FMD, the umpires really favour the WA teams over there, particularly crucial decisions. Two of Freo's goals resulted from poor umpiring.

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.

Why are Melbourne wearing Freo jumpers tonight??

Apparently we really caught Richmond at the right time.

Maybe Richmond caught Freo at the right time.

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.

We beat Richmond didn't we?

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.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
