I know Zak Jones was quite a nuffy today, but i'd still take him for his pace and contested work - And being trade out of Sydney would be a wake up call to pull his head in. I have to wonder if he has lowered his trade value tonight and we could get in on the cheaper (than before). For eg a sydney fans over the top response: "I’m sick of this [censored]. He’s fast becoming a liability and yeah, not worth it. Would gladly give him away, [censored] a trade."

 

Pass.

    Sydney on the way out, time to spend some time on the bottom now, bye bye.

    Gill and his henchmen just will not allow that to happen.

    Hurley and Stringer laughing on the bench with 1 min to go despite not being in the 8. Makes me sick. 

    And yet the press focus on Bernie smiling with Danger....

    I agree totally that the Bernie / Danger thing was ridiculously overblown by the press*, but surely it is OK (even good) to have a laugh when you chalk up a somewhat unexpected and emphatic win.

    * one of the great traditions that remains in our game despite administrators trying to stuff it up completely through incompetence or ego, is that players usually can mix after the game.

    So you can bang an opponents head into the ground if it is in one action?

    Not if you are NicNat. He got done for that

    This lions cats game could go either way. Cats aren't much chop but lions lack composure (sounds similar to last Saturday night).

    A lions win would be huge, but pee me off at the same time as, if we won last week, it would've ended the cats' season.

    Amazing presence of mind.

    Absolutely the correct call too.

    Best goal this year that kid is a ripper 

    Our equivalent (Spargo) has as many tricks I reckon. Difference is that it looks like Charlie is always thinking team first, where this Richmond bloke just does whatever is natural to him.

    Last week aside, are there any other games we've failed to put the foot down?

    We've smashed all the bad sides, repeatedly blowing the lead out late, and in the other losses we've either been trying to catch up (Geelong, St Kilda, Port, even Richmond) or just not in it (Hawthorn, Collingwood).

    We have many lessons to learn, but not sure that is one of them.

    Are C'wood about to have an honourable loss?Or is there no such thing?

    I am talking the good teams, sorry i should have been more specific, with our dominence in the midfield, we should be far more dominant. But at this point we still haven’t mastered putting the foot down. 

    It’s the big one to learn, so not all teams master it, but our midfield, i hope will demand it. 

    Tonight will tell us a lot...Is the team shot or are they genuinely angry at being beaten last week

    The way Richmond has treated Collingwood today reminds me a lot of the way our game against them went on ANZAC Eve earlier this year. Close for 3 quarters until the 4th when they blew us away. Richmond are a fully awesome side.

    • 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?
