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.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
