JJ. We don’t need an extra mid now Clarry is back.

    Schache should ruck the second half to get him in the game.

    I suspect we're giving him a chance to show up forward (Melksham's spot) but not showing much separation etc

    Schache has no mongrel. You can’t play a key position role at AFL if you don’t have the physical desperation. 
    I think Grundy is a little bit the same. Too much of a nice guy. Needs a lot more agro!

    Verrall - who looks a proper talent - should play forward to see how he goes.  If he can compete forward he’d almost be a crazy chance to play next week 

    Big Kyah has no place at this level, back to the talent league please 

    No he's not.

    We've got him for another year as I recall and the senior forward line for next year is looking shaky. I hope they are at least trying to give him direction but my expectation level is low

    Really do appreciate the updates from everyone but I am so confused about what’s going on!

     

    Carlton smacking Casey in the midfield. 

    A few Dees playing well, especially Spargo.

    The cupboard is bare... If Goodwin couldn't have seen our forward decline a few years back... Not exactly doing his job

     

    A lot of hopes were pinned on Sam Wiedeman I think.

    So Petty, JVR and Jefferson are not AFL standard? Ok Jason Taylor tell me more

    We’re not even having this conversation if Petty doesn’t get injured last week

    Nothing all that exciting from the forwards so far but seeing McDonald moving well is encouraging.

    I look at Tomlinson’s frame and agility and I’m curious to see what he could do forward: he’s kicked goals in the past but there’s no indication we have any interest in trying him.

    Good to see Brown, Petty, and Jordan watching in the stands. Obviously Brown and Petty are injured but Jordan would know he’ll likely lose his spot next round. Full credit to those three for showing up.

    We have forward depth, but it's not Goody's fault that we've been decimated with injury issues in that part of the ground. TMac, Fritsch, Brown and Petty have all spent time on the sidelines this season. 

    JVR and Jefferson are still raw but have promising futures.

    I’d have him 30-1 to play at best. But we haven’t seen him up forward to know.

    Obviously the tank isn’t there but he’s playing 50-60% ruck minutes and doing really well.

    The bar to getting a game - play 50% up forward and don’t be completely terrible, has never been lower.

    Yep... he was always one good game away...

    I suspect that Casey (ladder wise) will fall off a cliff next year. They've been carried by White, Munro and Buntine who are all getting on. Throw in both Tomlinson and possibly Dunstan moving on and it's a quick spiral down

    James Harmes is completely bereft of confidence. Everything he touches just turns to absolute crud.

    Spargo has gotten better after starting poorly.

    Great rundown tackled from Charlie Spargo. He's up and about, sniffing some AFL footy.

    The cupboard has Ben Brown, TMac, Petty and Fritsch in it. The list has plenty of tall forward talent, the problem is injuries.

    McDonald looks ok to me. Maybe another week at Casey. But I would play him in round 24.

    McDonald tries a don't argue but isn't quite strong enough. I'd love to see him get out on a lead or in a marking contest. Unfortunately Casey's delivery is too poor for such luxuries.

    And you could still see that then with him.

    Beautiful coast to coast play.

    Mark and goal to 'Starship' Jefferson.

    Harmes loves a handball to his teammates feet

    Been over using the HB all season.  Most of his kicks are up & unders as well.

    Caught far too often attempting the fend offs.  Seems to have lost the bit of burst speed he once had.

    He still has the work rate and effort but having a very ordinary season so far, mostly at Casey.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      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?
