We’ve done that a few times over the journey. I remember a game were we played 18 short. 

Who were the 4 'guns' on the bench?

    So Vanders in for Harmes, who has an ear infection, according to one of the MFC instagram pages.

    Slow, poor foot skills, replaced by slow, poor foot skills 

    I wouldn’t call either slow - maybe not express but hardly slow

    I guess a lot of Demonlanders are going to be happy seeing vandenBerg in the team.

    Disappointing IMO for Sparrow that he's missed out on a midfield spot, but let's see how vandenBerg goes.

    Not talking pure foot speed, also speed of mind

    OUT: Harmes (EAR INFECTION)
    IN: Aaron vandenBerg 

     

    Curious how AVB will go, if Nate was fit, wonder who would have gotten in

    AVB is going to be useful if the Hawks go the bash, as expected. Aaron will have an opportunity, despite the possibly poor weather conditions, to be a presence and a pillar of strength. He does contribute to making us a better team and has recently been playing really well after recovery. Best wishes for a good game, Aaron.

    Hawthorn’s injury list is next level and if we come with last week’s intensity we should have a comfortable win.

    It’s a big IF though.

    Given their injuries, anything less than a 60 point win should be considered a failure tomorrow.

    vandenBerg would be handy in a final against Geelong if they try their usual physical stuff. This is getting some miles into his fragile legs in preparation for a full-tilt run at a flag.

    Don't hate it, although it does nothing to improve our conversion rate up forward.

    Maybe Harmes had the ear infection as early as last week?

    His entire game was summed up in his first 'possession' I reckon. Tried to pick it up around his bootlaces, missed it, kicked it by accident (almost out on the full), fell over.

    Has carried it for a few weeks now. 'Ear infection' is underselling it, he's needing an operation but is hoping to put it off til post-season.

    That’s quite an infection

    Would have been a good opportunity to give Bowey or Bedford a game.

    Yeah, watched the vfl game on Kayo.

    Didn't think AVB was outstanding but was pretty physical as usual.

    Maybe the wet weather swung it his way. Feel for Sparrow.

    Bowey is getting better every game and Bedford will be a great player for us too at some point.

    Jones didn't play, so maybe that's why he's not coming in.

    • 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?
