Fritsch is so much better when played as a high half forward. The problem is that we still have not a single marking forward inside 50. Why they refuse to play Weid is beyond me.

BT can’t tell Langdon and Hunt apart. The confused silence when Langdon got it, he called Hunt, and then Langdon passed it TO Hunt was pretty funny.

I’d be mad but I’ve got to admit that on the far camera angles I’m struggling too.

Endeavour and intensity looks much better than last couple of weeks.

Probably taking it on a bit TOO much at times, but I'd rather see that than playing exclusively around the boundaries.

Tidy up execution and we'll be looking good

Had my phone charging for the first qtr here now!

Happy with the first qtr, the intensity is good and I don't feel Richmond's goals are coming from good play. Speed of ball movement will give us a chance.

All Richmond's goals came from turnovers and decision errors. 

In passages, starting to look like a team. Going take half the season to get it more consistent.

Still would have preferred O'Mac, and VDB is going to need more than a couple of games to get back to his best.

A lot of people being critical! Our effort is good, our midfield well on top, just poor delivery too often.

We got lucky with Richmond missing some very easy goals and Riewoldt and Lynch dropping sitters inside 50. Vandanberg missed an easy pass to McDonald inside 50 but that is just Vandanberg rather than an unlucky passage of play.

I saw a defender make no second effort while the ball was still in play. He walked to an opponent to watch him take an easy mark. Terrible passage of play. Very disappointing.

Clean up our kicking and we’re away. Effort and energy is excellent. Big difference in the style of hand balling between the two sides: we handball to someone next to us, who then has to do the same thing, before we eventually get caught. Richmond handball to someone 5 meters away.

They look and play remarkably similarly. But Hunt’s hair is much more luxurious. Langdon wishes he had Hunt’s hair.

entertaining quarter of footy

they're just that little bit quicker, little bit cleaner than us - as they should be, being premiers two of the last three years

if we can clean up our overuse of the pill and not do that one-too-many handball thing in close that we insist on doing we're going okay

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
