POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 5

[jane02 3,748]

I went to game last night and loved every minute of it. The pre game ceremony was very moving and the game itself was sensational. Even my husband (decked out in his Melbourne gear) was cheering loudly and on the edge of his seat. I had the misfortune to have a ferral Richmond supported sitting on my other side. Talk about a misfit and totally delusional. He thought we got a good run with the umpiring - what a joke. He slunk away at 3/4 time thank God.

The atmosphere was amazing and I felt so proud to be a member of the MFC.

Jack Viney - I used to refer to you as Baby Jesus but you are now God in my eyes.

Suprised noone has mentioned Morris throwing his head backwards when he got tackled around the waist in Richmond's forward fifty.

I absolutely hate seeing this and I went mental at the ground when I saw it happen. Players should get a warning and if it happens again suspended for a week. 

Channel 7 didn't even mention it and didn't show a replay so as far as the afl is concerned it didn't happen. The replay at the ground from the reverse angle was damning though. Richmond are becoming as bad as west coast and geelong with the ducking

Well done mate, hilarious contribution that really adds to the discussion.

A little bit sensitive Fuzzy.

maybe, maybe not, Im not an expert.  I was just stating that 'way off the pace' was ridiculous.  His possessions were important, often composed.  He is a classy player who will never be 'way off the pace'

He only had 3 kicks and 9 touches. Not enough. He'll get it back but he's had a poor start to the year.

Thought some might like this classic from the Tiges Big Footy forum.

Keep your head up Tigers fans, as a Dees supporter I know what it feels like. There is always light at the end of the tunnel.

Wins always sweeter after the tough times.

Tyson was immense last night. Played well last week and possibly his best career game last night. If he can keep that up he'll push Viney and Gawn for the Bluey.

Anyone else notice early in the 1st quarter , about 17.30mins to go. Bugg at the bottom of the pack and a Richmond player pressure pointing him in the neck collarbone area

Lumumba did NOT run too far in that great run around Reiwoldt early in the first. Ump stuffed that badly (would never be called against any other power club!!). Great Job H

It was a great run wasn't it. Love what H is bringing this year...he seems to have a "stop" as well as a "go" button finally.. breaks lines and sets up scoring opps.   I haven't watched the replay yet but watching at the ground he seemed stiff to get done for that. His pass hit a Melbourne player at the goal line as well.

Did anyone see Jones and Riewoldt have a few interesting words at the end when the siren sounded? Jones was pointing somewhere to the ground and was pretty vocal.

Might just have just been pointing at the scoreboard and suggesting Jack eat shlt !!

Well here's an opinion then: Just because other indigenous players haven't been booed does not mean that the booing of Goodes wasn't partially motivated by racism.  It took a combination of how Goodes was viewed as a player by some, his race and his involvement in indigenous issues that led to the booing.  If it was not for the latter he would not have been consistently booed.  

Show me another player who is disliked for his footy style who has been so consistently booed by so many for his playing 'sins' - and don't include a player who has changed teams (is just booed by his original team's supporters only) or has just thumped an oppo player (ditto).  No other player gets booed because he has a different view of some social issue than me or you.   Sure some of the people booing were innocent of racism but a lot were not.  Some Australians just wish the indigenous issue would just go away, just as many of our ancestors wished the indigenous people would just go away.  And they react

Too right sue. The only other one I can think of is....Lumumba

Haha stupid phone - I've edited now, meant to say "immense last night"

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

Razor Ray again!  Play on call on Lumumba after a short outlet pass receive from Salem kicking in (6:25 to go in the 2nd). Went straight back over the mark. Anything to put pressure on us. He must be a Demon hater this bloke.

Get him out AFL he is a disgrace to the game.
