Hopes for 2025

Iā€™m a little tired of all the drama player and board wise.

What I would like to see:

- injury free preseason for all Demon players and particularly Trac, Oliver, Gawn, Petty, Viney, Salem and May. Also McAdam to see if he can really play. Last preseason was really bad and it heavily impacted this year.

- new forward and midfield coaches.

- few board changes.

- one great draft pick and two good ones.

- get at least one if not two top 23 players in trading period. One May or Lever type quality player adds a lot to the team.

- we must have a bit up our sleeve in salary cap, use it wisely.

- good draw (Tigers twice)! Play Freo once!

- then stability. Board level down.

    Agree with everything you want. Just remember, we will have to pay at least part of Gus's contract for the next 4 years out of the salary cap. Eg.

    '25.Ā  Ā 10%

    '26.Ā  Ā 25%

    '27.Ā  Ā  50%

    '28.Ā  Ā  100%

    That means some juggling required. Thanks Brayden. šŸ˜

    I'd really love the club to sue Collingwood/AFL/Maynard to recoup those costs.

    *No more scandles and innuendo.

    *Fix our structural issues inside 50.

    * Bolster our midfield mix through draft or trades.

    * Remove the Rat from the ranks that keeps leaking info.

    * Find a new president and CEO.

    We need younger players with solid experience but with little or static improvement since 2021/22 to step up to the next level. They include, Sparrow, Chandler, Bowey, McVee and VDR. We need the chop out ruckman problem settled as itā€™s been stuffing up our key forward set up.Ā

    honestly us fans deserve to see a finals win. hopefully at the MCG. for this to happen we need to have a good preseason with few injuries, but it is definitely within our potential.

    I have zero hope we will win a flag in 25.

    I think we won't even make the finals.

    Our fwd line is still a mess.

    Our midfield has imploded. Oliver's form all over the place. Tracca and Viney's murmurings about leaving. Injury cloud over Tracca.

    Anb moved on.Ā 

    It's hard to fathom how much we have fallen in three years.

    Id like to be positive but it's extremely hard to do so the way we finished this year and all the off field anticsĀ 

    Playing for the Mfc is a privilege and a few players need to recognize this.Ā 

    I hope the club is lethal in it's pruning in the next few months. And despite our lack of depth, I hope next year players are relegated to the twos after insipid efforts and not constantly gifted games they don't deserve.

    Seston finished equal 4th in Casey B & F with Laurie. I think he will get another year.

    Deakyn Smith won the Casey B&F in 2023 and still got delisted.

    Sestan averages 11-12 possessions and less than a goal per game. Ā He had some strong games 3-4 but missing below par in many others. Ā

    If this is the assessment, then I think KPP backman remains one of the key recruiting / development needs, that and/or the club needs to work out and stick to their guns on who of Petty/Turner are forwards and let the other solidify a role down back.

    Personally, despite some glimpses I think the Petty forward experiment has failed and I'd rather see him down back again.

    We've got a huge Steve May sized hole to fill when he retires.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demonsā€™ 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.

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ā€˜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.
