    I don’t think him not playing in the match simulation is a worry. You wouldn’t risk him at all. It’s not like he needs the practice anyway. He can defend pretty well.

    Gamble. I’d go hunt or hibberd and then shuffle

    It makes sense if they aren’t confident in May. But on the other hand Smith is coming off a hammy too. Can’t see it happening. You would play someone in the sub role who can play mid if we needed. I still think Hunt is the best sub option.

    Because he's not playing? I think he is just still going through rehab

    No, not at all. It’s smart. All I meant was he looked fluid and under no duress on that footage. See his kick in game and how much it was hurting him. 

    I want to see footage of Bont turning at pace and not in an arc. I don’t think he can do a sharp turn at the min.

    Goody said in his press conference this morning that May would not be taking part in the match sim. He also said that with his rehab schedule planned for the week, he is certain to play in the GF

    I think he has to be with May’s suspect hammy. 
     

    Did he have any scans done? I’m sure if they were clear we’d have heard by now.

    This what [censored] me off the most with Ports effort in the PF, Bont wasn’t even tested.

    Wow. If true I find that extremely strange. Even just as a precaution you get a scan dont you? If he breaks down 10 mins into Q1 Im sure decision will be heavily scrutinised.

    No, I was going by those in red tops. Hunt, Melksham and Jordon. May mean little of course.

    Nope, no scans done as far as I'm aware.

    It's a risk playing Smith as the medi sub off a hamstring injury. His body is unreliable.

    He obviously no longer has any pain in the hamstring and it was just a back related issue, hence no scans. I really back our fitness and medical staff, they’ve done a superb job all year.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
