    6 goal lead. Tigers kicked 3 to get within 13 points but Dees held on. 
     

    Great win over a top 4 team.

    Good win, but disappointing we gave up those last few goals

    Yep, but it was a good side doing it, as you'd expect of them, not a poor side letting it happen.

    But our girls managed to stop them - dead - on 95% of available occasions.

    👊

    How good is it to actually hear the theme song at the end of the game?

    Very!

    'Twas all a nice tonic today after my last two trips here!

    Gee I wonder how uncomfortable that mask is that liv is wearing 

    She says it just pinches the nose a bit; otherwise she forgets she's got it on until an oppo player tries a Batmobile sledge!

    We could win the next two and still miss out - what a shame and what a condemnation of such a lop sided shambles of a fixture.

    It's messy isn't it. Was sort of a 'friend', though, it seems, over those compressed last 3?

    back on so can't have been much

    I think Zanker hurt her wrist/hand (maybe fingers) in a pack marking fall. She got up shaking her hand and in a big of discomfort. I don't think it was mentioned by the commentators.

    Great game from the girls.

    Gee I wish they could find cameramen or a producer that can actually see where the ball is and not show players standing by themselves while the action is off screen.

    6 - Bannan - 4 goals,  a direct assist and 3 other score involvements. 

    5 - Hore  - another class in captaincy 

    4 - Hanks - so often in the right place at the right time 

    3 - Heath - limited Conti's influence and got her own ball

    2 - Purcell - tough as teak and makes a huge difference to our midfield 

    1 - Gall - has had a great few weeks. Really strong today, especially her first half

    I hope I can vote after watching the replay. I'm afraid I go to our goals, at fence level, every quarter, so can't do the backs or even the mids justice in my 'live' perceptions.

    That being said, it's getting to be some forward line!

    Particularly good on a number of fronts, Biff, so I reckon worth slightly more than just a 'Thanks' emoji in this case 👍 🙂

    Super effort today. Both teams threw everything at each other in a high intensity game. Great game to watch, our girls showed so much tenacity in their attack on the players and ball.  We are developing some great young talent as well, just great to see.

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
