    another memorable draft deal done by the Tigers comes to fruition:

    Benny Cousins, Chris Yarran....Who's Next

    Richmond's recruiting over the last 10 years could well be worse than ours, and i say that in all seriousness!!

    But they did get rid of Vickers, so that's a plus.

    Very true.

    It won't however stop me from hanging it on my Tiger supporting mates.

    As weird as it is to say, Vickery will genuinely be a loss to the Tigers.

    The Tiges have come through a period where they overrated their list.

    They were good enough to make a few finals but not to win one.

    They've made some poor decisions, they overpaid for Yarran (I thought so at the time so this episode has no bearing on my thoughts) and Hampson to name a couple.

    ...but their biggest mistake was in re signing Dimmer. They were too scared and scarred to make the move they should have made a couple of years back.

    Balme will add some stability but will he have enough time to turn them around?

    The Tigs may rise slightly up the ladder this year and next, but will plummet back down near the bottom for an extended period, because outside of Rance, Reiwoldt and Martin their list falls away terribly.

    Prestia is an unknown, but his injuries won't allow him to get back to where he was prior to them, Cotchin is a shadow of his former self, and the coach and FD (not to mention the board) clearly overrates their list.

    I will be amazed if they haven't already begun their plummet..The warning lights have been flashing hard core since they lost the final to Carlton...

    will be an interesting watch.

    Their list is putrid. You don't win finals with 1 gun defender, 1 gun midfielder and a bunch of mediocre mids.

    And tying up 8% of your salary cap to one midfielder is idiotic beyond belief.

    Looking good for Spooners !!

    'He spent the off-season working through a tailored program with personal trainer Tom Couch'

    It would appear that the program consisted of running from the local bakery to KFC and back. Perhaps it's a typo and 'Tom Couch' should read 'The Couch'

    My Carlton mate said he was finished 2 years ago, so you wonder how these recruiting blunders are made..The Tigers paid top dollar

    I mean if they had picked him up at 85 in the draft it wouldn't be an issue

    Punt Road must be going off with anger tonight and rightly so

    Why would they do that? They've got their saviour in Prestia. He'll solve all their problems!

    At what point did Richmond realize the extent of the issue? If this has been going on for a length of time, surely you cut your losses before the trade season. Mind boggling.

    Don't wish to admit defeat i guess, inside the club though you would expect a few heads to roll.

    He was never going to play i was told, via Carlton mail..

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
