    Yep and my son was really looking forward to going but he's been sick so we had to cancel. Surprised it wasn't more widely marketed, I got an email a couple of weeks back but that was it.

    I attended the training session, but not for the free coffee, because I do not drink coffee. I had the great pleasure of talking to my good friend Ghostwriter. I also congratulated Trac on his 200th game. Good to see some goal kicking practice including Choco showing them how to kick.

    It would have no doubt cost you way more than a free coffee to get there Bob.

    How come the club didn’t just say that in the team announcement yesterday? Feels disrespectful to say he’s omitted if he’s actually being managed.

    Same way we did with Melky.

    I suspect he was actually omitted though, unless the official wording has changed?

    I think it's ok to drop someone like TMac from the team and say "your not best 22 this weekend but not sure to your form and you don't need to go back to work on stuff. You'll be an emergency."

    Hard to manage someone but name them emergency too?

    Finally though, I believe that "injured", "managed", and "omitted" have contractual definitions with respect to the EBA, and the status of a play can impact their receipt of match payments, their eligibility for injury compensation, and trigger clauses in contracts.

    So I suspect that if there is not a physical/fitness reason why someone is being "managed" they probably have to list them as "omitted" even if it feels disrespectful.

    Except Tom has been a very consistent, in fact the only consistent tall defender, so far this season.

    He has been our best tall defender all season. Hardly put a foot wrong. Saying omitted is an insult. If he is being tested say so.

    I agree with this (his form) but not sure why it is relevant to what I said.

    He can be our most consistent and in form defender up til now but still be omitted from the team, now that the coaches think the players that make up our best 22 are available.

    Does anyone seriously think TMac gives a rats what the team sheet says. He’s 42 and will likely be playing plenty more football this year.

    • 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.
