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.

Quote from 774 about Paul Johnson after he got outmarked and gave away a free "He's become a liability out there...."

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.

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

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
