Your a smart fella arent you? Work it out. Or do you think its only the players fault? Believe whatever you want, everyone is entitled to their opinion after all.

Somebody asked me an honest question so I gave them an honest answer within the rules of this forum. If you dont like then dont read it.

Captain obvious that there is more going on wouldnt you think, an offseason of hell and just lost a multi million dollar sponsor.

So in other words you've got nothing!

Just filling in time before Footy Classifieds starts?

The good news is Richmond are currently being thrashed by the pies. I reckon if we can win then suddenly all the focus will turn to Hardwick.

I rekcon Frawley can hold Riewoldt. Maybe Royal could prove he is a good midfield coach by working out how to shut down Martin, Cotchin and Deldio and there other runners.

I think we need to bring Tapscott back because he and Magner in there will at least provide some toughness. Tapscott doesnt back down at all and he was at least 1 positive last year.

Hopefully Clark can stand up again and it would be nice to see Jamar smash Maric. I reckon we can win but the players confidence is so low.

we will not beat richmond, we will struggle to beat anyone, including GWS and Suns

Play one on one, man to man, kick long, have forwards who are willing to put their bodies on the line, take a strong mark, kick a long goal, it was called football. Remember when sides would do that? All this c--p about zones, presses, forget it

It's all about the midfield. Richmond has class but some of it is inexperienced. Jamar is going up against a plodder, not his master, this is the situation Moloney often thrives in. We're not without a chance if we can really get on top in the midfield. I hope we stick rigidly to the game plan for 120 minutes whatever happens.

Yep, just got to love our supporters.

Are they really "our supporters"? I think they have lost the ability to "support" - just a thought.

Flying down for this game, booked a ticket just before round 1 when optimism was at its peak,

Don't think Frawley could play any worse than last week, but then again neither will Dustin Martin.

Prediction: A DRAW

See you there - I will be the odd one out - I will be wearing Red & Blue and be screaming for our team.

Not booing them like many other Melbourne "supporters" seem to do. or

I told you, you where a Dud ( "insert melbourne players name") you cant kick, you cant chase, you show no leadership blah blah blah - Look how clever I am - I'm a Melbourne "supporter"

Please feel free to join me.

Well the worst thing that could happen is if Miller bags 10

The Media would really love that

IMO so long as we stick to Neelds instructions and game plan every week things will turn around eventually

Neeld will weed out those who don't and cut those who can't

To continue in the job depends on it

...Brad Miller?

Ten goals?

Hope you're talking about a season tally there

Richmond are last in the competition for clearances and second last for contested possessions. Granted, they have played two v good sides but it is an area there to be exploited. If we can then back it up with a strong work ethic and attitude on the outside of the packs we can win.

Richmond are a team that will drop their heads if they don't get a game like this on a platter (who does that sound like?). Let's do to them what Brisbane did to us - go Dees!

We're not out of it. This is Richmond we're talking about.

That said our midfield must show up and get a fair share of the ball and not put too much pressure on our backline.

Full 4 quarter effort will be required. If they can do this and be efficient, with a couple of our forwards contributing, we are in the game.

Our midfield would look better with Sylvia present, but now it's up to the likes of Moloney, Trengove, Jones, Magner, McKenzie to play well. And Jamar to have a good game.

Still need quality in the middle.

Cotchin, Martin the big dangers.

I totally agree H-T

If some of the comments from other threads are noted

Eg players do not compete against each other, Howe stops goin the speccy only (or holds ont a few), Davey chases a few down,

players move into space, if the coach moves proactively not reactively, etc etc IF ALL TRY

we should at least be competitive

GO DEES

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6

    SLIP SLIDING AWAY by Meggs

    It was a sweaty, slippery night at Cazalys Stadium, a tough slog with low scoring and missed opportunities.  The Hokball Hawks hung on to win by a goal and sit second on the ladder, relegating the disappointed Demons to, almost certainly, finals spectators.   We had to win this match. When news broke of late withdrawals of talisman Kate Hore and key back Gaby Colvin, expectations plummeted, and Demon fans despaired.  The bad news was the signature song of 2024, a season that’s
