    richmond v carlton in the 'yuk' factor?

    Jeez they all look stuffed in the last quarter. Cap on interchanges having a clear effect.

    Jeez Richmond looked very average up until the last 15 minutes. If Carlton could kick straight the game could have been all over for the tigs. 

    You'd think we'd put both of these teams away comfortably. Can't see the tiges finishing top this season if that's anything to go by. Skills were atrocious.

    Tonights game showed us one thing

    Bolton can coach and he has the players already playing his style. 

    It seems only MFC take years to sort a game plan...

    Carlton's list right now is better than what Roos inherited 2.5 years ago.

    Would you have said that this afternoon?

    Ricmond reacting like they've downed Hawks in a final.

    Agree with the Carlton comparisons on here - our kids were completely spent and gone towards end of 2nd quarters let alone 3rd quarters. Good coaching, good drafting, new club.

    As opposed to Gibbs, Murphy and Kreuzer?

    Carlton lost, can't ask for more than that.

    Richmond looked underdone, long road ahead I guess. Maybe some wise old head in tiger rooms told them to hasten carefully....Hannibal....

    I reckon they're comparable list wise, but the mental scars our players had aren't.

    Just saw the presser, Hardwick said they, Richmond, were a year younger on average so the more in-experienced team. [censored] me if that's the best you've got for that performance, I don't expect to see you around too much longer.

    Tiges

    Gone

    Insipid group of hacks.
    The fact that they have managed the last 2 years in the finals is fraudulent.

    Not only will we towel them up this year for the third year running, I have them tipped to finish in the bottom 6.
    Yes they won, but not in any way to be proud of and if they can only muster a 9 point win against Carlton then they are in for a long year.

    I cannot believe that at 3.30am I was awakened by an Airbnb request from California from somebody who wanted to fly in next Friday night to watch the Pies play the Tigers. (I live next door to the "G") I replied that l have an ABC policy here and, unless they wished to watch the mighty Demons demolish the Bombers on the Saturday, l am full up (no vacancy). I hate to see some Yank waste his airfare to watch rabble.

    Exactly and isn't it bloody frustrating. Port under Hinkley and the Dogs under Beverage are other great examples.

    Richmond are a mess and as Clint alluded to they won't play finals.

    Pies MCG - loss

    Adelaide MCG - 50/50

    Eagles WA - loss

    Dees MCG - loss

    Port MCG - loss

    Hawks MCG - loss

    Sydney MCG - loss

    Freo WA - loss

    Bombers MCG - win

    North BA - loss 

    Suns MCG - win

    Lion MCG - 50/50 with Beams and Rocky 

    Port AO - loss 

    Bulldogs E - loss 

    Bombers MCG - win

    Hawks MCG - loss

    Giants SPOTLESS - loss

    Pies MCG - loss 

    Cats MCG - loss

    Saints E - 50/50 they are now mentally shot

    Swans SCG - loss

     

    They are in massive trouble, and they just extended Hardwick's contract to stop this kind of speculation. I am aware they beat Hawks/Freo/Port/Sydney last year but I don't think this will be the case this time around.

    Agreed. I just did the Ladder Predictor on the AFL site and had them finishing 11th.

    Some will laugh at my prediction and that's fair enough. I don't see them doing what they did last year and that was rolling the Hawks and Freo etc again. North have owned them for years and we also seem to be their bogey side. Port/Pies/Geelong will overtake them this year for mine. If we can get another win over them they could potentially be 1 & 7 or 2 & 6 (or yes they could be 8 & 0), they are their own worst enemy.

    They're more like Melbourne of 2007 at this stage, though. And Melbourne "topped up" in 2002 and in 2003, which was a "mini" rebuild after the disaster that was the 2002 finals. Finals in 2004, 2005, 2006. We had zero depth though and fell away every year after looking the goods around half-way through. 

    Richmond will either fire and make the top 4, or crash and burn...hard.

    Last night's match reminded me of Melbourne v St Kilda in Round 1, 2007. Melbourne expected to win comfortably but it was the beginning of the end. Start of the rise for the 'Aints. Only difference between that Richmond was playing a pretty inexperienced and dysfunctional (at times) squad that doesn't run two ways hard enough for long enough. Toiges very lucky to get away with that last night. Blues were a 4-5 goal better team for 70% of the match.

    Carlton have been tanking for a couple of past years,  so weren't as bad as they appeared.  Malthouse was used to spite the pies,  & to be a scapegoat once the blues had realised there was to be no fairy-tale early in MnM's coaching stint.

    Since that point they had inner disagreements between rebuild ideas, & they also layed down for the list..

    so the list wasn't as bad as they looked in games last year.

     

    Richmond they found a way to win.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
