    Fantastic presser from TMac:

    Media Conference | Tom McDonald

    TMac speaks so well. I’d love someone to ask him to talk about what it’s like at footy clubs during periods of success, compared to when they’re really struggling. There aren’t many players who have really traversed the ladder up and down to the extent he has. In his 100th game, he had a 26-74 W-L record. By game 193 he had a flag under his belt.

    Get him on the pod @Demonland !

    Class act is T Mac.

    Great insights on the Kossie situation as well as playing against his brother I thought.

    On playing with Oscar: he stopped short of saying mum would have killed him if he’d put Oscar back on the injury list.

    Fritsch, was disinterested and lazy last week and he gets a call up???? PARK ME club is rewarding mediocrity NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

    Uninterested maybe. Not disinterested as I am sure he is happy to be on the payroll at least

    Possibly my favourite player of all time. He reminds me a lot of myself, just taller and with more athletic ability. That probably comes of as self-absorbed (my favourite player is the one most like me). Oh well, we like who we like!

    With Melksham being managed not ommitted who do you suggest be promoted in the role that Melksham plays or should I take a guess? No forward looked worth anything at Casey last week based on what I saw but a role needs to be filled and the Fritsch will know if he does not perform he will be back out with Melksham back the following week. He should be given a defensive job on Vlaustin and be purely assessed against his ability to execute it.

    You know the answer to this question, The love child, Satan was mentioned however seemed to be torn with himself

    Edited by Pennant St Dee


    If Fritsch kicks a few great, however I want to see him tackle, shepherd, lead and chase with intensity and follow up efforts. No token throwing out 1 arm. Ball or body at any contested situation he is presented with tomorrow night

    Can't argue with the team selection , which has produced the best possible lineup from available players.

    I just hope Fritsch can regain his kicking confidence with an early goal or two.

    Although I am not a Howes fan, I can't help feeling he is a bit unlucky that McVee is ready to return this week.

    He put in a better showing against Fremantle than I had expected.

    As good a team as could be selected with the available players.

    I will be watching as usual but this week it starts at 11.30am my time. A glass of wine at half time as an aperitivo. Followed by lunch after the game.

    I would have selected a little differently by retaining Howes and dropping Sharp. I just think that would have given us a bit more flexibility with some of the positional rotations.

    Bring last week's game and we run out easy winners. Slide back into earlier habits and we get done.

    I hope the coaching team bring last week's style of planning as well.

    Pressure, pressure and more pressure and a defined task for Viney.

    Go Dees!

    • 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.
