Go home, Kayo, you’re drunk. They’re showing replays of replays of passages of play, like it’s on loop. 

Clarrie, Salem, ANB & BBB all looking sensational. A few blokes look a bit dusty but thats what these games are all about. No Jake Lever or Bailey Fritsch so our structures are slightly out. Chandler showing a bit. Looking forward to seeing what The Weed can do in the 2nd half.

    These boys are looking really sharp considering how shortened our preseason has been. We look like we are just picking up where we left off in November.

    Everyone looks super fit and in awesome condition. It’s a full-on muscle-fest out there. 


    Is there a VFL game for the other players on the list after this?

    Nice training drill for the boys out there….North are several classes below

    Don't have Kayo so am enjoying myself following this on the North bigfooty game day thread. It's very satisfying having our team talked about like this.

    A couple of times we’ve been caught out going forward with turnovers because have they been pushing back hard defensively and we are getting outnumbered .

    Melbourne's defence is hard to beat.

    they've split us open now

    Good reality check. Stops the uncalibrated preseason chugging off.

    Not a bad quarter of football but we saw about 5 minutes of play from the Dees that shows the difference between the Premiers and Wooden Spooners. They are a class above and we saw it late in that quarter.

    They move the ball quickly we were not able too

    Melbourne too strong and too good for us to play silly.

    Melbourne read the ball ahead of what we are doing as much as its about poor execution.

    We stagnate we should be playing on quickly but Melbourne don’t allow it

    Melb numbers behind the ball and numbers in front of the ball....

    We are winning out fair share of contests but the Melbourne backline is picking off everything.

    Melbourne with ascendency across the ground. Running with numbers, more numbers around the contest, cleaner with the footy.

    Melbourne are very good at smothering kicks in close

    How long till Round 1, 2023?

    They are just out working us on the spread offensively and working back a lot harder defensively. There are a lot of lessons today let’s hope we learn from them .

    We're getting crushed by melbs stronger mids.

    There are a lot of skill errors, but most of those would be because of the pressure being applied by the defending premiers.

    We just hemorrhaged 8 goals in a row and as soon as the pressure came we played like under 10s

    Their last two games were an absolute dismantling of Geelong, and then kicking 46 goals in a row to smash the Dogs and win a flag.

    Melbourne are really good

    At the ground, effort is ok skills & structure the glaring difference. 
    Seems an odd set up with the personnel we have on the field, allowing them huge outnumber behind the ball playing into their hands. likewise around the contest their positioning is much effective, better spacing allowing clearer outlets despite what looks like an extra there for us.

    I wanna see my boy Jayden running around!


    Great first half

    Particularly impressed by Hibberd and Sparrow is showing he is best 22.

    Pickett just cannot get near it other than on a few link up plays.

    Would have liked to see some more scoring from forward stoppage.

    Looking forward to seeing the Weid and Hunt in the second half.

    Harmes looks as though he means business. Nice goal just now.

    • 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?
