    Agree. He has shown enough at Casey for his chance. 
     

    Jake might have had a tough week with the newborn coming home.  Might be a chance for him to get 2 hours sleep on the bench. ??

    Really exciting day for us tomorrow. Get to see the forward line we’ve been trying to build for a few years. I also think the weather will hold out which will make it easier for us to evaluate the dynamics of our forward structures.

    I really hope Chandler takes his chance. That will help the balance of our list and set the standard for work rate for our forwards.

    Not only do good teams get good tv times, they also get good umpires.... Never knew that was a thing! Been so long

    Good to go on Sunday. Chandler and Weid now have their opportunity.   Lets see what they do against  Carlton.  Take the bull  by the horns. 

    Bring it on.

    The mail I have is Trac will not play tomorrow.

     

    If that is the case Mitch & Maj played a full game today.  Do players ever back up from the VFL the next day in the seniors? 

    Normally Mitch would be an auto in here if he didn't play today surely.

    Huh? Why would we bring in Mitch Brown for Petracca?

    Melksham would be the obvious choice should that be needed.

    I would have thought Sparrow would be the one to play if Petracca couldn't

    There's footage going around that Trac was moving freely at today's captains run??

    After seeing that I would be surprised if he is not playing.

    I realize that but if Petracca is unable to play tomorrow they would have known before today and made sparrow an emergency

    Uhm where is the vomit emoji?!

    Not sure why people are happy Melk has been dropped, while I don’t see what others “have” this season he’s still one of us. Hopefully he can go back and find his game again! Or is it more a self congratulatory high 5 to yourself…

    I doubt most are happy as such Cards.  Melk is a fringe 22 player so he needs to up the ante' to maintain his place.

    There's always going to be a bottom 6 or so in a similar position who are fighting to do so.

    Opportunities sometimes then occasionally arise for fringe players waiting their turn at VFL level to step up and see what they can do, provided they've earned it of.course.

    Provided There's quality depth coming from underneath i would think this is a healthy thing all round.  Player in waiting gets a chance to perform and some experience at the highest level.  Coaches get to see whether he can play the role being asked and where he's at. 

    I see this as a very healthy situation.

    Compare this to the alternative of a bottom 6 or less, say 2, 3 or more under-performing and/or few injuries and no one coming through to take their place.  I know which position i'd rather be in as a club/FD/coach.

    Sorry I should have said the self congratulatory group. 
     

    Can’t wait for tomorrow, after tonight the Dees need to step it up again, Togs not done, Dogs are top of the pops.

    A long way to go ...plenty can happen.  Fingers & toes crossed every week from here.  Luck plays a fair role also.

    purely for admin, very rare a side needs all 4 as gameday cover. 2 is plenty

    • 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?
