Congratulations to Paddy and good luck to him. Clearly not a like for like for Steven May more a replacement for a McAdam / Melksham. Just goes to show the more attacking mindset and philosophy of the new coach which is refreshing for both players and supporters.

    The last electrician country boy we signed via Casey Demons worked out pretty well with 6 goals in the GF so have a good feeling about this one too! Welcome Paddy

    Plays like Will Hayward. Medium forward who is strong overhead and a good kick.

    Not sure.

    But I know they've got their April/Easter photo for the MFC calendar sorted - a picture of an oiled up Paddy flexing his biceps.

    The tag line will read:

    Hot Cross Guns!

    so given we have to have min 36 on primary list and we had max number of rookies, how do we fit Paddy in?

    Awesome news! Paddy’s the eldest of five boys. I was talking with his mum at the North praccy and she said they were all hoping like hell he’d get on the seniors list, and he has!

    Also great news that it’s not an ACL for Luker!

    Jamie Elliott with a few extra cm in height and a few hundred less AFL goals.

    Kick mark forward is his bread and butter but has rotated on to a wing at Casey and hopefully can play more half forward too.

    Happy to be proven wrong but I don’t think that’s an issue after the list lodgements after the draft.

    Senior list player goes on the Inactive List, you get an extra rookie spot regardless of the main/rookie split.

    26 goals in 29 Casey games (and reasonably accurate: 14 behinds)

    And 22 of the goals came in the last 14 games (with improved accuracy: 8 behinds)

    • 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.
