I watched us play Port, then I watched a little bit of Bris/Carlton and switched it off.

Melb Vs Port was a far better game to watch than Bris Vs Carlton.

Not sure about this Essendon Vs Tigers game.

I don't know if it is the level of footy that has lost my interest - or the amount of cans I've had, could go either way there.

The level of stupidity by Richmond players in this game is absolutely... Stupifying. Under 15s could play a more competitive game.

Richmond are a rabble, we've passed the torch by the looks of it.

We helped by giving them Miller, A.Maric and Petterd to go with their spud farm of recruits; Hampson, Chaplain, A.Edwards, Grigg and softy Houli.

Meanwhile Schulz, White and Derickx are killing it at their new clubs, even Nahas has had a small impact at north.

Most of my family and a lot of mates are Tigers supporters so I take a lot of interest, and an immense amount of joy watching the [censored] hit the fan and the microwaves melt the cards.

Cotch can't kick over a jam tin, Riewoldt is a downhill skiing sook.

Imagine how bad they'd be had Martin left.

Richmond and Reiwoldt are a joke

Hope they enjoyed beating up on GWS

This loss will fuel speculation that Worsfold is waiting in the wings. Dim a is gone I would suggest.

Interesting thought about Wosha, Chook. At this rate, I'd be surprised ih Hardwick sees out the season.

I was staggered at the talk of top four for Richmond this year. Never rated them at any stage. They peaked last year and got found out at the first hurdle in the finals, but convinced themselves their list just needed a top up. Their delusion was rampant and widespread and it has cost them. Time to start over.

I'm looking forward to when we play the bombers in two weeks.

Judging from what I've seen tonight we'll smash them.

Weren't they supposed to be served their notices by the end of May - only about 100 minutes to go.

The Tigers will be really struggling to get anywhere near ninth place. Top 4 - pftt.

I think it was the show cause letters that were due to be distributed by the end of the month. Besides, the way this thing has draged on..and on...and on, you didn't really expect them to stick to a timeline, did you?

Wouldn't matter who coached Richmond, they are rabble.

It has been for years. The supporters run the club and the board and surrounding staff are too [censored] scared to offend them. And when you add to this that the supporters are either drinking champagne because their team is better than anyone or drinking cyanide because they are the worst team in the league, then you have mob rule, and that never works. It especially won't work down Tigger Alley because their supporters are so freakin' unbalanced and unrealistic.

Normally when you point at cultural problems in a club you target players, or coaches or admin. Down that way it's the supporters that harm the club in ways that no other club has managed, and probably won't.

Until that changes they will either be suffocated by unrealistic expectations when they win, or drowned by the vitriol and anger that accompanies losses.

But enough about putting the boot into the RFC in its moment of pain (as fun as that is). I want to talk to that fella that defected from us to go join them when we had our teatime of the soul. What was his name again?

    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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded.

    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
