Whilst it was a shocker on the weekend and the media highlighted when Cale may have jumped out of the way, I was impressed when he made up for that by running with the flight of the ball and took what was coming.

For a first gamer it was a good sign.

There are a few blokes who could look to number 10 for some tips on committment, I wont name names, but 32, 34, 13 and 29 come to mind.

    agree...

    a definite positive...

    excellent foot skills and also appears good on his feet!!

    yes the hand being pulled off the ball was not something he would like to see but all part of the learning curve...

    was Paul Johnson another positive?

    Yes, at least he looked like taking an over head mark, unlike white.

    Jones another, he is all heart and skills.

    I just wished there were some true leaders around the ball to help, maybe it would be worthwhile for the 1st Q on saturday to let Neitz run around at CHF to knock a few blokes over and clear a path for the youngsters.

    The first 15 minutes would want to be pure passion this weekend.

    He didnt jump out the way, Robertson called him out of the mark. If we were a smart team Robertson should of called him into the mark and blocked for him!

    Don't know if Johnson was a positive. He looks capable but he is so bloody slow, it's frustrating to watch him chase.

    He's not half as slow as Newton, and at least he chases.

    Cale was one of the few lights on a dark day.. Its a fair call to say he will only get BETTER... more than a few out there are only going to get WORSE !!

    There were probably only 5-6 blokes who could walk off with respect that day...Cale was one !!

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • 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?
