    Having watched all of Richmond's games (watched the West Coast replay), I reckon they are one of the worst 4-0 teams of all time. They make stupid errors and lack the midfield depth. They haven't played a decent team yet. Collingwood, Carlton, West Coast (at the 'G, who should have put them away) and now Brisbane - they haven't beaten anyone of note. And those first two wins were really scratchy. 

    If we bring forward half pressure and minimise our turnovers as we did in the first two weeks, we should murder them.

    Doesn't that mean we haven't beaten anyone of note too?

    Yeah, bugger. It'd be nice to even up the injuries a bit. :P

    The tigers have had a very good draw so far. I think we will beat them pretty comfortably

    tigers are 4-0 cos they're playing good footy, not because of who they've beaten.

    their mosquito fleet will trouble us, and prestia / caddy has been a massive improvement over deledio. they're going okay.

    Yeah, that's fair. Although, St Kilda at Etihad are a tougher proposition than West Coast at the G. West Coast also did a Melbourne v Geelong and wasted so many opportunities.

    They've both butchered this year, particularly Prestia, who is a lot better than he's shown at Richmond.

    We get our forward pressure right against them and we'll beat them. They've got some worse users than us at the back there.

    Agreed. Shades of Norf last year going 9-0.

    Very North, but even North weren't making the same mistakes off half back and entering forward 50 that the Tigers have. Next Monday night will be very interesting.

    Don't kid yourself about Richmond beating nobody they are playing a different brand of free flowing footy to 2016. Martin has been freed up with Prestia and Caddy coming in. Cotchin is an A grader and playing a great leadership roll. If we are not on next week they will hurt us big time on the fast break from turnovers. 

    The boys face a very big acid test next week. The kids and older players all need to lift their efforts for 4 quarters and not switch off at any stage

    Yep Richmond at the MCG will be a tough night. 

    Forget past games. We will need to play our best football next week

    We should have the advantage in the ruck vs Tigers.

  • Quote

    Drop a quarter to the Tiges like we did to Freo and they'll tear us a new one. 

    Richmond have added experience and quality to their midfield this year. 

    We need to be manic at the ball and shut down Dusty and Cotch.

    I don't share the love for Richmond, they are one loss away from the sideways, backwards football they are known for. They are very beatable.

    Geelongs Brian Cook on SEN match preview today and said theres 10 things Geelong do that keep them winning. They apparently hold the highest AFL/VFL winning the most games in 300 matches or something. I wonder what those 10 things are? He wouldnt elaborate.

    I'd say the number 1 thing is pray the most dynamic midfielder in the country is born 15 minutes from your home ground and wants to go home in a deal that costs you nothing.

    Without him their last 30 games would have had 15 more losses in it - and they'd not be talking up their 300 game record.

    Geelong have done well, but they have also been very lucky

    Since when does a club list the cause of an injury rather than the injury itself?  Hawks are in damage control over their pitiful O Meara trade

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
