    Physical fitness or mental fitness

    we do seem to give up late in a game

    or relax if we are a way in front.

    feeling rather dispondant just now 

    as usual high hopes at the start of the year  Couple of weeks in little or no real improvement.  [censored] Off !!

    Just a shame really. God I hate when Carey and or Newman are right.

    Most sides seem to be able to outrun us over 4q thats for sure. 

    However, whatever the recipe, the Tigers last year and this year appear way ahead in the fitness stakes and their ability to continue to run all game.

    Figured your thoughts on our energy sapping game style might slot in nicely here

    I am more concerned about a great deal of wasted effort. Lots of player making a very good contribution in effort but what's the point if you have no idea where you should send the ball.

    A ball flying 40m doesn't even work up a sweat, and there's no better way to rest than watcing someone mark-kick-goal.

    But constantly grappling and scrapping and pointless bombs meaning every time we run forward we have to run back again, that takes a toll, a phyiscal one as well as the mental one.

    Our total failure to deal with Richmond's excellent whole-team defensive positioning meant we were spending a LOT of time running to keep up, while they were there ready at the spots we were so obviously about to kick to.

    we've been beaten in the second half three out of five times now

    it certainly suggests we come to a shuddering halt down the stretch

    against geelong we 'won' the second half by 41 to 17

    against bears, lost 56 to 45

    against north, won 62 to 34

    against hawks, smashed 68 to 9

    against tigers, lost 38 to 62

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
