    Oskar Baker exists !!!

    Young backman Trent Rivers enjoyed some time up the ground, impressing with his run around the ball, as did Oskar Baker whose pace shone through on the wing.

    So this time it wasn’t necessary to conscript players from other clubs than the Demons and Magpies at their hub at Maroochydore Sports Complex.

    Highlights -

    • You can’t keep a good big man down. Max Gawn might have been nursing that injured PCL but it didn’t stop him from being one of the goal umpires.

    • Melbourne ran away with a convincing 39-point win scoring 12.8.80 to 6.5.41.

    • Suspended Alex Neal-Bullen was considered best afield playing up forward (he still has two matches to serve);

    • Toby Bedford was lively and did the damage on the scoreboard booting four goals;

    • The defence stood strong throughout the game;

    • Trent Rivers enjoyed some time up the ground, impressing with his run around the ball;

    • Oskar Baker’s pace shone through on the wing;

    • Recovering from a broken wrist Corey Wagner played well in the middle unhindered by the protective glove he wore;

    • Josh Wagner pushed off half-back to help around the contest;

    • Jayden Hunt was the carry over emergency for Melbourne in Round 12.

    As mentioned above, no mention made of Brown, Bennell or Hannan or any news on the four injured horsemen - Hore, Petty, Kolo and Nietzchke.

    You would hope Baker starts doing something as he’s running out of time for an AFL career.

    He's got time he still has another year on his contract.

    Yes Baker has 2021 under contract but it’s no guarantee.  I’d like to see get a run and I’d take him to FNQ to play either Freo or Swans.  His pace will be handy.

    Watching the doggies on the weekend and an undersized Dunkley spending some significant time in the ruck, I wondered what has happened to Kyle. Don’t believe he’s injured - does anyone have an insight on how he’s going. Thought he showed a little bit despite fitness being well underdone last year in his 5 games and playing largely in the graveyard at HFF in a poor side?

    Thanks for the summary.

    Nice of Max to show support for team mates.

    Anyone know what has become of Nev?

    How come Melbourne doesn't provide a write-up about each player? I know they're only scratch matches but still...

    It’s my understanding that Kyle had a planter fascia injury over Xmas which set him back after working especially hard overseas after the end of last season. 

    Would certainly be nervous heading into the end of the year.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
