3.12am and I can't sleep - and the Gameday thread is already up!  Gotta love Demonland!

Go Dees - get the job done and the remaining games will look a whole lot less formidable!

    Confident going into this.

    The key focus over the week would have been defence and pressure!

    If ever there was a season defining game it would be this.

    Jeepers! Weideman?


    An AFL game played on an oval which will have an extremely dangerous surface! MADNESS!

    Win or lose, It might be season defining for both teams, if it's an epic tussle that proves Freo (and us) have very strong premiership credentials.

    It would be awesome to smash them and begin a campaign of demolition again, but the neutral in me kind of wants an epic match of the year contest where both clubs play a brand of ruthless defensive pressure to the death, that makes Geelong and their media sycophants [censored] themselves about another prelim disappointment. Carn the Doggies at GMHBA too!

    I’m bizarrely confident about tonight’s game although I could sleep much. 

    Only 14 hours til first (recalled) bounce!

    I want to see pressure, intensity and desperation. A return to our 2021 brand

    And some inside F50 tackles please

    The march to the flag starts tonight

    I'm buoyed by the news of Brayshaw's re-signing and hope the players have had a similar boost.

    With no evidence at all to back me up, I just feel that a corner has been turned and we'll win tonight in the first step towards a strong finals run.

    That first line says it all. Bring that, and we win this and it sets us up for the next 3. If we don't, then it says a lot about our chances from here. 


    Boys will go BANG tonight. Top 2 spot maintained.

    Odds watch. 

    Opened 1.90 equal favs, which seemed fair enough given the form lines of both sides, the relative ladder positions and the fact the game is on freo's home deck. And surely no-one would be keen to trust us with their money given we are apparently not hungry or ruthless enough

    Into 1.86 soon after.

    Into 1.80 by Tuesday (even after it was announced bb wasn't playing).

    Into 1.77 on Wednesday.

    Remarkably, on game day, now into 1.72.

    The weather might be a factor, but today's forecast is that whilst plenty of rain will fall today, and so the ground will be slippery, it will clear by the arvo.

    I wonder if Lobb is going to be late out?

    May drift, but unlikely to get into anything shorter than 1.80.

    The pros must really think we will magically rediscover our 'hunger'.

    Because being people who make a living out of punting by being hard nosed, unemotional realists put a lot of stock in such nebulous concepts.

    Pretty confident today. Reckon Brayshaw will play his [censored] off.

    Thought I'd randomly check weather radar. Wet deck on a dodgy ground that recently had turf changed.

    What could go wrong.

    Pros must believe we will suddenly remember how to pressure, run both ways, be sharper with skills, be mentally more ruthless, have greater inside 50 connection. Can’t think of any other factors :))

    Play well Demons and lets get a much needed win - if we are to really challenge and go back to back this is the game we need to win

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
