Richmond are getting slaughtered and Freo not much better this week. If  only we beat sides like Freo and Richmond like we should have. Two huge FU's. Could cost us bad come finals time.  Concede 16 goals to a side that averages less than 10 a game since begining of last season and conceding a 4 goal final quarter lead in a wet night game. How often does that happen? 

Put a fit Smith and Spencer back on the ground after half time and we would have won by 5 goals against Richmond.

How good are the Crows?  They are a seriously formidable football side.

Richmond are who we thought they were.  Pretenders.  Top of the table clash and they are totally blown off the park.  Give it a few weeks and they'll be ninth again.

Well they were not on the ground and we lost. That's football. Just ridiculous. Could have, should have. Sounds like those in life trying to justify their past disappointments and failures. It's life.

I haven't been watching this game.

Adelaide taking serious advantage of a tired Richmond?

Or just Adelaide that much better then everyone else right now bar maybe GWS?

Let's keep our powder dry until we play the Crows in 2 weeks.  Most sides are being slaughtered by the Crows.

I won't be going in with many expectations against the Crows over there. 

But you would think a side that is 5-0 and being talked up by all and sundry would put in a better performance than this.

Yes, agree Wise. Definitely overrated.

Adelaide are amazing.  They show no mercy.  They play like a team possessed and never give the ops a look in.

So Rich % has taken a huge beating and they have slipped to 4th. 

They have no 'gimme' games coming up in the next month.   Who knows how far (down) the slippery slope they go...to 9th perhaps...

Teams that jump out of the blocks with a such a free wheeling high scoring attacking game usually run out of steam at some stage of the season. If we can apply our best pressure like we can and have demonstrated in many quarters we have some chance.

Then they all become homeless and start offering themselves up to strangers in the streets for a bowl of soup.It's an inevitable decline and a poignant reminder of Newtonian physics.

Tiges are PUTRID overated, hacks!! Cotchin SOFT, Riewoldt selfish bigheaded sook, Rance overated and Prestia dreadfully inept. Loved watching this  mob get thrashed and should have gone down by more!!  Crows had 20 ore scoring shots on goal 20!!!

Would normally watch the game live. Instead, followed on a website that had twitter feed. It may well be me (accustomed to a diet of very funny Demonlanders, BBO, Biffen, ET et al)  but when did Titus O'Reilly's shtick become so shite? Yes, I'm sure many love him, he's a Dee etc.

Hogan should model his game on Taylor Walker - not just the way he plays but the way he became an incredible leader.

I reckon Jesse will follow a similar path.

If only he kicked like Taylor Walker.

Richmond forum is hilarious.  They all want Prestia dropped and are crying about his contract.

We have so much to learn from those cultured gentlemen in the Middle East. 

Are Australian born whites are so cringe worthy ?

Stop hating your own fellow citizens .

The Western masochistic tendency really annoys me.

We are a magnificent and advanced civilisation .

Knock those cultures who have contributed zero to the globe .

They are plentiful and they want to move here.

White guys are cool.

You went to so much trouble with your response, yet I was merely pointing out that the real western suburbs in Sydney are mostly populated by what you term "white guys" (the wildest being your bogan)... the most multi cultural areas are closer to the city in what is termed the inner west.

Probably more often than not when you're down to 2 on the bench with a further 2-3 injured on the ground.

It's the Fremantle and, to a slightly lesser extent, the Geelong games we should be most disappointed with.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
