    Sonebody take out Patrick Dangerfield. I am so sick of that smug bastard

    Seriously the guy is awesome to watch. Give me him than Rance. Seriously the guy ducked and virtually head butted taylors knee and then goes down like he was shot, then sooks it up to the ump then abuses the trainer who was only trying to help him stem the blood flow. Not the first time he has dropped easily either. 

    and he was made AA captain. My god. 

    Hope the cats smash em.

    I never mentioned Rance

    i want somebody to belt Dangerfield. Jeelong are a one man team, totally over rated for at least the last 5 years

    I think this quarter is evidence that we need another small forward with incredible speed like Garlett, rather than midfielders in the forward line.

    Maybe Martin, who will then be suspended for 3.  Then the bikie wouldn't need to worry about our sovereign borders.

    Cats are really crumbling under pressure. So many dropped sitters.

    The dees would have made 4 by now

    Our lot would be 50 pts down vs Richmond by now with this level of physical pressure...this would be way too hard for us.

    Pretty impressed with Richmond...particularly their ability to improve vs. last year after looking like they were headed the other way...

    Geelong look absolutely [censored] terrible. How did this team finish second on the ladder?

  • Quote

    The Tigers are playing as well as the Crows last night

    It's difficult to judge the Crows performance all the same ... it's not often that a team gets to exercise a training run disguised as a top of the table qualifying final.

    GWS were insipid.

    Richmond are being handed this game on a platter and they are wasting every opportunity.

    Fixturing

    It can't be overstated enough, rubbish teams like Port, West Coast and Geelong get such a free ride from biased fixturing and the ensuing umpiring advantage.

    And wow, that's as typical a Richmond final ten seconds I've ever seen.

    This reality is too fake and scripted! Do middle tier sides ever stop missing chances and leaking junktime goals? :/

    Richmond should easily be 4 or 5 goals up. But only 9 points. It would be typical richmond to drop this game and I would laugh if they did. 

  • Quote

    Geelong will likely win this one. Richmond absolutely dominated that half and yet are only 9 points up. Did not take their opportunities, and Geelong can only get better from here.

    The Martin love makes me sick. Ling on channel 7 just showed a clip of why he is so good... was literally a clip of him jogging 60 metres. Didn't touch the ball, wasn't involved in any play, just jogged a bit across the ground. Apparently the fact he keeps moving makes him a superstar. Pathetic.

    Richmond are tiring already. It is just that Geelong can't kick goals coz their midfield is being done like a dinner. Second half will be interesting.

    I was thinking of using the term Richmondian......but then thought of our more Mebournian finish to the year ?

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
