    Nice

    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.

    We are a four goal better side on the MCG IMO

    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.

    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.

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

    Please change the name of the thread at the least so you don't jinx us.

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
