and there's the soft free to keep the hawks in it.

Just so we can see a 'good finish'. There is no way that was a free kick.

    Shocking holding the ball against the Tiges for a gimme goal to Gunston! Prior opportunity really and it could have been deemed high for that matter.

  • Quote

    That free goal to Hawthorn Gunston epitomises my rapidly declining interest in the game of AFL - the Tiger (can't remember who) went in, got the ball, NO prior opportunity, tackled INCLUDING ONE OVER THE SHOULDER / NECK, and freed for HTB !!!!

    Not even effecting MFC in any way but this pi55es me off completely. Turns me off AFL - Gill, take note if you bloody well care.

    NOT a correct tackle, and NO prior opportunity. Free to the guy with the ball, (or at least ball up) every day of the week.

    Gibson tried to beat five tackles earlier and got a ball up.

    Have the rules changed again?

    And again - Puopolo pushed some ball getter in the back, ridden into the ground, again with NO prior opportunity - HTB.

    Get stuffed, AFL - reward the bloody ball getter.

    That was paid as a push in the back mate.

    Pathetically inconsistent.

    And the AFL are (supposedly) considering adding even on more umpire per game which would be 9 more per week.

    How deep a cesspit do they have from which they can trawl 9 more maggots from?

    They have already dipped far too deep.

    Will just compound the mistakes.

    How the hell did we beat Richmond (and Geelong and Fottascray for that matter) yet succumbed to the Druggies and Saints x2???

    Well done Tigers tonight. They applied pressure and rattled the arrogant Hawks

    We must be talking about a different incident I believe.

    gotta thank Richmond for suddenly make a very boring season a bit more interesing

    Great win

    Hope they finish 4th and Sydney or Hawthorn drop out

  • Quote

    I really don't want to think about the Richmond supporters talking themselves up, but how good is it to see the smugness wiped off the faces of Hodge, Mitchell, Burgoyne, Lewis and co.?

    Proof that sustained pressure for the whole game can keep you in any game against anyone.

    I hope some of our players learn from this.

    Edit: also relevant to note Richmond didn't really have anyone stand out too much, but had a really even contribution from all 22. No real passengers.

    The one where he tackled Taylor Hunt? That one was paid as a push in the back. The Miles one was given as a free to Gunston. If there was another one I must have missed it while eating my toast...

    Its amazing how he did manage to beat Richmond. Must have got them at a good time.

    But the pressure they did bring to the hawks was great. Something we need to do.

  • Quote

    Credit to the Tigers, didn't allow Hawthorn to play their game and applied pressure for 120 minutes.

    Didn't walk out expecting to lose, that's for sure.

    Also helped having 3 extra players on the ground, which is par the course for Richmond. Clear of the next team for total free kicks in their favour this season by over 70 (North Melbourne, land of the divers, in 2nd).

    Richmond beat Sydney.

    Richmond beat Fremantle.

    Richmond beat Hawthorn.

    Melbourne beat Richmond.

    That means Melbourne is the best.

    /Half-life 3 confirmed.

    Interestingly we played all of them in 4 consecutive weeks

    Richmond work so hard to support each other at the contest and they always have numbers at the drop of the bal

    We do neither and thats why we still suck

    I don't think we can narrow it down to just the two things HH. Handballing to a player under the pump and failing to spot up a player metres in the clear would probably make the top ten reasons we suck list. But we'll roll the Pies.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
