Played out the game, no strapping and carried Tmac off the ground on his shoulders after the game.

All signs indicate this is hopefully just a precaution and its minor. He might have woken up sore this morning.

Brodie Grundy played his best quarter in 18 months after doing his. Now he’s missing 10 weeks. 
 

Not saying it’ll be that bad but looks can be deceiving + mfcss = never play again.

Daw pulled out of yesterday’s Casey game

Because he was emergency at the MCG and Casey game was on at the same time. Same with Laurie.

Jackson will handle 80% ruck load if TMAC and Brown can ruck the fwd line. We may be able to bring Weideman in if Lever is out, and trial him down back, and have him ruck the back line. Something like that. 

Why not Tomlinson?

Backs don't ruck in the backline. Means potentially leaving their opponent alone or having to hand over all the time.

Considering he carried TMac off the ground i wouldn’t be overly worried 
But it could be a chance to rest the great man or play him up forward


A quick snippet on fox footy with Gawn in front of the Olympic Park Imaging. Played it down saying he didn’t want to be there but the club made him… sounds positive but could just be misdirection. 

Don't risk him.

Daw was brought to the club as insurance if Max went down. From what I've seen, Daw has dominated at Casey, so if fit, deserves his chance. He'd be up against WAFL standard ruckmen, and I believe he'd dominate.

Daw could be spend 60% game time as no.1 ruck, and no time resting up forward. Jackson would spend 40% as a ruckman, and 30% time as 2nd ruck/forward. 

I hate flirting with form, and I don't think that the Brown, T. Mac, Weid forward line works, even with Weid playing backup ruckman.

 

have you watched daw? ok for the vfl but he has no top gear, moves in slow motion most of the time.

I think both Max and Dogga would have to be out for Majak to get a chance at seniors 

In his premiership diary, he stated that Daw thrashed him in a scratch match. If Daw still can’t get a game, I can’t see the point of keeping him. I’d say he’s too much expensive for a player we won’t use unless exceptional circumstances

It is interesting we have insurance players like Maj and Mitch Brown who are probably good enough to play at least some senior footy this year, but are at a club where it’s unlikely to happen unless we really get smashed with injury or covid. Even Luke Dunstan is pretty unlucky he can play a strong role but no spot for him.

Not entirely sure that's actually true..

I have seen Daw. Have you seen the West Coast ruckmen? I'd back Daw in this week.

well if it is that easy then the weid gets in (same height as daw) cos he's in development and majak's a whisker off retirement 

If I recall correctly Weid did some ruck work the other week and Goodwin gave him bit of wrap in the press conference ….. so my guess is if Gawn is rested the Weed will come back in 


Tmac is most likely to do the relief rucking.  Neither Weid nor Daw have the aerobic ability to get around the ground but Tmac does.  He often wins the time trial pre season.   He might not win a centre bounce but neither would the other 2 consistently.  At least Tmac would be more an extra on baller when the ball hits the ground.

He'd be on minimum chips Cassie. That's exactly why he's there. Cheap & only needed in case of emergency. He's good insurance but you'd hate one of rucks to cop a six week injury  have to rely on Majak

Should we be worried that we did not hear about any results from Max’s scans today?

If he is on the plane to Perth , he should be ok .

Time for the Weed!

They won’t leave for Perth until Friday

I doubt that Daw has the required fitness. So while it would be nice for him to get a senior game for the Dees, I don't think it would be a good idea.

🤞 Daw finally gets a call up. He can alternate with Jackson and he will be fine.

Weid is a better pick, but weid has some games at AFL this season. Give a few to Draw to increase our depth.

Cannot agree, Daw is a much better ruck option than Weideman will ever be. His work at Casey has been outstanding!

Give the bloke a rest, bring in Daw.

  • 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?
