    The main reason we lost to them last year was we had heavy legs due to training loads and the brilliance of Toby Greene.

    No Toby Greene this time. Another regulation 4-5 goal win coming up

    We missed plenty of opportunities to win this one in the last quarter. Had plenty of the ball but didn't execute well.Ā 

    We'd only lose one more game for the year after that one tooĀ Ā

    Agree, no Toby Greene, no training loads, and no Mummy who definitely made Giants walk taller!

    Be interesting to see Pruess against Max, followed by Jackson!

    Expecting a solid 5 goal win - even though would love to see a big win, but hard to argue with Demon game philosophy after last years ultimate success!

    Go Demons!

    Pruess should be suspendedĀ  for this match

    It was a hard game to sit through we were sitting on the wrong wing and didnā€™t get to see much action up close. We were lethargic and made a lot of errors whereas they made every opportunity stick. Looking forward to a good win and seeing Max show Preuss whoā€™s the boss.

    As others have said a very frustrating game we had plenty of chances to win but did look tiredā€¦should get them this timeĀ

    They have a very, very good midfield, and then no other real strengths. Some individual players have real skill but our defence mindset should cover them.Ā

    You are correct. The result is left resting with the umpires; their obvious preference(s) lie time and again with GWS.

    What a day this was, thought we might have blown our top 4 chance and it also turned out to be the last time we could go to the G that year. What happened next speaks for itself and it's time to atone for it this Sat.Ā

    When going through the replays one by one during the off season I thought that last quarter was one of our best until that time.

    We didn't score but we did everything else extremely well

    • 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.

    • 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?
