The good news is Richmond are currently being thrashed by the pies. I reckon if we can win then suddenly all the focus will turn to Hardwick.

I reckon Frawley can hold Riewoldt. Maybe Royal could prove he is a good midfield coach by working out how to shut down Martin, Cotchin and Deldio and there other runners.

I think we need to bring Tapscott back because he and Magner in there will at least provide some toughness. Tapscott doesnt back down at all and he was at least 1 positive last year.

Hopefully Clark can stand up again and it would be nice to see Jamar smash Maric. I reckon we can win but the players confidence is so low.

Or maybe not.

With that midfield, against ours, we're in for a tough afternoon.

The tigers will beat us by 10 goals minimum.

Wanna bet?

Their midfield: Martin, Cotchin, Foley, Deledio, Jackson

Our midfield: Moloney, Mckenzie, Magner, Bail, J. Tren.

Shazza turncoats to the Demons?

I've tipped a win this week. Unless a further destabilising event occurs this week, I'm sticking to it.

Yeah , it's better than even money that something will happen . Was thinking of starting a thread along those lines . Maybe we could all share a laugh thinking of some new ridiculous happening .

I'll have a go .

New revelations reveal that Mark Neeld has been leaving the "Match Day" coaching to Brian Royal . Mark , when quizzed on why this happened said "He's been knocked back for so many head coaching jobs , I thought I'd let him have a taste of the big time".

Brian Royal was unavailable for any comment . Sources close to the club reveal that Brian is happy to go back to coaching the midfield .

Cheers

And here lies the problem. I too think Richmond will win by 40+ points and yet last year we were a better team. Crazy.

Sacking Schawb and Connolly will see a tremendous improvement in our game IMO

I still think we can beat the tigers. If chippa beats riewoldt and someone else in our forward line (Does anyone else play in our forward line?) fires with clark we have a sniff. We need to tag more aswell. Neeld should know by now we are not collingwood so tag away.

Richmond will win by around 40 points, you can bank on it.

This. We cannot beat Richmond. We need to come to terms with the reality that we might give GWS a contest this year, but nobody else.

Richmond will win by at least 10 goals. Our team plan and implementation is abysmal. The players have no confidence at all in their own ability to win games or even to beat individual opponents.

The two players that usually fire up against Richmond are out. Sylvia saves his best game for the year for the Tigers and Jurrah usually gets a couple of goals. With both these guys out we will lose by 5-7 goals.

I'm tipping Richmond will better us by at least 2-3 goals a quarter, so my line is 48 points, and that is me being optimistic. Their midfield is too good for us, they also put in proper effort at periods during every quarter, where as we only do for maybe a little bit of the first half.

Going to be another ugly one unfortunately.

How can you come back from that kind of caining - they will be riddled with doubt and really there is only two players in form. Richmond are hungry and will smash us.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
