Bloody Butler is the difference in this game. St Kilda got so lucky with him. He’s won them 3-4 games this year.

    Butler was rubbished here as a very average VFL player. Eat their words now.  He won it for the Saints again.

    Just a reminder to those on here who think we're the only club to let good players go (if you still subscribe to that theory).

    Richmond let Butler go and kept Rioli, who's struggling to get a game.

    Good chance we will be 9th on the ladder if we beat the Kangas  (with a game in hand).

    The game in hand thing is starting to become less important. With Carlton, Hawthorn, Fremantle and West Coast having a bye this weekend, we no longer have a game in hand over any of them.

    In terms of ladder position, the North game is critical. Will be our 5th win and that would help us level out with GC, Essendon and the Dogs (assuming Essendon loses to GWS, then GC beats Essendon and the Dogs lose to Brisbane).

    If that all happens, our subsequent fortnight becomes huge for our season if we have any desire to play finals: Collingwood and the Dogs will be thereabouts in that lower half of the top 8.

    Lose to North and none of this really matters of course.

    Richmond have a lot of good small/medium types who kick goals. Aside from Rioli there’s Higgins, Short, Bolton, Castagna and Baker. Cant keep them all and a tough decision to chose who to move on. Rioli based on previous form is a keeper who’s having an ordinary season so far. Butler would have been a huge pickup for us after delisting Garlett and JKH.

    I don't disagree.

    Suggesting Richmond stuffed up has a significant element of hindsight to it.

    The point I'm making is that all clubs make "tough decisions" and sometimes the players they let go end up doing better elsewhere. It's not just us.

    Butler is an interesting one. Can’t seem to kick a set shot to save himself, but in general play he is looking as dangerous as any small forward in the league right now.

    God this is weird.  Id be surprised if Chol wasnt angry about it.  If anyone stuck their finger in my bum they'd be knocked out cold on the spot.  And I didnt even mentioned the constant penis grabbing.

    Weird, and he moved away from Broad in the song because he went for a grab also.

    And they did it in front of all the cameras.  Rocket scientists they are not.

    Papley and Butler both turning it on in the same evening really puts a spotlight on what we're missing up forward. It's something missing from the games of Hannan, Fritsch and our other mid-sized forwards. 

    On the one hand we can realistically hope to get some of that mysterious occult power from Pickett as well as the unknowable future of Jackson, but we really need to bring a bit of spontaneous hunting into the game of the mid-sizers.

    Clearly not consented to or invited.

    Clearly not appreciated.

    Zero chance of him or the club taking any action against a senior double-premiership player.

    Was just on the AFL site and the video of the Richmond celebration song is still there several hours after the initial report.

    Butler is a prime example of why you don’t shoot down posters for raising a delisted or out of favour player as a potential recruit. There are good players there who can offer something.

    Not that he fills a need for us, but Greenwood for Gold Coast is recruit of the year for me. For next to nothing, he adds a much needed big body around the ball for a young team. He’d go close to being Adelaides best player this year,

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
