The funniest thing is that these references to how many 50 game players you have and their impact on the win ratio seem remarkably similar to the comments by Neeld a few years back. Good to see Neeld

I'd guess it's because it's a man wearing it. Just a wild guess though.

The media should probably apologise to Hardwick after he was widely ridiculed for his "Our best can beat anyone" comment. He has been proven right!

They haven't beaten anyone yet...

...but Freo look rattled.

Apparently we really caught Richmond at the right time.

Maybe Richmond caught Freo at the right time.

Why are Melbourne wearing Freo jumpers tonight??

They are playing a very Melbourne type game, no doubt about that.

Safe to say the Toiges have gone right past us since we last met.

Combination of the two it would seem. Richmond have been slick with their ball use, and Deledio isn't the standout for once. They can't put a foot wrong. Even Morris looks like a footballer.

Richmond missed so many gettable goals against us and kicked 5.16. They are on 13.3 tonight. Sometimes footy is a simple game, just kick it through the big sticks!

I agree. But i hope your not implying that they played better than us on the night...

I just don't know what to make of Richmond. At least we get thrashed by the top sides and do ok against the average ones. They have it backwards somehow.

they always have, they are the giant killers. but fail to wake for games more often than not.

Would comfortably be the most entertaining meltdown of the year if Richmond managed to lose this. Absolute gold.

Shades of the Port/Hawks match earlier in the year, except Port had the fortitude to hold on with seconds to spare. Do I think Richmond have the same mental fortitude as Port?

Well...

The way Richmond are being talked up by the commentators is laughable. Let me remind you that St Kilda beat Fremantle last year and ended up wooden spooners. Richmond have beaten who, exactly? Essendon? Carlton? Brisbane? Collingwood*?

They lost to us (and we seemingly only show up to games once a month) and Geelong (who are on the slide).

*I don't rate wins against Collingwood. Their win against North was special, but they haven't pinched any wins off a genuine contender. In fact, their draw has been enviable, with wins against Brisbane, Saints, Essendon, Carlton, Gold Coast. Let's see how they're travelling after they play Hawks, Sydney and Freo.

They just made a fool out of you and beat a side thats won 9 in a row and right on their home turf.

Who cares if they are beating those sides. Atleast they are winning. Taking the game on with quick ball movement. None of this kick backwards or sideways to slow the play down.. they were daring tonight and i enjoyed watching them.

I would still take their performance over ours this year.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
