Sloppy first half but Hawks pressure was high. 

Happy to secure the second chance. 😮‍💨

    I’m getting used to this top 4 thing!

    Great game by Lever. Rivers, Gus and Melk good, too

    I only got to see the last half due to other commitments, but the game went fairly much to script I would have thought. The Hawks are no easy beats, and they took it right up to us.

    Our stoppage and clearnace work looked a but shaky (this is an opinion, I haven't looked at the stats) 

    Lever, Melksham, Rivers and Viney looked like standouts. 

    I think all but one of Bowey's disposals were turnovers or goals - he is a bit of a worry. 

    Our ability to defend from anywhere on the ground is a thing of beauty. Brayshaw, Hunter, ANB getting back to help out time and time again keeps us in every game we play. 

    JVR - chills.

    Top 4, and looking as strong or better than the other 3.

    Why was trac handballing, does he have a sore foot?

    Oliver looked like someone who hasn't played alot of footy this year. Laurie showed enough. Tmac needs to return. Kozzie looks disinterested, needs a week at Casey to wake him up. Viney is a beast... McVee looks good, Rivers is a potential captain.  Hope Fritch is ready for finals. Van rooyen = a long year for a debut season.

    A one dimensional team this is not.

    Sit on Oliver and keep Trac quiet, we can still beat you.

    Viney and Brayshaw have been very good

    Jake Lever marked everything that came his way

    For some bizarre reason he double punched one right in front of the interchange bench. Otherwise he would have gobbled that up too.

    Apologies to Jake Bowey but he made some rank mistakes the last 2 weeks. Needs to be better than that. Schache a strange sub.

    I’m just glad we got the win and no injuries. Hawks were always going to be hard to beat. Double chance secured so let’s go to Sydney and play with a little more freedom and fluency.

    anb was excellent. Lever Gus jvr Viney also impressive.

    looking forward to finals.

    go dees

    Kozzie is never playing at Casey.

    Port will know at h/f break that Melbourne won. Be interesting to see how they perform in 2nd half.

    They want to finish 3rd????. and play at the Gabba.   BS

    I dont . Ive said all along lock in 4th.

    If by some miracle Essendone win we'll know beforehand and then rethink the Buddy Circus.

    Pies will finish 1 and we'll be waiting.

    To me it looks like Bowey has been told to be more offensive? I reckon McVee is still the more defensive HB, with both of Salem and Bowey trying to hurt the opposition with their ball use, however it hasn't worked as of late.

    So he is a worry for giving up a goal...every player makes mistakes.

    Terrific win but the second chance is a priority asset as you mention. We will need it - just for injuries, most likely; perhaps, a drop in form over a gruelling finals season might cause a hiccup, regretfully. Good call, McQueen.

    Credit to the club and players for securing top four for the 3rd successive season. Something completely unprecedented in my time following the Demons, and something to be very grateful for. I actually felt we were getting a bit shaky for finals before the last win streak so top four is a massive result. 

    Do they have it in them to find a way to 3 more wins this year? I'm not sure but they have given themselves a chance to fight for it...if we can't take home the ultimate prize I hope we make another team really earn it on the way out...

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
