Big call to suggest we're tanking when we're actually in front at quarter time. What does that say about our opposition?

Exactly.

I was talking more about matchups, a lack of any kind of attacking options, all defence, defence, defence, but no scoring.

And just because I say we're tanking doesn't mean it'll work!

There's nothing in this. If the Toigs were up by 5 goals going into the last 10 minutes I STILL wouldn't be confident.

Newton.....This bloke amazes me. He finally gets a chance to prove himself at AFL level and he just looks disinterested, slow and lazy. PICK THE F'ING BALL UP WITH YOUR HANDS....

You would think you would try to show you have work rate and potential to be a key forward to your coach.

Ummm Richmond is the worst team I have ever seen. We are losing because we're tanking, they are barely winning because they are [censored]. We could easily beat them if we tried, but we're not and the matchups are a joke.

Possibly the most depressing game I've been to, mainly because we are a big chance of winning despite having our D grade side out there.

I know most here are pro tanking but the way this season is going is testing my loyalty.

If you teach the defenders to go up three at a time can you then unteach that?

I am ashamed & embarrassed. This tanking thing might just misfire.

On SEN people are texting in saying they're leaving because it's so bad.

I worry about our next 2 weeks though. Even if we're lucky enough to stay on 12 points, having Sylvia come back in against Freo AND NM will cause us issues.

This is the Scully cup for us, in a big way.

it is an absolute indictment that we have to put martin the ruck ahead of him to give spencer a rest.

I'm having to rely solely on the live statistics for any information.

Valenti looks to be getting a fair bit of the ball, how is he going?

getting some of it, but kicking and decision making is mediocre to say the best. has a crack unlike some others

this bloke infuriates me. we are generally a crap side so the odd crap kick or crap handball im used to but his efforts are putrid. the sooner we rid ourselves of him the better

Dan did you know you can watch game live on bigpond/afl.com if you're in US, Canada or Europe.

This game is a joke. A VFL team would be beating either team by 6 goals

Not if you're on a MAC BBP... The AFL still in the dark ages.

We're in trouble of winning this. Really in trouble.

McDonald playing a great game so far.

Scully is ours everyone relax.

The Forward line near the end of the QTR was Warnock, Frawley, Spencer and Barts

If we win this, it won't be Bailey and the coaching staffs fault, they are doing everything within their power to lose it. Richmond are truly awful, we at least have an excuse.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the tiges lose every game, including this one, they are on 18 points, ie LESS THAN 20. That would give them an extra pick at the end of the first draft round? No?

Myabe they are tanking too?

I can't watch this. This is the most blatant tank in the history of tanking. Carlton look like amateurs compared to us. Surely there will be ramifications during the week. I feel for Richmond fans.

I think it's actually 16.5 points. Richmond's draw with North has them over.

petterd and grimes are gonna be neighbours in the dressing room for a long time. they will be longtime servants of the MFC.

watching this is hell. wanting to lose goes against every instinct

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
