Max just switching into overdrive for me.

Yeah he was immense!

let’s say Gawn going into overdrive and Smith onto Dusty was the turning point 😂

    Sparrow, Clarrie and Fritta make that team better on paper, pig too. Going to have some selection headaches soon.

    Easy one :

    Sparrow for Harmes

    Clarrie for JJ

    Fritta for Wowoedin

     

    Licking my lips. 😋

    I think we need to seriously consider resting a few for next week.

    We can get Hibbo, Sparrow, Smith and Grundy to cover a few players. 

    Harmes, Jordon and Woewodin should be in the gun regardless of the result.

    Nice to see new PBs for Petty and JvR kicking a career high 6 goals and 4 respectively.

    Gawn huge in the last half.

    He is, but we are also a tall forward short.

    See how many intercept marks Richmond got today in our forward line.

    Keep Tomlinson back, drop Harmes/Woewodin/Jordon and move Smith forward.

     

    His name is Robert Paulson.

    Sorry, that's a glitch.

    His name is Brody Grundy

    Good win, they came hard and like the crows did with us last week we just never let them get away when things weren’t going our way.

    We are an experienced side and stood up when we needed to. Some very important players hitting form at the right time.

    Clarry, Fritsch and Sparrow all to come in. Forward line mix today with Fritsch added is probably the one we go with

    Watch the” Petty can’t play forward” posters jump on the bandwagon now.

    It's not about whether or not he can play forward, it's about what it does to the backline when he does. Thank god Lynch (and Nankervis) were out.

    Swings and roundabouts.

    A highly entertaining game.

     

    I was worried at times!

    Glad the Demons got the job done.

    A great win!

     

    GO YOU MIGHTY DEMONS!!! 🔴🔵👹

    We didn’t just get the job done.  They were desperate, and we ‘broke’ them!

    Fantastic last quarter but until then our midfield and defence lacked pace and co-ordination. Outstanding displays by Max the Magnificent and the much-maligned Petty (six shots, six goals). Melksham's skills with both feet proved invaluable with two crucial goals from acute angles.

    We now need to win only two more games to clinch a top-four spot. Win all four and second place is possible. Altogether a superb round of results for us, and we still have Oliver and Fritsch to come back. I reckon Joel Smith's pace and ability to read the play earned him a chance to start ahead of Tomlinson next week.

    And to put some icing on the weekend cake,  Freo's upset win failed to lift them on the ladder.

    We will fit Oliver back in, but not sure Fritz will be a shoe in, 

    Fritter for ANB.

    Not like for like, but good for average

    I can put my hand up as being in that camp, but to be fair no one saw this coming. Nothing he’d done playing fwd this year gave any indication he had a game like that in him.

    Can't agree with that. He looked like he was going to rip the game apart before he was injured the last time he played fwd.

    I saw it coming, and there's more to come

    Was tommo subbed off injured or tactical? Missed it at the ground...

     

    Tactical I believe. He didn't look that happy after the game. It was as if he saw his chance of playing finals slipping through his fingers. I feel sorry for him.

    They threw everything at us, but we stood tall and found our best forward line combination for the year with Petts, Roo, and Melky!

    The best part about Petty's game was that it was actually against a pretty good defence

    Agree to disagree, didn’t read any comment in the pre game thread that had Petty kicking a bag. I’m glad that he did. I just find it childish when people want to carry on with their “to those who doubted…..”, footy’s an emotional game. I was wrong and I’m happy I was.

    Thanks to Richmond and the MFC for a seriously entertaining match. Was introducing the sport to my Albanian hosts and not embarrassed at all. They loved it. Plus Yze! We have at least six new fans - but I think I can convert the whole village.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
