Great team performance, will put my hand up as one who thought it was more important to tag the outsiders as opposed to cutting off the source.

Really good move cutting Libba out and anyone who uses Brayshaws stats to judge his performance doesn’t know what they are talking about

    Shout out to Gus for his game. Epitome of sacrificing for the team. Only got it a dozen times but regularly won or halved 1 on 1s. Deserves votes

    Controlled and hungry. 
    A beautiful thing. 

    Nice, continuous application of mongrel, too, delivered without animosity, just an attitude of a classy team.

    Best on ground, Harmes? Maybe, huge game. But geez, Gus aye. Selfless. So important tonight.

    The lesser likes for me. 
    Harmes, Spargbol, ANB, Jordon. So clean and hard and don’t stop working. Really good from those 4 plus Brayshaw shutting down a wing. 
     

    Oliver is head and shoulders above their much lauded midfield. 
     

    Great win in a weird to watch game.

    James Harmes best game in a long time

    Agreed, for all the times i've critised him this season and last his game was brilliant tonight. I hope for more of it.

    Lever B.O.G for me being mindful i missed the first quarter.

    I'll be completely honest, I didn't see that coming. It looked weird seeing us play with no crowd and I think in a low of ways that helped us. The dogs looked unable to get "up" whereas I think we were always going to be up for a fight after the shock loss last week.

    I'm not able to really do much rundown but Gus and Brayshaw deserve a lot of praise. Did great jobs this week.

    So much for the "Medical" sub

    Won't be long until the calls come for - "just make it a 5th Interchange"... and then a call for a 6th as Sub

    Deja vous

    Brayshaw had a cracker of a game. Best game of the season imo. 

    Best 13 possession game I have ever seen

    Huge game.

    They dominated the stats and had tonnes of the ball but the stats don't show you how much they were mucking around with it because of our pressure and defensive set up.

    A massive team effort. Oliver was dominant but this was as much about the stars as it was about lesser lights, like Harmes tagging Libba, Jordon's midfield role, Weideman continuing to present despite having a poor first half, Spargo/ANB/Pickett gut running repeatedly to keep the pressure on, Brayshaw's amazing defensive game on the wing.

    We had to match them in the middle and we did, winning CPs by 21. We had to dominate the air and we did, +5 marks inside 50, +9 contested marks and a lot more intercept marks (can't find that stat).

    There will be those who qualify this win, noting that they were missing Treloar, Dunkley, Wood and Martin, and arguing the lack of a Dogs home crowd helped us. But [censored] them. We brought our defensive A-game and our pressure A-game and like Richmond, a top 4 contender couldn't go with us.

    Some of us know Pennant. My only post on the game day thread was stop Libba and we are a chance and Harmes was the obvious one. Thought Harmes was great.

    One good thing about the lockdown.  While everyone thinks I am working from home, I will be watching the replay twice a day

    • 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.

      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?

      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?
