Pickett oozes class

We've got ouselves a player

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

How good is Trac

[censored] 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.

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

Majority of the criticism is about this to be fair.

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.

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
