Cotchin reported for what looked like a stomach punch. He is a protected species so a fine seems appropriate.

I also believe we dodged a bullet with Prestia. He's horrible.

I don't think Prestia's that exceptional or intelligent a bloke from hearing his interviews, just sounded like an ordinary kid. Most up and coming stars are well spoken and sound like they're smart enough to know what is required to set themselves apart from the pack. Prestia is happy he's overrated as he probably deep down is only happy to be on an afl list and has the potential to make a career of it.

Also has anyone noticed that Richmond fans haven't acknowledged that we would've beaten them earlier in the year if not for injuries and that they think they're a premiership hope and not still around that 5-10 mark that will never go further this year?  They've been the same team for 4 years.

Yep, noticed!

We all know the reason they won that night.

To those that follow the NHL, the last quarter in that match was like a 30 minute power play for them.

I thought his head snapped back after an elbow to the jaw. Different angle showed it better and less likely to be a dive. greenwood will be having a holiday.

 

The main acting today was by Maynard of Collingwood. Should get a warning for staging. Pretty ordinary effort by  bloke I don't know much about, but first impressions are average.

Well I Said 'most' - I just got the impression that Prestia sounded chuffed to just be an AFL List earlier in the year in his first Richmond interview. And did not sound like he was determined to become a superstar. He'd probably have been out drinking with Kent, Kennedy, JKH & Spencer last week if we'd recruited him (And our mids were not injured)

Geez the pressure is on if saints and eagles both win, we need to win if we don't the pressure is well and truly on and it will be tough to make finals with our injury list 

I'd rather the pressure on us to prove we're not run-of-the-mill with the reward of succeeding a spot in the top 4. Than hoping Richmond and Port win games against StK/WCE and we safely land in 7th or 8th.

Agree we need to do it eventually if we want to be taken seriously, I would feel a lot better if we had a full list though

That's the unfortunate caveat to this dilemma, i might be in denial about just how much we can cover our injuries over the next two weeks. Our win against WCE had me sure then we'd make the top 4 quite easily and it's a tough thing to let go of now that injuries might be pulling us back to the pack.

We all would, but it is what it is and I'm a lot more confident now than I was Thursday morning.

This game doing nothing to disprove my theory that Etihad (particularly with a closed roof) is essentially a different game than a standard AFL game.

Remember when St Kilda killed GWS under the dome and everyone raved about how they'd arrived?

Its the closest thing to Basketball that AFL will ever be.

This is where it's at, if St Kilda win:

We win tomorrow, we're top 4.

We lose tomorrow, we're out of the 8.

Pressure is well and truly on. I'm so conflicted because Richmond are the biggest pretenders ever and I would love to play against them in finals (or see them drop out of the 8) but having the Saints/Sydney/Essendon surging is a disaster if our injury list starts costing us games. We MUST win tomorrow, or we're in serious trouble.

Agree (it was attempted humour)

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
