Well they’ve got to play practice matches if they weren’t playing. Last time I checked you can get injured in a practice match. It’s just part of footy, you could get injured first minute of round 1

No

It's about odds. In the practice match you have say a 10/1 chance that if an injury occurs it will happen to a top line player. In this game it's a certainty

    Not much to report as far as Demon representatives are concerned.

    Kozzy had a couple of nice early touches but otherwise quiet.

    I get what you’re trying to say, but I just disagree that they should not do this due to potential injuries. This is good for the game.

    Let’s keep it that way. Quiet is good.

    Riv is not a great kick. Not sure he is our midfield star of the future

    Was he ever expected to be? He is good but a level below the a graders

    I heard this morning that Tom Green is out with an ACL from their practice match.

    FWIW I thought it was just an errant elbow from Georgiades that might have got him in the jaw. He does get landed on a lot though. Something in the way he body spoils to put the forward off balance under the ball.

    Pretty much, look at the injuries this in the intra games this week.

    The difference is that in a practice match players are playing with their teammates to practice team tactics etc. Whereas that can't happen tonight. So the loss of a player tonight results from a risk with no value for the team unlike the same risk in a practice game.

    Well yeah Tom Green did an acl at an intra club match. It happens, which is why it’s no reason to not play origin games

    Exactly. I like the idea of it being a preseason game as well. It was always a problem in the middle of the season.

    Not true. I gave a reason in an earlier post. You may think it is not a great reason, but ...

    Rivers getting into the game...just not the same skills levels as those around him, shows up in this type of game.

    Sadly yeah, most of his disposals have been poor

    You could look at it that way. The teams should really have everything buttoned down by now – and your best players will always learn more playing with and against the other best players of the competition.

    • 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.
