Don't understand the positivity re: wet weather. Despite our 'chaos' ball style, we are shocking in the wet, and Richmond have always been a good wet weather side.

We're more likely to not score a goal than win.

Yep - no room for positivity in any shape or form in this site

    I'm all for positivity Spalding, just not when it's being positive about an obvious weakness for us.

    Just watch Bachar Houli run and rebound out of defence time and time again without an opponent!

    That's an easy fix. Just cork his left leg. That will nullify his influence.

    Bloke wouldn't know his right foot from his @$$h0!e

    someone please tell me where our goals are going to come from? 

    this side on paper is an absolute worry....

    Also still amazed that AVB is getting a game - he has to perform today or do something that impacts the team 

    I'm putting the targets on AVB and Melk today, big game for these two 

    You're a real clueless supporter MF-C. It's obvious Mate. Tomlinson will dominate on a wing and slot 3 on the run from 55 out. Max is brilliant when he drifts forward and deadly from 35 metres out. There's another 2. You clearly haven't taken any notice of Hannan's form. 3 more goals there. Viney's long leg after he bursts out of the centre . . . kicking it 55 metres over the cluster. Pencil in anther 2 goals from him.  Tommy's virtually been unstoppable over the last 18 months. So there's another 5 in the bag. So far I'm up to 15 goals without trying. Seriously Bro, what's your problem???

    So I can put this out there prior to the game starting, I reckon they've picked the right side today. I watched Colliwobble talls struggle in the wet on Friday night (how bad was Cox), and I think we have enough height in TmAC, Gawn, Tomlinson, Oliver up front. It's gunna be scrappy, but we seem to like it better that way. 

    The omission of Jackson and Bennell isn't so stupid, Not great conditions for Jackson, and in wet heavy slog, not good for Bennell's calves (remember he is a longer project than just this year)

    So it's a half full glass of something when they get up today.

    Jackson only played a half apparently, in the scratch match.

    I wonder IF they have planted him into the Gym, almost full time.?

    It may get there, but it's not exactly looking like 'wet slog' conditions so far. Not a lot of rain on the radar yet either.

    Are you suggesting a late change??

    Would be nice if we could play 4 quarters for once.

    First chance I've had to watch us live this year. Very nervous 

    Hoping that Brayshaw continues to find some form. His brother played a better for Freo today.

    Dees by 13. Hannan and Kossie to combine for 5 goals.

    They said on fox that teams seemed to have worked out how to beat Richmond. 
     

    That’s great to hear but I bet my left nut Goody will play our style whatever the hell that is and lose again just for something different.

    No..

    I was wondering if they are keeping his Klms down, whilst working hard in Gym,  to add weight and muscle.?

    Currently second last on the ladder ?

    Were told yesterday at 4pm tht they were leaving on a flight to SYD straight after the game. Their heads surely won’t be in this game.

    Why were they only told yesterday when we knew for a couple of days that this was happening?


     

    Our midfielder already showing what a shambles they are.

    Viney is rubbish

    • 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.
