Too early to start a Road to the Finals post?? 🤣

We need to win 11 from 16… that’s winning 2 from every 3 games…

Sportsbet have us at $3.

    We need scalps before any talk of finals are brought up in any logical conversations.

    That friend who shows you the final season of Game of Thrones and then suggests binge watching the rest from the start.

    Even if they turn out to be right, it isn't a rational decision to trust their taste.

    Can’t see us not making finals and then taking the flag from 6th

    Elimination final V Carlton W by 56

    Semi Final V Hawks W by 34

    Preliminary V Collingwood W by 29

    GF V Geelong W by 7 after being 56 points down late in the second.

    Only having kids would top that 4 weeks. That’s rolled gold!

    Got a mid-season target for option B, wouldn't mind a nice follow-up in September. I'll let you know how it compares.

    Let’s play 4 Quarters of Good Solid Football first.

    Right now we are a V12 engine running on 7 Cylinders

    Much tuning and balancing to be done

    Happy with what you've seen though over the last fortnight, SWYL? At least in snippets...?

    Happy with the wins, of course

    But our final Quarters have been bog ordinary, for some reason

    Good sides will take us apart if it doesn’t improve

    Is such a dichotomy:

    We want a team that puts itself in a position to compete in finals every year;

    Vs

    Let's take it one week at a time.

    Personally I think we have way underachieved the season to date and have more upside than alot of the teams above us. The V12 firing on 7 cylinders is a reasonable analogy. Trac and Clarry are better than current form. The past few weeks we have seen what happens when Kossie, Max and Vines start to fire.

    We will need things to go right injury wise from here and a few young players like JVR etc to stand up and take the next step, but if that happens, I think we are better than alot of the teams currently above us.

    Who knows.

    We have played one very good game, and two good games.

    It’s not a case of ‘one week at a time’ it is more ‘ask me how we look in one weeks time’…

    I dont ever see much about Ben Crowe on here. He is the best mindset coach in the business and that's what we need.

    Goody, Clarry and Trac will only benefit from him.

    We won the first 10 games straight in 2023 but that's not how you win a premiership look at Sydney last year.

    Peak at the right time with the right mindset and do damage

    didn’t we win the first 10 games in 21 and 22?

    My understanding is Crowe came in for the review and he's no longer around. Happy to he corrected on that point...

    And @Wells 11 , we won the first 9 in 2021 (we lost to Adelaide by a point in Round 10 from memory), but won the first 10 in 2022.

    1. Beat the Eagles.

    2. Clarry & Petracca play a 3 quarter game on way back to playing four quarters! Versus half a game!

    3. JVR play competitive footy and kick some goals!

    4. Play with aggression!

    5. Then worry about the next week!

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ 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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

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