We'll take the 4 points but , sorry to say it , that was [censored] woeful !!!

I lost count of turnovers at about 500.

We must do better than that !

Yes, the turnovers were cruelling when these did not have to be ... the Dees allowed themselves to be hurried searching for spacemakers that never penetrated. Disco put in a good game - very handy with his ground coverage when it mattered. Well fought, Dees ... but it could have been a very prominent 'walkover' with a bit more thought and effort. Not too sure that Petty is 100% - he should be contributing more in terms of effective possessions and disposals.

    I did think max was best over all of the 4 quarter. After half time he had a few more contributors to help him, but the hurst half was his

    Interesting Kozzie saying they worked their “@%$3” off at training. 
     

    Fatigue looked like a feature of the game. Looking forward to seeing them run ON TOP of the grass.

    - Petty to return to the back line were he belongs and contributes.

    - BBB back forward 

    - tmac out of the team

    - Young Woey back to Casey

    - Trac, Oliver,  Viney need a big week next week, playing well below par

    Disco’s goal celebrations the highlight of the night for me. Fritta agrees 100%

    Pros: 4 points, Disco! BOG by a country mile. The kids, generally. 

    Cons: Lots of our stars quiet/sloppy. Too many turnovers. Not saying we will lose against the cats/blues, but if we play like that, we will. Need to sharpen up. Quick. Oh and Petty, the poor man’s Disco. WOG by a mile. Off to Casey pls.

    Not very convincing but 4 pts, go Dees

    Happy for Disco but that was a porridge game to watch.

    Im not sure whats happened in the last 2 weeks.

     

    That was swill that game.

    How we won by doubling their score I'm sure I'll never know.

    From the get go, kicking out on the full, missing set shots, kicking straight to Richmond player without any pressure on the kicker and worst of all the majority of our hand balls didn't go anywhere .

    I'm sure we couldn't have played more poorly.

    In the end we banged through some goals with better connection but there was still some sloppiness.

    How poor are poor Richmond.

    Petty out for sure.

    Sparrow too.

    I seriously think that was one of our worst efforts in at least  the last five years. Next week we play an unbeaten Geelong. We are in for a tough time.

    Fair dinkum, not invested, that's why he got crunched going back into a pack.

    Everyone else, repeat after me 1,2,3, We trust the match committee- Turner was a great selection.

    A good scoreboard, considering the number of passengers we had: Petty, Chandler, JVR, Sparrow.

    Trac was fumbly. Clarrie and Viney were below their best. Fortunately Disco, Maxy, Rick and Maysie were on song.

    How did Turner not win the medal?

    BOG by the length of a BBB run-up

     

    take a bow son.

    He's like another Nev Jetta. 

    I can see a rock solid player, swingman with this bloke.

    Lever post match interview "worst kicking I think I've ever seen before half time"

    At least we straightened up in the end.

    El, to be honest, he lost me with the interview he gave at the Golf Course with Adelaide mates. That might be just me but I probably now view him from a negative standpoint.

    He also doesn't appear to carry injury as well as others (of course, that's again me as just an onlooker).

    But if he doesn't buy in, why play him? He's not the same bloke from our Premiership year. He's marking time. Hope I'm wrong.

    Got the win but gees. We're gonna get smashed by Carlton and Geelong if we don't get out act together. So many mistakes. Relying too much on too few.

    Players come in and out of form at stages.  It's a long season.

    But to have this many out of form, especially through the middle.  We simply have to get two out of the three amigos back to their best to have any chance against the Cats.

    Then there's Petty.  He simply must take a spell at Casey to try and gain some match fitness and form.

    At this stage i'd also look to bring Sestan in for Sparrow.  He probably isn't quite ready for a four quarter match but could come in as the sub with Laurie brought in to the interchange.

    Was it really necessary to sign JVR for another FOUR years? Surely two would’ve been enough? Not saying he won’t make it, but seems a bit over the top for what he’s produced this year, another 5 years ahead, good luck to him

    If Shai Bolton got injured Richmond would well finish 18th this year.

    Disgraceful disposal. We made them look okay. 4 points is good but play like that next week and we will get done badly.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
