Tank pls. No point risking Gawn, and a few others.

    Hopefully the Saints can beat either Cats or Blues and we can snap up pick 5

    What statement might that be, given that the club has known for weeks that Nibbler is leaving?

    Cool story 


    No Oliver will be interested because in theory Sparrow should play as a full time on baller. it'll be great to see how he goes.

    He’s the bloody future 

    Future of what? He can't defend and doesn't offer enough in attack. He's had an ok first season at the AFL level but needs a massive preseason rather than be gifted any extra games. Has to come back stronger, more physical and more willing to get the ball.

    For everyone talking about the game style right now both good and bad I have an question for you and I'm keen to hear the responses:

    - Would you like to see us attempt to play an attacking, free flowing, 'through the middle' style of footy and see us try to develop this even if it means potentially being smacked by 10 goals plus?

    OR

    - Do you want to see us go up there and put up a fight with the strangle approach we used against Port? It won't be pretty but if executed we may lose by a small margin or even get a win.

    Keen to hear your thoughts. 

    Hate to be all Ted Lasso but i'd just tell them go out there make the supporters proud and have fun aha. I get its not super professional and very juniors-like but what else is there to do at this stage of the year.

    I'm anticipating quite a few changes to the list and gameplay next year so these 2 games are a bit meaningless.

    Given Goody’s comments he has to play this week or next.

    I would like to see Sestan given a run. 

    After a promising period mid season I reckon his last month has been horrid. 

    A pity as I think he's one of the more intriguing players on our list

    Fair enough but I would still give him a run this week or next week to see how he reacts to the situation and to give him some clear incentive over the off season.


    These next games mean something...but the opposite of what they usually do, we want to lose them and want others to win to give us a better draft pick potentially.

    Winning them won't achieve anything and supporters know that at this stage for 2024.  Winning would be a waste, not to mention a meaningless risk for players like Gawn. 

    What do we want out of 2024 at this late stage?

    Our season is cooked, so how do we get the best result from now for the MFC.

    Do we know if Fullerton can play at AFL level or do we just leave him at Casey until we delist him. Drop Gawn, in for medical,

    Bring in Jefferson for 2 matches after telling him this is what AFL is like and strive over preseason to get there

    Use the remaining 2 games as a positive for 2025, if in doubt play them.

    Whats the worst that can happen? Lose 2  dead games, have a look at players and possibly improve our draft position.

    It wont matter to the vast majority of our supporters, they wont go anyway, Petty will still be a forward, at night, cold, dark or just couldnt care. Let us see the possible future and enjoy the DEES at the G. For now!

    I know it won't happen, but I'd love to see Fullarton come in for the two remaining games and JvR played forward for 100% of both games.

    Saints should beat the blues. They are decimated by injury. West Coast should beat them too. It may also be a double benefit as saints might get first round compensation for Battle.

    I do think we are a chance to win either of our games, though won’t be favourites.

    Hopefully its Goodwins second last game as Coach 

    Listened to Dwanes world the other day did anyone else catch Chris from Camberwells take?? He reckons Goody will be gone by seasons end. Now I know everyone has an opinion but for some reason I have a sneaky suspicion that he could be onto something here!

    So far no announcement re Jeffo. Am I the only one that senses a lost opportunity on behalf of the club to blood this player based on very good recent form? The club has missed a Golden opportunity here to give the supporters something to look forward to. Very disappointing!

    • 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.

    • 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?

    • 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.
