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.

Relaxxx we will not win. You can show this post if we do because I am confident we will not win.

Scully is ours everyone relax.

Brad Miller in the RUCK omg lol

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

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
