I’ll be watching from Kuching again. Come on Sam, come on Demons!!

Was in Kuching for 6 months 30 years ago and spent a lot of time in Santabong. 
 

mind you, at that time, we not won a flag in only 27 years.

    I reckon you’re on the money there Dr G.

    The main reason is that our form is not anywhere it needs to be. Our pressure has been down all season not just the last 7 weeks. Pressure the Dogs and we can beat them. if not they’ll get their handball game going and carve is up.

    Our forward 50 connection hasn’t been existent for the the whole year and now we are missing our two KPF and have to rely on Weid that has failed to meet any expectation in the AFL repeatedly over the last number of years. So the slow ball movement will allow Dogs to flood and Weid will have no chance.


    Our game plan has also been found out and the coaches have no real plan B that we have seen. They will exploit our zoning probably by tagging one of May or Lever this will lead to the predictable rebound.
     

    Both of our big men have been pretty poor since the bye and we are fumbly in the back half. English is getting better and I think will outrun Maxy. LJ is not impacting the game either.

     

    I can keep going but you get the point. yes there are positives and I do see that but am highlighting the reasons why I don’t think we can get up tonight. 

     

    relax, this is some kind of psychosis going on.

    It’s a flat & inconsistent time of year for most teams. 

    We have won 3 out of the last 4.

    Lever our, Tomo in - confirmed

    Another great result 😭

    Obviously we don't want to lose Lever but Tomlinson was unlucky to get dropped after last week anyway so glad to see him get another run.

    Crazy Goody just doing weirdly bizarre things this year..

    Chandler was the sub a few times last year, I don't think it's that crazy. Who else would you have, Dunstan?

    To be fair we don’t have any talls left. Who would you want to be the sub?

    We have enough smaller guys to cover for midfield injuries.

    Hoping we move the ball with plenty of angle, so we aren't predictable with the corridor we take and to give the forwards more options to lead into. Hate the straight done the line unless it is quick movement.

    Our backline has been working well, not so concerned without lever, it's the forwards that need to inspire.

    How great under the roof on such a wet, cold night.

    Go Dees

    Totally agree. He adds some mongrel and has such a good football brain

    So first Ch7 has Melbourne players talking about Dogs players.

    Then they have Dogs players talking about Dogs players.

    Talk about teachers pets.

    Did I hear a dogs player say that Naughton would be a great player in a top side.

    I was thinking Hunt but whatever

     

    I love how half of the highlights in the Dogs promo here are from last year's GF.

    • 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?
