Tmac's game was superb, crashing the contest and ripping down some contested marks with 4 to go along with it. 

Thats the tmac we all know and love.

    Was Hibberd injured? AFL app says so but I didn’t hear the commentators mention anything during the 4th quarter?

    He did have ice around the calf when they panned to the bench, no mention of an injury though.

    Strange Sparrow went to Gaff after quarter time. I wonder why not Kelly?

    Fritta's clean skills stood out in the first half.

    Grundy is settling nicely.

    TMac looked dangerous and three contested marks was good.

    Petracca was great after quarter time.

    Oliver was immense... again.

    Kozzy is class just needed to finish.

    McVee looked classy again.

    Salem should earn his way back through the VFL at this point. 2021 was a long time ago now, and he hasn't played too well in over a year (not his fault - but true all the same).

    Brayshaw is more at risk IMO

    Is there something wrong with the Optus surface? I’m staggered how often players slipped over.

    Trac’s set shot routine is transformed. Walks straight, holds the ball straight, 3 steps in, 4th the kick with STRAIGHT momentum, no leaning back on it. Seems simple, and it is!

    Frustrating first half rife with skill and decision errors but credit to West Coast who were undermanned but brought the heat to the contest. That explained some of the skill errors but not the decision making when in space and going inside 50.

    Tidied up second half and were never really threatened after the break. Good to see TomMac back, Kozzie finding his way after an errant first half, Trac work his way into the game and some great flashes from kids like JVR, McVee.

    Doubled their score, topped 100 points so it's miserable to complain but still getting used to a team doing just what it needs to do.

    If that Fritta shot went through it would have been 20 goals in a game two weeks in a row. Not bad for a team that has no forward line and can't score.

    Kelly was getting a heap of but kicking at 30% he wasn’t really hurting us.

    This time last week he was hobbling off after the game too. Must just be old age.

    First quarter a bit sloppy at times against undermanned opponents but overall an efficient job well done. Got to also give credit to Tim Kelly, whose lion-hearted effort for the Eagles prevented our midfield from taking even greater control. Overall, plenty of positives, especially with Grundy now match-fit and increasingly dominant at stoppages.

    Solid win even if it was messy.

    I really miss Gawn.

    Over 700 metres gained, not bad.

    Great win Dees.  Very even team performance, and more selection headaches for our Match Committee next week. More than happy with the 10 goal margin and the 15% that came with it.  Onward and upward …….. Go Dees!

      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.
