    lol @ Richmond players prancing around like they are any good

    Too bad we arent playing them next week to put them back in their place again

    They are absolute hacks playing against a team that is literally not even trying

    You know you are a bad team when you make Vickey and Hampson look good.

    At least from Scully's perspective he'll have enough cash to cover that pathetic "wrestle." (Are players still fined for wrestling?)

    Tiges go from 6.18 to 14.2 in consecutive weeks.

    I'm really enjoying watching Scully play in this game. I reckon he couldn't care less because it's not about winning it's all about the $$$$.

    I have never seen a back six give their opponents so much rope and such little body contact. As funny as it sounds, GWS were all over them in te first quarter, but couldn't convert and Richmond just took the chances the lacklustre GWS defence was giving them. From then on, GWS have given up and Richmond are full of beans.

    They never had a chance. If there's one certainty in football, it is that Jack Riewoltd will kick goals just as soon as it doesn't matter anymore. That said... oh Giants... that's just getting embarrassing.

    Maybe they will have to bring in Andrew Demetriou to run the place, since so far he's the only person who has 'won' them anything.

    Sigh, I spent a couple of months up in Sydney recently and I have to say the atmosphere at Giants games was cheerful enough. Small but happy crowds who were quite cheerfully aware that any win was an upset and that for now it was just about enjoying the potential and individual performances. And of course, the win over Sydney had them well excited.

    But this... as we all know, massive losses when you're expecting to see improvement and competitiveness really suck the fun out. And the Giants will only have crowds at all for as long as it is seen as fun.

    Jack Riewoldt. 5 marks, of which all five are inside forward 50m. None of them contested. Debacle.

    What the? He has a running bounce to his name?

    7.19 one week

    18.3 the next

    That's the importance of pressure.

    Clearly match fixing

    Who has turned their kicking around this week?

    Dwayne informs us that the crowd is silent. No crowd=No noise.

    You'd be [censored] if you were one of his teammates who was on far less money, despite being a far superior player which most of them are.

  • Quote

    You'd have to laugh at Leon Cameron wouldn't you?

    Jeremy Cameron starts off in the backline and Heath Shaw on Jack Riewoldt? Absolute [censored] imo.

    Gws would have been so much better off if they just did the right thing by choco Williams and he was in charge

  • Quote

    Shame about the draw , i wouldve rather have played Hawthorn, Geelon, Freo and Port in those early rounds.

    We play saints and GWS now and we win.

    Hope they implode. Was destined to fail. It was all about Vlads ego. Wouldn't listen to advice including from Roos that it would be a hard sell. Also Sheeds has a lot to answer for. Can't say I'm sorry. The Scully decision must be biting them in the bum. What a joke he's a million dollar player. Doubt he's one of their top 5 midfielders - run with player at best with no penetration with his disposals.

    Gees schadenfreude I feels good.

    Expansion sides are always going to have alot of young talent but the suns recruited players to set standards and examples for them the giants have failed because sheedys ego meant he had to do it his way and it hadn't worked.

    I found it funny too, trying to stick it up us when we actually won the Scully situation, they got a million dollar [censored] and we got Chris Dawes among others.

    jazza I think there is a big difference

    Ablett had won premierships and B and F's etc he had done it all, to him GWS was the big pay day.

    Frawley gives every indication that he wants to play in an winning team including finals, now a salary increase would not hurt but if he goes to GWS I will be amazed.

    Besides a bigger wallet the only thing he has to look forward to at GWS would be more of what he had at the MFC in 2012 -13

    This is the main reason i consider Vlad's tenure of the AFL to be very poor.

    It is such a waste of both huge amounts of resources and cash.

    Kelly hasn't touched the ball after coming on in the 3rd. Haha

    • PREVIEW: West Coast Eagles

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
