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.

Gross, just went and had a peep. Shallow end of the gene pool right there.

More like what you find when you clean out the filter Deemented.

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

Yeah, meth will do that. 

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

Well this has utterly ruined my Thursday night routine ?

Annoying but we will get Casey teams tonight so that should help with the guessing....

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.

...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.

Please let some injury news go our way and Dusty miss :rolleyes:

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.

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.

Some good deduction by @Dee-liciousin the Casey thread

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.  

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
