will be a tough one too. The others, forget about it.

For mine, I was starting to get prickly at the suggestion we wouldn't win a game. Now with that taken care of, the people who opened their big traps (Newman, BT etc etc) will now look like prize gooses having been proven wrong within a week. The current 22 deserved a win as their endeavour over recent weeks (for the most part) has been top-notch. A few ugly injuries, as well as some horrible skills have contributed to their troubles.

Hopefully this plays us into some confidence. Particularly guys like Sylvia who surely now must notice that when they put in, they not only get results, but they can be largely responsible for a win.

Agree. When I saw Jimma mark the ball in the cheer squad after the goal, full of emotion in front of 40,100 -odd. (which should of been 48,000 if Richmond supporters were fair dinkum) I thought, we'll win this.

Loved it when Rivers sledged a toiger for squibbing it too.

I'm sorry, but did anyone actually see Adelaide play last Saturday night? I've a strange feeling we'll be right back down to Earth in a week's time. That's not to say I don't want us to win, though.

They are coming on to our home turf.

We will smash them from he get go.

With a rejuvenated Moloney, Sylvia , McLean and Jones, the Crows wont know what hit them.

I more than anyone love a high pick especially pick 1 and 2 if we dont win more than 4 games. BUT I think so much came out of the win today. I personally forgot how good the feeling was when we win. all the players needed and lift and need to know how good it is when we win. The clubs spirits will be higher and the younger players now will have even more drive to be succesfull. In saying this we still wont win 5 games this year. But after the match i realised a win for the boys was definantly a good thing. GO deess :rolleyes:

A bit of a show against Adelaide.

Me? I want to do the Dogs.

That's a mission statement.

If we lose a priority pic so be it - winning is what counts. I "barracked" against us round 22 a few years back for the Sylvia/McLean double. It's a rotten feeling.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
