    It shouldn't even be close. Umps have kept Richmond in this.

    Hopefully GWS don't drop their heads because of it and fight out these last 5 mins.

    that's the best compilation by far i've ever seen

    we should sticky it as "Robbie Flower Tribute" (mods?)

    as any one can see a totally different (and better) player than pendles

    Maggots have gifted the game to Toiges in Q4

    Frees for nothing, nothing for GWS

    Richmond getting an armchair ride from the umpires like every week

    Why is there a set of rules for some clubs and another set for the rest? Its so corrupt

    if we had the umpiring help that Richmond get every game we would be in the 8 too.

    If Liam Cameron doesn't raise this issue after the game, then he is a puppet.

    Adam Treloar only just touched the ball 5 mins ago, he called holding the ball - it resulted in a goal.

    Anthony Miles gets tackled, does a 540, is given leeway. This has happened all day.

    Coaches have to step up like they do in the NRL, they have to voice they opinion, this is disgraceful.

    In this day and age, we have absolutely deplorable bias. It's not acceptable, and coaches have to be vocal.

    Ripping game, and again beautiful gesture afterwards. Expecting it to happen tonight as well (particularly due to Walsh's connection to West Coast).

    Went to the game, decided staying home in this weather was too depressing. Giants got a lot of easy frees, most were there but calls didn't go both ways. [censored] thing about that sort of umpiring is that it usually evens up at the end of the game at a crucial time. Yeah, the frees were there. The problem was that it didn't go both ways on critical, obvious free kicks. Umps were too involved all day. Richmond fans boo more than anyone but a lot of it was warranted today. In those conditions you're going to get a lot of high tackles and in the backs but you let them go and call them loosely. Which they did, but Giants got calls at times when Tigers wouldn't in identical (sometimes worse) situations. A lot of the boos were warranted.

    It was inevitable that Tigers would get gifted free kicks in the last.

    That last goal to Edwards came as a result of Miles being given far too long in the tackle to get rid of the ball - should have been holding the ball on the GWS half-forward line.

    The rain should have suited Richmond, not GWS, and GWS has some really key players out injured (is Richmond missing anyone?). I should be surprised that Richmond didn't blow them apart, but then again it is Richmond.

    Agreed on all points, DC. No comparison.

    Apparently the AFL has asked the clubs to do the huddle after every game this weekend.

    Another very fortunate Richmond win that will add fuel to this ludcurous talk of fhem being a flag contender. They will get absolutely smacked in the finals again.

    It's time to move ahead of Richmond and North next season. Bog ordinary the pair of them.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
