    According to Pert and Richo talking to the crowd Gus copped a corky 2 days ago and isn't training.

    I heard he left Monday training hobbling and someone said it could be a knee. 
    Didn’t want to say anything until the club did. 
    Phew 😮‍💨

    Gee, I hope it's not the same bug that some Geelong players are reported to have had prior to the Prelim.

    Not the best looking turf. I'm not suggesting it's dangerous, or anything like that, but I had visions of us training on immaculate grass. And are they irridescent mini-goal posts on the RHS of the picture? Quality.

    Not much to report, they’ve broken up into 3?groups and rotated through drills.

    Drills were based on transition footy, ground ball work and close congestion work. Pretty basic stuff with a focus on tomorrow being a full hit out
     
    What looked like the mids group worked on transition from corridor turnovers when they were together. Defenders in that drill worked on transition from ground ball gets and intercepts. Forwards were very much working on ground ball wins finding space and converting.

    All groups worked on one on one contests focused on breaking the initial tackle and also working your opponent off the footy.

    There was also a drill working on short kicks on the 45 and quick ball movement between the arcs and on a wing 

    All finished now, more just turning the body over. Gus is out there walking around great to see Tomo involved in warm up and he did rehab after that.

    Pert, Lever and Gus answering questions while the rest have shots on goal

    While it's not great Gus couldn't train, you couldn't have asked for a better player to have chatting to the crowd.

    On Instagram it looks like he doesn’t have any strapping on any part of his leg so I assume they’re being very precautionary.

    On another note, we don’t ever have to worry about any of our boys jumping codes to the round ball game.

    They played 2 soccer games as part of their warm up, talk about looking out of place. Good bit of fun for the group and sets a good tone for enthusiasm of nothing else

    • 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?

    • 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?
