Eggzactly also they should be sent back there.....

A Richmond mate invited me to join him at the "battle of the co-tenants". I pointed out that I would be attending a game on Friday night, but it is between a landlord and a one of their feral tenants.

    Not on here he wasn't Song

    Bulltish, Saty. The thought was if we went tall, it would be Pedo, and if we went for a mid, it'd be Michie.

    9 changes to the side that played Richmond last year.

    Out. Pedersen, Riley, Bail, Terlich, Viney, Toumpas, Gawn, Matt Jones, Grimes

    In. Lumumba, Newton, vandenBerg, Garlett, Kent, Hogan, Jetta, Brayshaw, Michie

    A different side, a stronger side. And we actually beat them last time (despite 28 scoring shots to 21).

    Interesting. I reckon they are all improvements except Viney who we will miss.

    Don't kid yourself though, last time Richmond's kicking was woeful and kept us in the game.It won't happen again and this year the Toiges have kicked some good scores 137 against the Lions and 105 against the Blues. Only 66 against the Dogs though who tackled well and kept the ball inside 50....

    I was being sarcastic Billy, the main gist of the posts on here was the bemoaning of Bail's abilities, in comparison to every other AFL player who had ever played the game

    Great effort from the Kimberley Coast, nor'wester! Hope it turns out to be well worth your while.

    Taking my girlfriend to her first game.

    A filipina with no idea about the game, except it makes her boyfriend shout at the TV a lot.

    Bought her a guernsey and hat so she can look the part, and looking for the membership tent to sign her up also.

    I really hope we dont kok it up, or i have no chance of ever dragging her back to a game.

    Where do the Dees fans congregate in an away game? My first game since we rolled the drug cheating scum in the night game a few years back.

    Catch up for a beer mate...

    That's what we need to do.

    Mostly at Punt Rd and some at Waverly for the most part I believe. An issue to address is to reverse the lop sided win loss differential. 30 more wins to them is nauseating.

    Richmond's defection from Punt Rd in 1965 coincided with our mostly defective performances from this year.

    Really excited for the game tonight. Spending my whole day of uni reading demonland. Already picked out some warm clothes and my best scarf.

    Watching the rain roll over from the East on the bureau. Could be a bit of rain - would make our lack of a second legitimate ruck less of a problem in slippery conditions.

    Hoping JKH is the sub. Brayshaw to be given a full game and to win a rising star nom after his 15 tackles.. Vanders to avoid the vest purely from a supercoach sense.

    While Im confident we can cause an upset, I am worried about being lethargic after last week's long quarters and high stoppage numbers.

    And we wonder why education standards have fallen so far in this country..

    What if the course is Psychology???

    This place would be a great place to read if studying psychology...

    Breggsy being worried is being a melbourne supporter. worry or anxiety never goes away. only a flag will fix that although there will still be many worrying that we will fall back down to the bottom again. As far as education standards, demonland offers far more than any tertiary institution. it offers a full syllabus on human behaviour and life skills generally. on demonland you have the rich tapestry of life with more characters than an Agatha Christie novel. Your time is well spent.

    Hope he does well and has overcome the one way tag.

    Now plays in 4 dimensions.

    No. I can't see the games very well these days and spend most of the time watching the big screens. I buy my membership but usually watch it on TV. I get to the Casey games because the outer is a great spot to watch and I can see better in the open. Plus Casey have Bacon Rolls.

    Just got talked into going. Looking for an epic contest even if I watch the big screens.

    I'm ok with knowing the result now.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
