Top of the Ladder?

Finishing top is overrated.  Last side to win the flag finishing first after the H&A was Hawthorn in 2013.  The next two were from 2nd and 3rd, the Bulldogs in 2016 were 7th after H&A; the only year the Tigers were first was 2018 when they dropped the prelim. The great Brisbane side never finished on top either.  I'll happily take 2nd, 3rd or 4th after round 23.

    So long as we are on the “right side” of MCG finals it doesn’t matter. If finishing 4th means we end up playing Port in Adelaide, then I rather finish 1st.

    I'd take Top 4 and not have to play an interstate final

    Dogs to beat Richmond handily. What would we need to beat NM by to pick up 25% points.

    I just had to put this here. 

    Sometimes it awesome to be wrong, right?

    Yup.

    We have beaten Sydney once since 2011 and twice since 2006.   The only team left that still owns our souls, and beat us yet again last season when we were in the finals hunt.

    One of those was an absolute belting at the MCG when roos was their coach and admitted he had no answers that day

    We are top of the ladder and that is all....top and unbeaten.

    Even 6 months ago this position was unthinkable, the stuff only the true believers would ever dare to dream. Well its happened and here we are, and we are the envy of the league. I think some of you just need to sit back chill and enjoy it while its here. We have gone a long way to reestablish ourselves as a powerhouse of the league once again along with the chance to build a huge membership base. Appreciate the club, the coach and the players who have worked their guts out to get us here.

    Go Dees.

    Seven rounds in

    Undefeated and atop the ladder

    Sure.. it's not the endgame but hell it's nice

    Just enjoy....

    It's a pity that supporters cannot experience the Northey days when everyone was welcome in the change rooms.

    Heady days and so much fun

    PS... cannot remember ladies being allowed but cannot think why not.

    Think of the children. At the Hawthorn game I saw the joy in their faces when their team was winning and kicking goals. I feel so happy for them as well. We need this success for new generations of supporters.

    I would expect we will have a fade at some point this year so ultimately I'm just stoked that whatever has come at us so far this season we have risen above it. A lot of footy to be played but being top of the table at this point is a great feeling.

    Mate think about all us mid 30s supporters who have not seen us do anything but suck for basically our entire life.

    I am genuinely in foreign territory here.

    • 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.
