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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
