    bedford playing thru the midfield has a little bit of shai bolton about him

    Unfortunately he can't kick like Shai Bolton. But seriously Bedford is nowhere near as polished as Bolton. Can't question his endeavour though.

    JVR has a lot of raw talent. He reminds me a lot of Jack Riewoldt. 
     

    He still needs time to develop though. Hopefully he gets a few games next year in the 1s but don’t expect miracles for at least another 1-2 years.

    Maybe I'm the world's worst judge but I think Weideman has been absolutely outstanding in this game. He has taken on two experienced campaigners in Ladhams and Sinclair and destroyed them. At ground level they haven't got near him. Must have a big tank as he has rucked throughout the day. This is his role. Back up ruck pinch hitting forward and back as required. Impressive.

    Can’t see T Mac playing Friday after this hit out. Been ok but needs another run

    Bedford’s pressure and tackling has been immense. Some pressure on Spargo I’d suggest. A few less fumbles I reckon he should in the firsts

    i dunno, they both miss their fair share of shots on goal!

    can only see him playing if we lose the QF against the Swans and need to change up the forward line again for a semi final...

    JVR has a real crack and looks good.

    FD must have been tempted to give him a game during the season.

    I’ve liked Sam’s game but Sinclair isn’t near afl standard, he’s well and truly ready to retire and has done a lot of the ruck work, and Ladhams isn’t very clever. Weid’s always been solid and clever at ground level as a follow up ruck.

    A back up ruck at afl level still has to play forward about 50% of time and make an impact. And they have to stand up in the ruck for 20-50% against actual afl rucks or back ups, who provide a sterner test aerially around the ground.

    Weid can do that role but whether he can do it consistently enough to hold his spot at afl level I’m not convinced .

    Strange team Casey

    50 point win but once again no one really starring in a pushing for selection sense

     

    I don’t really think we are hoping for blokes to push for selection at this stage. The seniors are settled. If there are injuries though, we have some depth. Guys that play our system.

    Casey are a tough group of players Swans have been dishing it out all game and they are getting a good footy lesson. Very proud of our boys and how we play the game.!!!

    I think the Weid is playing ok

    Probably won’t please those with the ‘Weidicide’ agenda but Campbell Brown on 7 suggested with ‘Jacko’ apparently about to deecamp. A vacancy ‘may’ exist for a backup ruckman/forward. Given Weed has battled manfully against two AFL hardened opposition ruck men and performed competatively. Maybe there is a crack of light at the end of the tunnel.

    Needs to impose a little more around the ground

    Rucking alone is not enough in the AFL

    It would be great if Sam could play 2nd Ruck next year. Big Job, but i would love him to pull it off

    Grundy is on too much coin and won’t play another 5 years

    • 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.
