Why I won't be heart broken if Richmond bomb out in the finals

It would be hilarious if the Tiges went out in straight sets and lose tonight and it's likely, with the Swans waiting after their friendly warm up this weekend.

If they went on and on, however, I'd cope. At least it wouldn't be one of the usual suspects...and it would prove that a team could win with four good players and a bunch of also rans.

    They're not really wrong. As fate has it the whole scenario landed us Hogan in the end but Damian Barrett has proven right in that Tyson and Salem for Kelly didn't  (or hasn't yet) worked out well. Sure, Salem and Tyson filled needs we desperately had to fill at the time, but I'd trade both in a heartbeat if it landed us Kelly. That Richmond game is part and parcel of the horrors that were the 2011-2014 years.

    Come on guys.

    Nothing personal.  We are just different to TiGeR supporters.  Oil and Water.

     

    We are rich white private school loving folk, who have a penchant for the status quo.  We get whipped up about Scotch playing Xavs on a Saturday morning FCS.  We let our wives spend 1000's to get fake tans, Botox, hair straightening, 2xU tight lycra after liposuction and anything else to make them look different to what we see on a Sunday morning.  We ain't racist but we want boat people staying away, even if that means looking down the barrel of a gun.  If we ever get invaded, we can get on a Hains Hunter and plea for South Africa or New Zealand to accept us.  Yes, we jumped the queue, but this would be different.  

    Same with the aborigines, and so what if they got here first.  And we won't apologise for past crimes, but expect the Japanese to mea cuppa for their atrocities in WW2.  We probably think climate change is real, but who gives a stuff because when the S hits the fan, we will have resources to buy our own desal plant and cool rooms, while the plebs try to keep their noses above water.

    We want our daughters to marry some boring inward-looking stiff from the young liberals, who regurgitates carp about free speech and safe schools.  But when someone from the ABC has a go at Anzac Day, he yells treason.

     

     

     

    Our team consist of slow one-paced mids; Richmond complimented their bulls.  Who was the 'leader' Richmond needed to make their assault up the ladder?  We needed Jordie apparently.

     

     

    Our hatred red for Richmond is NOT reciprocated:  we gave them Dustin Bull Martin.

    Jeez I wish someone had told me that this is what a Melbourne supporter should do before I got rusted on.  The only one of those even close to accurately describing me is 'white'.

    Check, no raise.

    Just like there is a tigers supporter out there, who drives a Merc, has a full set of teeth, is not a brunette and doesn't wear black.

    I forgot to add 'water-purchasing'.

    Must be something drastically wrong with our tap water in Melbourne, when bottles of Evian and Mount Franklin are being sold by the damn-full.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
