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

Tell us something we don't know!

    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.

    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?

  • Quote

    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

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
