Hawthorn paying juicy odds. I have a feeling it might be worth a swing.

Nice way to soften the blow if we get rolled.

Anybody else super impressed with levers' on field and individualised leadership after May went down?

I was amazed and very proud Lever is a fantastic addition to our future

The extra coin he earns and the 2 first rounders we used ARE the price of TEAM leadership on top of his ability.

Same as for Maysie.
Leadership Really Is priceless and both Trades are Giving us back in spades with our team defence ethos.

All players are now looking team first and look how the side  is performing together.

Helps add also when your top players are week after week performing up to their ability.
 

Also helps when you have 6/8 top liners who are genuine impact players who change the results of games when they perform at a top level.

Hence the dilemma in Coaches votes and our top 6 in Demonland!

I'm guilty of both these errors, but which is worse? Jordan for Jordon? or Swallow for Sparrow?

Jordan, for sure.

Nothing wrong with calling Swallow Sparrow!

Dear Mr Webber, on behalf of Demonstone, it's Jordon, not Jordan.

Yep, my bad.

Yes look apart from some key distinctions such as:

• Sparrow belongs to the Family: Passeridae while swallows are members of the Family: Hirundinidae.

• Taxonomic diversity is much higher in sparrows than in swallows.

• Swallows are bigger and heavier than sparrows.

• Sparrows have a stocky body while swallows have an elongated body.

• Swallows make mud nests, but sparrows never use mud.

• Swallows usually fly around water bodies whereas sparrows prefer to fly around terrestrial ecosystems.

• Wings are characteristically elongated in swallows but not in sparrows.

Once upon a time a Swallow at the dees might have been a nice edition but I'm quite happy with our Sparrow especially if he has higher taxonomic diversity.

Carlton Draft makes a good swallow.

Are we talking African swallows or European swallows here?

Completely staggering the confidence of a decent proportion of Hawks supporters on their board.  They are sitting second last, and are playing against a team who is flying, but are still confident of a win.  Their prolonged recent periods of success must've given them all a case of HFCSS, which is the exact opposite of MFCSS.

Well I reckon it is a bit of a danger game for us. We would’ve been up for the Cats game (and given our 4 quarter effort we were), throw in that our general down back is out with a fractured eye socket and that ANZAC Eve might be on the minds of some players.........not as confident this week as I was against the Cats.

If we mean business this year we will beat the dorks, but we need to start well to shut their deluded fans up and stifle any sniff of them getting a run on.

Just wondering if anyone thinks Will b.brown be introduced before Weid and does anyone think it will happen in the tigers game?

anyone who thinks BBB is not in our best 22 as a walk up is kidding themselves. he could still kick 60 goals this season, two injuries in an 8 year career doesnt make u injury prone. and yes, i believe he'll get up for the tiges

Definitely agree this is a danger game.  A real test of the maturity we have heard the players mention.  This is a textbook game for the old MFC to drop, see Fremantle and Sydney last year.  Hopefully the new MFC can take care of the lesser teams without fuss.

This is a huge test for the maturity of the team, we have been guilty of drinking our own bathwater in previous seasons but a loss to the Hawks this week then coming up against the reigning premiers we could be looking at 4-2 very quickly and back into the pack. Ultimately what is getting us wins is pure hard work and working for each other. If we continue that attitude we will get more wins than losses.

That’s liable.

I think we will get the job done.

May out us big, but we still held off the cats without him.

Our midfield is simply dominating as is Max.

Tmac is in good form as is Fritta. Kozzie to get a few more. Jackson to have a big game and its all over.

I agree. I think he will be selected for the tigers game. Nice spanner in the works for richmond.

Thinking about the tigers game...not happy that we get 6 days off to their 8.?

I think we have been on the favouring end for most rounds this year, so was bound to turn at some time. See what happens!

I'm hearing after training today we are likely to have at least one more enforced change

Any idea who was injured?

Could be a sore player, giving consideration to list management and the shorter turnaround against the Tigers 6 v 8 day break

Fritter out for 2

 

With Fritsch out.

I wonder do they bring in a tall like Mitch Brown?

Or perhaps just go with Sparrow as the replacement and play Melksham deeper (I think this the most likely). 

Training injury. You've got to be kidding.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
