    Not if we throw Marty Hore on him. Perfect matchup!

    why is that @John Demonic?

    How is Hooker right to play after being predicted to miss the first four games of the season? Must have some healing vitamins on hand down at Essendon. Oh, what?

    So, here we are two weeks into the new season without a win and there are a number on this site that are calling it 'season over' already.

    I am not one of them.

    The list we have is the same one that played good footy last year so they know how to do it. we have had a shorter preseason than in recent years and we had a large number of players that went under the knife to fix niggles. All have added up to a slow start to the season. Week 1 we were as bad as we could be. Last week I saw and overall improvement in the general play with the highlighting of structural problems in our forward 50. 

    This week I think we will see another step up in overall quality of play and we will win a tight one to be 2-1 after the first three rounds.

    We could use Jeffy.

    We can use him for two good reasons in my view

    One ...on his day is incredibly talented and hits the scoreboard.

    Two ..  He tends to play his own game. For mine that's a plus as currently 'our game' is putrid.

    Go Jeffy.

    Hore / Frost  Friday  night. ?  A bit unlikely. Too warm for that.

    In all seriousness, that should be an unbelievable show @Gorgoroth.  I wanted to get tickets but a close mate's 30th got the nod.  Disappointed, but I'll listen to the album over the weekend instead.

    Because the other 17 clubs have improved more than we have?

    Also will be seeing them in August at Brutal Assault, I’m pumped for it.

    Didn't see changes v Essendon draft. I watched the Woods v Tigers, their two talls Mason and Grundy did well. On that base Preuss is a must. Petty could replace Frost or O.Mac however O.Mac could go forward. ANB ,Jones and possibly Petracca ( as awake up call ) could be dropped. Baker and Hore could get another go. Not sure if Viney is fit enough.

    The only thing to be decided on Friday night is the size of the loss. Reminds me of the Neeld days. No key forwards, poor delivery to those who are there. The key to our dreadful start in 2019. How on earth has this club failed to discuss / confront the Preliminary final  slaughter?  

    After Friday night we will be in another rebuild phase. My God it is boringly familiar.

    Still cant believe all the work that goes into this website. Where do you find the time? Ive looked at some of the other sites, Bomberblitz for example. The are just so bad, boring and drab and you can hardly even read them. Well done @Demonland

    Thought I would take your advice and see what the bummers think about Friday 's game,

    They are an underwhelming lot !!   to say the least    Go Dees !!

    • 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?
