Pretty good summary YM. The tackling is symptomatic of a team of kids, but even so, it's pretty awful.

Who played on Hawkins?

Who didn't play on Johnson?

All today proves is what we already know; if we have the injuries we had last year, which incidentally is pretty much everyone who missed today (Anyone else concerned?) we will struggle to make the finals!

This is the first time in years I've felt we haven't had depth. A lot of talented but extremely inexperienced youngsters fighting it out against easily the best team in the country.

I do think in 3 years time, our depth will be sensational.

    Couldn't tell you who played on Hawkins because he never got near it. Couldn't tell you who didn't play on Johnson because they never got near HIM.

    Much of our injury list is a week or two away. Precautionary really.

    Shane Valenti - gun

    Stef Martin - potential to be a very good, mobile, smart key defender

    Aussie - not too bad

    Garland - has improved a lot since last year

    Buckley - will give us what we have lacked for years. Speed through the midfield

    Meesen - will play 22 games this year

    McNamara - showed a bit, great stuff for a 17 year old

    Sylvia - was a force in the 3rd quarter. This is his year

    Jones - the usual great game

    Every senior player that played thats not named James McDonald - all complete rubbish (White, Yze, Green, Holland)

    I've barracked for the Dees for 40 years and pay for premier membership every year.

    I travel interstate at leat 3 times every year. I go to ever Club function (B&Fs, the lot).

    I live in Torquay and have to put up with the crap I read about the Handbaggers every day.

    But I'll tell you all something for nothing - being equal favourites for the wooden spoon is dead right,

    We were flogged today by a team missing their best 4 - Ablett, Scarlett, Chapman and Harley.

    Three winners today only - Bell, Meesan and Buckley.

    The rest were crap. Don't be conned by what other posters might say.

    How Yze can be elected leader is beyond me. He's only interested in kicking 'miracle' goals'.

    We were made to look stupid today and if you believe any different you're living in gaga land.

    You forgot to mention that we were missing 15 of our best 25, plus our 2 first round draft choices. If you thought that we would be competitive with the side we had, you are delusional.

    And by the way, Harley is not in the Cats best 10, let alone top 4.

    • 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.
