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.

    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

  • Quote

    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: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
