Time to give Jefferson and Fullarton a run and see what they have to offer.

    Oliver was putrid in the last quarter, let Green push him around like he was a first year player. Tmac looked like the tmac of old.., Have we won a close game since 21?? We buckle like a cheap seat from Anaconda 

    Beat the Lions last year off the top of my head

    Why can’t we seal these close games 🤷‍♀️

    Just watch those last 3 minutes.

    We didn't even man up properly when they took position.

    We're so one dimensional

    Genuinely lost that game due to the umpiring. 

    3rd game where a sh-t free, this time to toby ducking, costs us a loss by under a goal. Sick to death of it.

    Head in the sand. Their handball game in the middle of the game and our horrible centre clearance work were the difference.

    If anyone has a cogent argument this is not sports entertainment I would like to hear it.

    Tough loss.

    Thought our effort was very good most of the night. stuck at it when the game looked gone

    They just had that bit more class than us when it counted.

    The boys can hold their heads up. We were just beaten by a better team on the night

    Go dees.

    Platitudes, we are Sheeit so many ordinary players

    Billings and Laurie not up to AFL standard.

    Now that I believe in ... Turner should have been on earlier as his bulk and marking were missing up forward. Rotten season for all of us.

    After being so good for 3 quarters, perhaps he didn't have the fitness base to go a 4th.

    [censored] we miss Trac, that's all I have to say. Cue in the rack, stub the durrie out and throw the stubble against the wall. Time to look forward to 25.

    Who would have thought that Tom Green would have won that last centre clearance. We were shizen all night in the middle.

    It was obvious how we cleared out the space … then Tom Green knew it and CLARRY WAS ASLEEP. Clarry not the contested player that he was. Green beat him to the footy on many occasions.

    You'd think they would have put Koz in the guts with a minute to go.

    Instead they waltzed it out

    Effort was there. Just not good enough. Bloody frustrating though.

    - Lose to Carlton by a point 

    - Lose to Brisbane by 5 points

    - Lose to GWS by 2 points

    Mids got absolutely smashed all night.

    You'd think by the last quarter we would have at least try to really go defensive on their mids to stop their stoppage dominance, but no we didn't.

    Oliver giving Green space in that last centre contests sums it all up.

    We cost ourselves. They dominated us for long periods of time. Used it better and were just a class above. We tried hard but they’re simply better.

    We don't run with the ball and link up, don't hit targets and we are so slow to move it in transition.

    We only looked dangerous when we were taking the game on in the last 6 minutes.

    Such a cop out excuse.

    Footy is a 4 quarter game.

    No. He switched off. He is a shell of his former self, he was unaccountable

    Heartbreaking. 

    But the loss sums up 2024 perfectly.

    We showed glimpses, but not consistent enough. Our lapses are too frequent and too costly. Better teams are overtaking us now and we’re too slow to respond and too little too late. 

    Can we get a Hogan type player? 🤣

    Good to see Petty continue to improve.

    Still a sniff for finals but will be tough for the reasons above. Still hoping.

    • 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.

      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?
