    Magnificent second half. He needed help but none was forthcoming unfortunately.

    6. Oliver - a magnificent effort in the second half

    5. Gawn - a magnificent effort in the first half (10 marks for the game, 5 contested and 20 disposals at 85%)

    4. Petracca - although fumbly at times his third quarter made us look better than we were

    3. Langdon - a great first quarter, slowed down after that but ran his guts out.

    2.Nibbler - 7 tackles, and at least tried to display a decent defensive mindset.

    1. Lever - 8 marks and the best of our defensive unit tonight.

    1: Jackson???? In reality I don’t think we had this many good players tonight, hence the loss.

    Gawns stats look ok but a couple of monumental brain fades cost us dearly.

    Gawn's stats are decent but his ball use is one of the main reasons we lost

    And a few of our other "stars" as well had their moments - Tracc's fumbles at critical times resulted in goals to Adelaide, Lever's ineptitude in 1v1's, Clarry's look away disposals in the first half.  Max made two significant errors - a dropped mark  and the very questionable 50 metre penalty.  He played a great game overall.  The fact that Oliver and Hibberd didn't actually get to the drop when Rowe scored his goal was a blight on them both.  10 marks by a ruckman in any game of footy is pretty impressive.

    Mustn't have seen the same game.  His ball use was actually very good tonight.  I'd be more concerned about his dropped mark, or Tracc's fumbles, or Lever's soft in the back, or Harmes falling over etc etc.  I'm sure you get my point - the game is made up of mistakes.  Whoever makes the least usually wins.  Gawn played well.

    Safe to say those who mystifyingly left Oliver out of their votes last week won’t be doing the same this week.

    My issue with Gawn is:

    Taking good marks and then allowing opposition to set up by taking too long.

    Dropping sitters.

    Not giving first option.

    Spoiling team mates that are better placed to mark.

    Taps to opposition players in dangerous spots.

    Reality is that outside of Oliver we had very few strong performers tonight.

    The first point can sometimes be overcome by a team mate running past for an easy handball receive. It did happen once or twice tonight.

    The second - he took 10 and dropped 2.

    If you are talking about first option then I'd be lining up Petracca, Harmes and most of the rest of the team before Max.

    Can't say that I've noticed the spoiling of team mates as a significant problem.  As probably the best contested mark in the game maybe they should be providing coverage for him so he doesn't get bashed from pillar to post every game, or get out of his way.

    The final one was a disgraceful flat footed effort by both Hibberd (Rowe's man) and Oliver.  As pointed out on the commentary there was nothing wrong with the tap.  It went exactly where it was supposed to.  Hibberd was supposed to check Rowe - he didn't; and Oliver didn't move (he should have).  The whole clearance thing is an inexact science with multiple variables.  Being on the move is one of the non-negotiables.

    So my point stands - Max's errors did not contribute any more substantially to the loss than most of the others that were made tonight.

    the wrist-slitting on this site is hilarious; that was as tough and as a committed a game of football as you could want yr team to play - far better to have that sort of heat than the cakewalk that footscray are currently getting from the aints

    if you'd told me we'd be 9-1 at the start of the season where our sole loss was a 1 pointer in a game where the maggots had an adverse effect on the result i'd be stoked

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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?
