Go and read the Richmond bigfooty page

My god they are cocky [censored] after 4 wins

Richmond supporters are notoriously dense. I just skimmed through a thread on Dion Prestia, and someone linked to a positive article about him. The whole thread is convinced it's a media conspiracy to talk Richmond up so that when they fail, they can laugh at them.

Bugg & Harmes sharing the role.... might keep him to 2 or 3 goals

Harmes. I say it every week. He's capable of anything on an AFL ground. Doesn't produce it, necessarily. But can do just about anything. So yeah, might be a good call. I think physically he can at least go with him.

I agree with your first sentence but to be honest, that entire thing isn't something that would surprise me if it were on Demonland in the past.

Anyone looking for selection tonight, don't. Club has tweeted side will be named Saturday. Strange...

Unsure if you're being serious or not #JV7

Sunday teams are always squads on Thursday night. So being a Monday game....

For the avoidance of doubt and so as to corroborate JV7's post, the tweet reads:  "No selection news tonight, folks. We'll be naming our team for Monday's Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond on Saturday #AFLTigersDees"     NO SQUAD TONIGHT, NOTHING, NADA........

Dusty is the one player I see time and time again get away with high fend offs.. along with the DangerWoods' and Pendleburys' of the competition.. A protected species.

I would love to see the famous Viney tackle on him though.. Ala Mav Weller. Would be a very satisfying moment.

Add the Bont to that list

Richmond more than any other team rides on confidence and emotion. If they get on top early will be hard to reel them back in.

Expand  

...and, sadly, after last week's third quarter surrender anyone trailing us by a mere 4 goals at half time will have some confidence.

That is something that we must stamp out ruhtleslessly this week.

Pedo rucked and got 32 possies. We need that, as well as his ability to play forward or back.

His versatility and strength  - forward, ruck, defence make him valuable.

OMG I have heard this sort of garbage blurted out on these pages so often over the past decade - "opposition star player "x" is out - how good is that" and almost every time it has come back to bite us in the bum.  Last year's Essendon game took the cake for this total myth.

How about just going out and beating the best opposition.  Far more satisfying and induces far less complacency in our mentally fragile playing list.

Yeah I thought it was strange, the one thing I think Harmes has been good at was his chasing and pressure. Pretty sure he said harmed, he may have meant Hannan?

31 man squad named for Casey so that doesn't really help. 

 

Tyson is one of them, hope it stays that way.

I recall an attempted Dusty fend-off against our lot a couple years back which resulted in a serious gang-tackle and holding the ball. It seemed as if we'd been instructed to go low and not to get sucked in.

It just means he's on the extended AFL bench, along with Kent and probably Bugg.

The only certainties are that a) Hogan isn't playing VFL so presumably comes straight back in and b) Meksham not named in the VFL means that either he keeps his place or he's injured (or being penalised?) and doesn't play anywhere.

But you're not going to get that.

You're going to get 13 disposals, 4-5 marks, 4-5 hitouts, and maybe a goal.  

We already know what we get from Pedersen.  i wouldn't select him and doubt Goodwin will.

Btw, Casey played Williamstown.  A stand-alone club.  The standard at VFL level these days is very ordinary.  

Expand  

That's still better than what we're likely to get from Weideman at this stage and it also allows us to free up Watts to stay forward instead having to play 2nd ruck

I had a read of their preview thread on BF - my god I hope we beat them now, give them a massive reality check. I'm not confident though, they're in winning form and we've stagnated a little. Their small forwards worry me as does their deeper midfield

Tyson has played well against the Tigs in the past, I wouldn't be dropping him especially not for Trengove or Brayshaw. I'd rather bring Brayshaw in for Melksham, Bugg or Hannan.

He does show glimpses of outstanding play Dappa. Like all developing players things can occasionally go haywire though but seems to be producing at a pretty high level so far.

 I like the idea of Bugg working him on the inside a little then Harmes taking say about 50% of the duties and working him on the outside going the other way. As for the match committee they would probably laugh at the suggestion and do nothing of the sort!

Harmes is tracking top 10 statistically this year, with a weighted average score of 3.43, sitting 9th just behind ANB. Early days but a big improvement on last year's weighted average score of 2.92, where he finished 15th overall. A 17% improvement so far.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
