I think we will win.

Unlike the GWS game where I had a feeling we'd lose long before the match. Richmond just seem ripe to be the "underestimates their opponent" team for this round.

Even if Richmond get over the top of Brisbane tonight we should go in as favourites and we should win.

Yeah, I agree "We Should Smash Richmond!" Annihilate, shellac & embarrass them profusely!

Of course they won 9 in a row late last year & we last won 2 in a row.. err almost 3 years ago was it?

We finally get a game at the MCG after two games interstate (this will make it three away games in a row) and we are playing against the ever-overrated Tigers.

I am actually not overly upset after the loss today becuase unlike last week we had a crack, it was only missed opportunities that cost us.

Even if Richmond get over the top of Brisbane tonight we should go in as favourites and we should win.

When I see statements like the title of this thread, I know the opposite will usually happen.

It astounds me Mr Leg

The tigers have played finals the last two years while we have won 6 games in total.

So far in 2015 they have won twice as many games as us.

Give me a break with the "We should smash Richmond"

If every thing goes our way we have a chance to steel a win by 1 goal max.

We are a four goal better side on the MCG IMO

So that means the Crows would have still beaten us on Saturday if the game was played at the G

Over at PuntRoadEnd some posters are talking about bringing back Vickery to counter Melbourne’s hardness?? There in trouble if that’s the case.

YES! people think we're hard! I've been hearing people calling us that on the radio as well.

Anyways, why are they in trouble if that's the case?

I'd put Vickery hardness up with Watts

They lead the league in marks-inside-50 at 17.3, which is 10 more than we do (7.3). Adelaide averaged 19.5 marks inside 50 in the first two rounds but only had 5 on Saturday. That said the conditions didn't suit the forwards so it definitely made it easier for us.

How can we win? We need to limit their marks inside 50, and translate our 40 rebounds per game (6th in the league) into goals. Richmond averages 5 more goals per game. Because of our inefficiency, if we permit Richmond too many marks inside 50, we'll need to rely on inaccuracy to keep us in the game, because we've really struggled to get the ball forward and score in rounds 2 and 3. Maybe playing on the MCG again will change this.

The weather is going to be dodgy on Friday (potential showers) so they might struggle with marking inside 50 like Adelaide did last week.

Then again we should be defending well against marks inside 50 when we have McDonald, Garland and Howe back there.

Chin up old dee we beat them by 3 goals just last year!

Nah because the Crows are a 2 goal worse side away from Adelaide hence we would've won by 11 ;)

Don't mind if we don't smash the tiges.

Would like a win and if we kick more goals than points, we probably will win.

Will settle for another 4 qtr, fierce, respect gaining performance.

Not Good enough LH

Winning is what gains respect.

The rest are just losses.

Little steps OD, little steps

Its a slow road from 'easy beats' to the winners circle.

Would like every game to be about pride and respect; win, lose or draw.

I won't.

We must quit this 2nd place is good enough attitude.

We go out onto the field to win.

That is the only avenue to respect.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
