Watched the Richmond game yesterday. They’re a pretty limited outfit. As long as we don’t get complacent we should beat them.

 

It seems unlikely that Downie and Gay will rejoin the team this week, so we'll need to go with last week's side again.

I haven't seen Richmond play, but this strikes me as the sort of game that we have historically struggled with. 

Our forward line looked okay last week, but the defense looks undersized. I think we'll need to throw Scott back as reinforcement.

Hopefully our midfield can dominate and we can keep the ball in our forward half much more than we did last week.

Got me tickets earlier. Wonder where section z4 is ???

same spot as dl4e?

Wish this game was at Punt road.

I watched us play part of a casey v tiger's match prior to a dees game a few years back, but have never watched a full game or sat in the stand. 

Karen Paxman will (all going to plan) play her 30th game on the weekend.

For context, this puts her among only 22 players prior to this round who have reached that figure, and the first to play all 30 at Melbourne. Libby Birch reached the milestone last week with her games combined between the Dogs and Dees.

At the moment, given the shorter seasons, it's effectively what a 50 or even 100 game milestone would be in the men's, so something to celebrate. Especially given it's not guaranteed (although I wouldn't count her out) that she'll reach 50, as that will take another 2 or so seasons.

So congrats to Paxy!

 

For reference, other milestones of this nature that could be reached if the season reaches completion:

Scott (currently on 28 games)

Mithen (25)

L.Pearce (23)

D.Pearce (22)

Cunningham (22)

Hore (22)

Just go down  there and imagine !

FWIW I am not sure that the stand was used last week.

Saw on TV in the back ground and it didn't look occupied !

Binman looks like you will have to BUCKET LIST this wish  hoping the AFLW Dees play at Punt Rd in 2022.

Or shall I say " BIN IT" !!! 
 

Just been watching 15 minutes of the dogs v blues game. 
I hope you get better umpires than this lot. 
we had better umpires in the F grade reserves of the VAFA !

Still first to the ball usually gets the breaks. But not tonight. You deserve better.
good luck against the tigers

Go Dees


No change for the side this week. I wonder what is wrong with Maddie Gay. Very good midfielder.

Hope we don't do the usual and stuff up against a poor side. Handing the tigers their first win would be an embarassment to say the least.

As long as we limit the supply into Frederick and Brennan we should be ok. Richmond don’t really have any weapons other than those two.

Also would pay some attention to their 2020 number one pick Ellie McKenzie. She only got 12 touches on debut but went at 100% efficiency I believe.

Agree Ellie McKenzie is going to be a good player but then Richmond will have to put some effort into our #15 pick, Eliza McNamara who got 18 touches on debut and was probably in the top half dozen players on the ground. I would not be surprised if she ends up our first 100 game player. 

Go Dees!

I have watch Casey there a couple of times in recent years. Good watching as crowd numbers were low. 


Umpires off to a flyer for Richmond. Terrible HTB decision and a 50 to gift them a goal.

Umpiring is a disgrace.

Joke umpiring for sure in that first half.

Bit of unsteady play cost us, too.

Feel like Goldrick was emblematic of our play that quarter - some great movement, good pressure, but there were fumbles that cost us good attacks or gave Richmond too much of a chance.

Having said that, I feel like a few of our better players haven't been sighted a lot so far.

Also... holding the ball or 'holding' calls... high tackle or pinged... yeah, awful umpiring that easily balanced the breeze.

Spot on , need to be cleaner.

 

Start of 4th quarter will see Dees up by 23 points but with the Tiges kicking with the wind in the last.

Daniel Bradshaw vs Demons from 2005 on;

9, 8, 6, 4, 4.

He was a good forward, for sure, but that's ridiculous for footy in the late 2000s.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
