Serves Adelaide right. I always thought it was the wrong thing to do when the slacked off in Round 23.  Karma.

What

The premiership was there for the taking this season, the most even ever. Richmond took their chances, which is more than can be said for our club.  They deserve the flag.

It shouldn’t be deliberate when the opposition can actually grab the ball before it goes out

This is what you can do with 22 players that are RELENTLESS. Run. Tackle. Pressure.

There is simply no more room in the game for those that dont want it 100%.

Well done Richmond. Showed a lot of heart.

Amazing team football from the Tiges. And their off-field personnel changes are well proven. A massive 10/10 for all involved. 

Gotta feel for Hardwick. Resilience and Perseverance.

Now it is our turn.

Houli absolutely robbed of the Norm Smith. Dusty played well in the 2nd half, but only just.

Well that completes the set now. Every Vic club has 'got it' at some point during the AFL era except the dees! Yes i am being bitter. By 'got it' i mean showed some resolve and stood up when it counted.

Sadly this just annoys me even more in regards to the dees. Now i think back to the disgusting and embarrassing showing in the 2000 grand final...jeepers even when we were decent we didn't get it...

What [censored] is that? Martin with the Norm Smith?  [censored] off.  It is a popularity contest now, not a competition.  Has been the worst season on record.  Howe robbed of the mark of the year.  An average goal of the year.  Dangerfield gett No no votes in the last round so Dusty wins clear.  Poor one sided umpairing all year, and now the Norm Smith??

we must have the longest premiership drought now by a very big margin

I know Bulldogs were the longest but were not Richmond next?

Forgot the Blessed Saints

Thank heavens there is another team nearly as bad as us

We weren't even nearly good enough. Richmond have been consistent. We are a bit of a rabble. I could make a reasonable argument that our list is on par - on talent. But we have some ways to go. On the upside, we saw this year how far a side (Richmond) can come in the space of a season. There is no reason we cannot do that in 2018. But, as I said "we have some ways to go".

Mate we still need to go through the season where we make finals get flogged and excuse our players because  it was their first final and it was a bit tough. 2019 best case for us!

Agree, Dusty was good but he was 3rd or 4th best behind Houli, Lambert and perhaps even with Prestia.

@dazzledavey36called the Tiges as the real deal early in the year...I thought not. The Tiges are my blind spot and Hardwick is now a Premiership coach. Never thought I would see the day.

Good call 'Dazzle'...

I hope Lever doesn’t bring any of the Adelaide “fighting spirit” when he comes over.

I really think Lever is one of a handful of Crows who can hold his head up.

Can't give it to an Adelaide player but Matt Crouch was excellent in a losing team...

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. 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
