Headed to the game, feeling nervous, but hope to see the Demons take the game on, play on at every opportunity.

Fingers crossed for a win any margins will suffice!

    I can honestly say I’m not expecting much from this game but an ugly affair. Not confident about our chances, it’s impossible to see how we can score lately. 

    Would really just like a scrappy win so we can get out of there and live to fight another day.

     

    No idea where everyone gets their confidence from. 

    Bombers have had a tougher run than us and in the same position  have beaten both Adelaide teams  

    Another 50-50 game  

    I’m not nervous as I’ve lost a fair bit of interest over the past few weeks

    I'm feeling very pragmatic about today.  You get what you deserve in footy.  If we play to our ability we'll win.

    If we lose I won't let the result control my emotions.  I won't be joining the plethora of senile old clueless posters, who regularly carry on like outraged victims.

    Regarding playing with more structure offensively. You could see last week that they wanted to get back to very basic football of moving the ball forward at any cost (compared to the lack thereof against the hawks). In some ways the frantic style of play seemed to startle Richmond at times. We kicked the ball long and relied on pressure to out work them around the ball to get scoring chances. It was good to see this as there will be more wet weather games ahead where that style of play will be important.

    But today I hope to see some switching of the ball and more daring movement through the corridor.

    If Daniher is a late out then it will be Essendons worst side they’ve put out all year and all the planets will be aligned to ensure an emphatic victory for them.

    Expect Hogan to play the Petracca role with more midfield time and drifting forward.

    Especially with TMac back and Weideman up forward.

    I could live with that.

    Agreee.

    His last 3 games vs us:

    1.6

    2.4

    5.0

    He is the only forward in their team capable of tearing us apart. If hes out, that can only be good for us. Irrespective of his form going into today.

    If Joe is out they will probably play McKernan at CHF and Stringer at FF or the reverse positions or Hooker goes forward if a smaller player comes in..

    Put spargo on Goddard all game and watch him crack.

    Theoretically it should help if he's out, however, as shown yesterday at the Cattery with Buddy out there are no guarantees.  

    I remember one of our great wins was against West Coast in Perth with a depleted side.  

    Some of our best wins have been sans Hogan, because we had to use the ball differently entering our 50.

    Round  14, 1998. We beat WC in Perth coming off 6 wins in a row. We lost our previous two games by close to 200 points. Turned our season around and only lost one or two games for the remainder of the H&A season. Then again it was regular feast or famine those days. We were all over the place with form.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • 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.

    • 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.
