    Fingers crossed Salem is OK. Crappy tackle when there's 4 mins to go and you're 90 points down.

    We seem to like bending teams over barrels these days.

    Great to watch.

    May the strangle hold over Norf continue. 🙏

    Was there any noticeable difference in the umpiring of the holding the ball rule? Alternatively, were players trying to dispose of the ball more quickly because of the supposed "tightening up" of that rule?

    Didn't see any difference, other than a few ridiculous holding the balls paid.

    That will come down.

    I reckon after today it will be in around $10-12 range.

    On the claim that Weid might have been played in the ruck in case that Luke Jackson leaves.

    No because he needs to get a go away from just being a forward   in one position. And he is quite decent around the ground with good skills marking and handball ing. No one not even BBB or Tmac  can make  a difference to Dogga in the ruck.
    Please no reason to  be so half glass empty that is not what is being suggested that Dogga is leaving this season or the next 2 at least.

    I know it's only a practice match but belting North Melbourne is always a fun event.

    Hopefully Salem is OK? Otherwise sounds like we got everything we'd have wanted from this match.

    How has Tom Sparrow done?

    It looked like he had hit the gym regularly in the off season.

    He was great. Trimmed down noticeably but still looks wide and strong. Kicked it beautifully and will get more midfield minutes based on today's game

    I was confused about the pineapple reference there for a minute.😁

    I know a 20s a lobster.

    Is a100 a watermelon ?

    Worth a punt for sure.

    On Brown, I saw a highlight video of Chandler's goal from the middle of the field. Was that Brown sprinting into the goalsquare chasing after it?

    If so...seems a far bit faster/more agile than last year?

    Yea it was. He looked quick and gave the thumbs up when it went through.

    First quarter has been uploaded on Youtube, assume the rest of the game will be up shortly

    A few iffy ones, but lots of high tackles paid that looked very dubious and "drawn".  Unfortunately Kayo wasn't doing replays. I would have liked some more looks at many of them.

    BoG for me was Clarry.  Very powerful display.

    Most pleasing was Joel Smith.  Not sure if he was beaten once and disposed of the ball very well.  Really starting to use his supreme athletic gifts well.  Even with Petty out, picking our defenders for round 1 will be a nightmare.

    Can you elaborate on Joel Smith.?  Iv'e always had my doubts and saw a 30 sec clip of the game where he charged through won the ball then butched it.

    Not representative of his game?  Hitting targets?

    Chandler was opportunistic , at best.

    Kicked 2 goals but was rarely sighted otherwise, though the same could be said for our other small forwards who tended to see more goals sailing over their heads from long distances

    • 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.

      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?
