Looking at the Cats v Blues game (which is a ripper to watch) I reckon 5 teams are now positioned to be genuine contenders. Cats, Blues, Giants, Swans and Dees. I feel there is a gap after this. All 5 have shown finals winning football. It is about bringing both pressure AND skills together in a game on the day, and any of the 5 can beat the other team if they bring these two components on the day.

Can't wait for us to play Blues & Cats - should be great games.

    A flag & 3 top 4 finishes and yet our club can’t attract a gun fwd, watching Camero, the  blues fwds & the best we can do is Brown with a banged knee and fortunate it lasted in 2021. 

    Who do you suggest we should have recruited?

    May be premature to be definitive about us. In two weeks we will know I reckon.

    The Grundy idea seemed like a good idea at the time. But yeah there did seem to be nobody available.

    I feel pretty good about our top 4 aspirations, especially based on our defensive strength. We rarely get 80 points scored against us, and we have a LOT of improvement available.

    It’s been an issue since we lost Hogan & yes we got May, the Grundy deal was a disaster! Did we look at Peter Wright? Did we go hard at any of the king bros? It just appeared our recruiters were not looking to draft any kpp fwds

    This is such a good game for us - an opportunity for the coaches to really study the weaknesses in these teams. Geelong clearly have a powerful forward line but their rucks and mids are getting thrashed. We need to exploit that. With Carlton, they are doing a great job of getting good attacking clearances from the middle. We need to make sure we have a defensive sweeper at centre bounces - perhaps they could give that role to Sparrow. But it is all on display for us to learn from.

    Geelong are the real deal. Unbelievable.

    They have one of the best fixture.

    No chance Danger plays next week if he’s got even a slight hamstring awareness. With his history and at his age, they won’t risk it.

    Have had for the last 20 years. Their fixture alone will get them into finals pretty much every year

    It would drive me over the edge.

    They play to their strengths. Move the ball better than any team. 

    Carlton win clearances and contested ball but it is chaos and must be so taxing physically. Cats sit off.

    If Melb. are to beat them our outside runners are going to have to have a day 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.
