Who’s idea was it to have a 4 gamer lead our forward line tonight on the big stage?

    We'll win this. Tiges and umps have played their trump cards now we run over the top of them

    Would have to say as much as i love Sparrow on tonight's first half we def need Harmes to come straight in for him.

    Sparrow would need to have some second half to justify his place in this team from here.

    Does anybody notice how, just like last year, every team we play against knows they have a chance of winning if they just work hard. We were average against the WAFL Eagles, destroyed by the bombers and getting shown up again today.

    Still confident that we will get up and win this game but by hell these umpires are absolutely terrible

    This is an insipid performance. We have a lot of defensive structure problems with and without the ball. 

    Right now we are not a top 8 side. Something stinks about this side atm.

    Our tall forward stocks are in tatters. We have a few promising kids for the future, but for the now while we’re in our premiership window, it’s dire.

    BBrown body is cooked.

    Tmac body is cooked.

    JVR is not ready.

    Schache is a depth player.

    Jefferson isn’t ready.

    Petty isn’t a forward.

    If we don't lift our tackling and chasing effort considerably in the second half we're done for. Too many players are playing bruise free footy, looking to smother and corral instead of tackling.

    KOZZY - please give us the magic in the 2nd half 

    JVR -deer in headlights. But BBB and TMCD also very uninspiring.  Schache not quite tough enough but probably gets a shot soon.

    JVR is being out-bodied too easily. Needs to get on his bike and move Balta around.. 

    I’m not sure sitting the ball on a 19 year old kids head is setting him up for success.

    We've gone back to kicking and hoping

    Even if we get up and win from here, we’ve got some serious issues on every line now basically. Our midfield contest work needs to be fixed asap. It’s our one wood, so we need to stop losing it there as a starting point!

    Yep..  BBb (assuming fully fit) wouldve been been a slight step up &  target/option.

    JVR needs to do some more work at Casey for a while

    I know he’s young and inexperienced and a lot on here love him, but JVR has shown nothing. 

    How can you expect him to show anything when his forward partner in crime is a CHB.

    Another game where selection was woeful. Should have brought in the natural forward target in Schache as the extra tall target.

    JVR is playing on Richmond's best Defender.

    This is on Goody.

    It's a worry. Maybe Tomlinson?

    Deck chairs on the Titanic. 

    But I'm glad Tmac was dropped.

    Richmond average 75 points a game and have 52 to half time.

    Ok the van Rooyen experiment is over

    Granted he has been slow and clumsy so far tonight but he's still a youngster on a steep learning curve. Hasn't worked out yet how to time a run to provide a lead or find space like Fritsch does. Far too early to just write him off.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
