    If they never drop ANB, Aarts would never get a game with us. 

    We have to try out Laurie and Howes and I think Woey will be better than him anyway.

    Yeah couldn't think or a worse player in Arts to put on a list as depth. Remember this game clearly.

    Would have rather kept Baker

    I believe we will only consider delisted players to be put on the rookie list and I think we need ruck types and good tall project players since most midfield and small forward positions we have multiple players at this stage.

    Could do a lot better 

    Stark  even with baggage a far better  player and a match winner.

    Remember his hit ( tackle) on Vines on Anzac Eve 2019 !

    I think he's got something but it wouldn't be MFC as the team benefiting from his services.

    After something like that occurs, a player is haunted.

    Better still why don't we delist every player every and just enlist every player that is delisted by other clubs, I reckon that would satisfy picket fence.

    Before we try out anyone they have to earn it 

    Laurie, Howes and Woewodin haven’t yet ticked that box IMO

    If Laurie can improve his fitness he might get a look next year - he does have skill just not convinced he is currently an upgrade on anyone in the 1s

    Howes I’m not convinced will make it - I know he has plenty of people here that think he’s going to - very happy to be proved wrong 

    Woey is a good honest footballer - good enough to be a regular AFL player ? - next year will tell us a lot more I think

    Please expand on your opinion on Howes.

    He did ok in his first few Casey games before the stress fracture took him out for the majority of the season.

    What have you seen to write him off already?

    I’m not writing anyone off simply saying I’m not convinced he will make it as an AFL footballer 

    There are hundreds of guys that a good footballers but never quite reach the level required 

    Howes is neat in his ball handling and disposal but I he doesn’t get it enough at VFL level to suggest to me he can impact at AFL level

    Does he have any significant stand out qualities ? Pace , evasion, disposal , marking , physical presence? If he has they have been shown in cameos only hence - so I’m not convinced - as I said very happy to be proven wrong and we won’t know until the end of next season or the one after that (assuming he has no more injury concerns)

    • 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.
