This needed a new thread.

And someone started another Richmond thread today....because we need more than one.

    But can you share some of the 'good stuff' you are on with us?

    Well hot on the heels of the great victory against the filth is the sobering realisation that, unless we double up and win against Ninethmond have we really improved that much at all?

    Conversely as the warning title suggests, I think this game is even more season defining as any!

    For eons we have been unable to produce multiple wins together, much less a string of wins to gain momentum. I would like to think we can but until we do I remain skeptical and after following this club for nearly 50 years I feel justified in presenting the  Caveat Emptor!

    A win against Richmond tells us nothing because they are in crisis. Sure it will give us two wins in a row but both against rabble. The defining game will be the following week against an in-form St Kilda who need to be taken seriously. Once we have beaten the Saints and won three on the trot in the process then and only then will we break into the Eight (and stay there)!

    Ok IMV if IF we win against "Ninethmond", then the follwing week against "The aints" Then the Caveat will well and truly be removed! If not!??

    Can someone tell me when is the last time we won Three in a row?

    I though against the Pies it was a real sign of our maturity that we could jump them in the first and then hold our foot on their throats for the next three, ensuring a comfortable win. Thats how good teams beat teams worse than them. If the Tigers are indeed in trouble, and I'm not convinced they are, then I'd expect us to dispatch them with the same ruthless efficiency, or turn it up for longer and give them a real baking.

    Games like the one against North build confidence as they extract four quarter performances, digging deep and overcoming the challenges of the opposition. The Pies didn't offer much that we couldn't easily handle on Sunday.

    If we can win through to the Saints it should be a cracker.

    Dermie was talking on SEN about how even the comp is and the idea of winning 3 in a row will be fairly rare into the future.  Interesting point to consider and all the more reason to focus on the next game, not the one after.

    Disagree - A team in crisis is dangerous - I expect Richmond to come out fighting.

    Basically, Richmond who have finals aspirations, have to respond this week.

    Agree Picket, hopefully once again the players are able to manage the expectations well and get ready between the ears for a game against another under siege club.

    Maintain the hunger and desire at all times.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
