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.

    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.

    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.

    • 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.

      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?

      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.
