Same old article in my opinion, nothing we haven't read in the last few days five times already!

    Interesting...just softening the inevitable blow?

    I'd prefer to put a positive spin on it. It confirms (to me at least) that we are heading in the right direction. The future looks bright under the new regime.

    Yes. That is good spinning.

    I didnt read into the article what you did. I think it says bunker down.

    There is a Low pressure system on the way.

    But the brightness you refer to may be a silver lining... I guess.

    I think its a very good article, and reallys shows we have someone committed to developing youngster at this club, unlike the last 3 years.

    I hate us losing, but if its giving game to younger players, then I am all for it.

    I am confident, if fully fit, our midfield will upset quite a few sides this year.

    Above all else if we can unearth 2 young key position players to 'come of age' it will be enormous for the Dees.

    Goodonya! We mightn't entirely agree on the interpretation of the article, but we BOTH hope I'm right.

    DITTO.

    The footy dept' are now realists...This is great news, now I feel confidant the club can build a team to win finals instead of a team built just to make the finals.

    • 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.
