    How Melksham keeps his place and not Tomlinson ( Who was in my best) Totally is mystifying and disappointing!

    You weren't involved in Norm Smith's sacking were you?

    Wouldn’t shock me, given your penchant for criticising the coach that only last year ended a 57 year premiership drought - and the Norm Smith curse.

    If that doesn’t make Tommo look for another club nothing will. Played very well last week. There are just better players

    Fairly predictable team I guess, but Tommo is very unlucky imo. Maybe he will be medi-sub, or possibly replace Rick Lever, if he fails a late test before the game.

    Not sure why people have an issue with Tommo out. He played very well last week but Petty is an upgrade no matter what way you look at it.

    Melksham couple of great tackles and involved a couple of goals. Offers more than Bedford has the last few weeks. Petty is a better player than thommo it's pretty straight forward

    I actually think we're a better chance to beat the Dogs at Marvel than at the G. Smaller ground makes it easier to apply forward pressure. If it was at the G and we didn't include another tall forward, I'd back the Dogs.

    Melksham to tag Bailey Dale.

    The ins that I thought. Still think Tommo will be sub and Bedford will play a half for Casey and then be used as emergency. Time for Jacko to step up at CHF You want the big money time to step up Dogga.

    Can't see any bolstering of the forward line

    Disappointing

    We have no replacement for Tmac and it has been shown since his loss that we are struggling for a taller player to take marks. Last week Tomlinson played well and deserved his spot this week. Why not play Petty in the forward line where he has shown on a few occasions he can mark and kick goals. Surely it is worth a trial. We have one key forward  in Brown then no one else. Why not try a player who can mark and kick accurately?

    Tommo stiff. Would have loved to swing around another tall forward under the roof. We need to exploit their defense especially when we bomb it in long.

    Daniel is a big out he always kills us.

    Really feel for Tomlinson. Thought he was finally showing some great form. Maybe Lever is a late out tho and Tomlinson will come straight back in. 
     

    Also harsh on Toby. Melksham must be doing something that I can’t see.

    It’s an interesting one. I thought our forward line looked quite different last week. Melksham held space differently and we looked to get them out the back more often. I think it’ll be good to get a proper look at it at Marvel. No disrespect to Alice but it was a very difficult game to figure out structurally due to the low camera angles.

    Love seeing Oliver and Petty back. We aren’t far off our best side - still just trying to figure out our forward game.

    It’s secret, so secret the players are like you and I THBT they don’t know either. We are currently so easy to work out. Kicking in is  the same ever game and our one KPF is not in his best form and there is no one else. It is very easy to defend, the opposing can double team Brown and concentrate players to the left flank at kick ins and  negate our marking and clearance ability with impurity.    We won last week due to an unbelievable effort by one player.

    • 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.
