People are referring to the fact that the results in the games played so far in this round have been upset games but Richmond are on a bit of a run having won 6 out of their last 7 games which is a better run that we’ve had in that time. 

So in reality, it’s us who have our backs against the wall and on that basis, I believe we’ll follow the trend of the round by upsetting the Tigers.

Nice reframe. 

Good prophylactic for MFCSS.

    Is this the time of the day where we add comments saying how important the game is and how nervous we all are?

    Yep you do

    If you are a home and away member you don’t. I am, but paid $15 to get seats so I don’t have to worry about coming early to find a spot.

    Still rate the tigers but I think the showdown result shows the form were building (crows are a decent side).

    Take the 4 points and move on. 

     

    Not often we’ve had 3 premiership players and two AA players in the emergencies!!

     

    Our defence will smash their fwd line

    Rivers and Salem will rebound hard

    handy win coming up

    We just need to win. The rest will take care of itself. 
     

    I am hoping JVR and Petty click up forward today. That will take us a long way to winning the flag. Especially if Tommo continues his good form.

    Doubling down. Richmond to win, but it doesn’t mean our season is over.

    Only if we can add a fit Fritta to that ( or any ) combination.

    What’s the thought process here Old?

    I know it’s the one game at a time line, but the players and coaching staff are fully aware of what’s before us. Most of us had thought a top 2 finish was out of reach, the seas have parted. We must capitalise.

    Just had a long walk. What a magnificent day it is out there and how good is it to have the option of heading along to the G to see the Dees maul the Tiges.

    These are great times we're living in people so get along to the G and support the mighty Demons.

    Go Dees

    Would love to be there, will be watching from home in Sydney. Waiting patiently for the AFL to release tickets to rd 24, then I’ll be down again for finals.

    What a cracking day weather wise. This round has opened up for us. 

    We have to win today for so many reasons & I really hope Petty gets through the game unscathed because previously it seems we bring him back early.

    I think may will set himself up for a big game today after his not so great game last week

    I think Richmond will be desperate with finals on the line, I think they should have beaten us on ANZAC Eve but for inaccuracy/accuracy differential, I think their backline is capable, their midfield is not missing anyone and is batting deep and I think they have just enough avenues to goal in Riewoldt, Martin and Bolton.  If Lynch was playing I'd be even more pessimistic.

    I also admit there's a bit of MFCSS vibe, and it's been there all week, even ahead of the upset results that make the win more important for us.  Sometimes "I got a feeling, a feeling deep inside ..."  I have money on Richmond little-win.

    Hope we go with Hibberd as sub and give Smith a full game at Casey.

    I also think a loss at this time is not fatal for any of the contenders - hell if it is, put your money on Carlton for the flag.  I will have a nibble at that though if Richmond wins.

    Today we just need to get the win and move on.

    Things I'm particularly interested in and on watch today are:

    1. Forward connection with JVR and Petty, a close watch for me. We need some continuity now at round 20.

    2. I'd like us to take the game on and switch more, play more exciting footy so we can "flick the switch" when needed. Tempo.

    3. Forward 50 entries from our mids & half forwards, lowering the eyes.

     

    The backs and mids will take care of themselves more often than not so the above I will be playing close attention to.

    Cmon Dees, we've got this.

    Be loud and strong today everyone as I expect Richmond to be up and about today.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
