    Sometimes I wonder why Sparrow gets selected.

    Today is one of them.

    he is pretty important to the midfield rotation and making sure our other mids get a rest

    Better quarter, much more contested ball and a few more (earned) free kicks our way.

    Our movement is better this week but our kicking inside 50 is still ****house. 3 marks i50 from 27 entries, vs 8 from 27 for them. Need to do a lot better at kicking to advantage

    Still a lot of work needed on our entries. Oliver has absolutely butchered some of his entries. Trying to be too cute and just completely missing the target.

    Feel like if we just get some better connection and can nullify Jones better we’ll run away with it.

    Just today?

     

    Credit to Goodwin. Our attacking method feels different. We are using the corridor more. Our field kicking has been good. We are taking a moment to assess the next kick attacking out of half back. I like it. 
     

    Nice to have BB and Tmac back. Both are doing their job well. Clarry is a beast. Really loving the look of howes, Windsor and billings. 
     

    Plenty to like!

    May and Clarry physically monstering them

    Billings and Windsor providing the class

    Seeing a lot more kick and mark and spread than last year. Far from perfect but good to see Goody is implementing changes to the game plan

    Umpiring standard this season leaves a lot to be desired.

    We seemed to have taken our foot off their neck in the second halve of the second quarter.

    Great effort from Bb and good to see Chin of old.

    Kozzie gone cold.

    May playing very well.

    Hore is back where he belongs.

    Jvr totally mia that quarter.

    He and Fritta need to get going. Moreso Fritta.

    Max atoning for last week.

    Viney was quiet that quarter after a blistering start.

     

    Milky in the rooms giving advice to fritta 

    obviously a coach in the making really good to see. And petty wandering around as well

    If Sparrow and Fritta can get involved, this would be a big help in consolidating a lead.

    Seemed like we took our foot off a little in the second half of that qtr. a little bit of a missed opportunity but I appreciate it’s warm out there. Might need to conserve energy?

    Windsor has been excellent.  So quick of mind and hands. Love him already.

    Using the half time breaks to read more this year.

    Currently reading Hymns of the Republic by S.G Gwynne which details the last year of the Civil War. Highly recommend!

    Pleasantly surprised by TMac, BBB and Hore. Sparrow has done SFA. Lever still below par. 

    Stoked with Bbb.

    From reports I was expecting him to play with a cane

    • 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.

      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?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
