Thanks Christ I don’t gamble.

The Tiger's played well, better than expected. But they were playing a very good Adelaide side and umpires that were totally in there favour. Disgusting umpiring. And please noboby talk about the last Grand Final being in Richmond's favour. I'm talking about tonight's match and the AFL being a farce for integrity! All the tarts commentating didn't even mention the bias. Of coarse, payed well.

Sure! Give me a dollar if the crows win. I'll give you a million if the Tiges do.

So Adelaide goes in without M Crouch, Douglas or Lynch, loses B Crouch early, and Sloane cops a knock, and they beat Richmond by 5 goals - but they couldn't beat Essendon last week?

Might be another even season this year.

[TRIGON 4,783]

Tex changes their structure immensely; helped Jenkins have a good game. Think Essendon were lucky to play them when they did.

True, forgot they didn't have Walker last week.

Richmonds forward line was badly exposed.

Crows'll win but, so it's a bad bet no matter the odds.

Good call.

The usual 'home state, home crowd' advantage, perhaps!

Wouldn't be surprised if Hardwick comes out and has a big whinge about the free count like he did after losing to the Cats at Kardinia Park last year.

He is a sore loser - witness the hissy fit with a Crows supporter after the game.

[John Crow Batty 8,869]

Good result for us. Good to see more  top sides droping points so early in the season. Soothes some of the sting from our loss to Geelong. The game against  Brisbane is a must win to keep us on track.

Interesting LH, some angry finger pointing by Hardwick. 

The commentators were quick to state the supporter shouldn’t be getting “lippy”, admittedly we have no idea what was said but no negative comment about Hardwick. It wasn’t the case when Oliver had an altercation with the Carlton fan last year.

Jenkins is a key player .. could easily have had 6 goals in the first half.

Betts had some good patches by way of contesting the ball etc but was not dominant on the scoreboard.

As dl4e mentions Richmond's forward line did not really function.

Hope our strategy people were there working on our plan for Anzac Eve.

Out of interest has Martin ever been tagged?

Very true - goes to show, win a premiership and you become untouchable.  Commentators quickly forget how ordinary they were in 2017 (except when it counts in September).  These days Hardwick looks like the proverbial 'cheshire cat'!   I suspect it won't be long before the smug smile is wiped off his face as they revert to their 2017 (pre Sept) form .

Apparently, Ch7 really looked after Hardwick last night:  "The footage came to light after he fronted the media so Hardwick was able to avoid questions about the incident post-match."  For those who haven't seen it footage is in this articlehttp://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-03-29/watch-hardwick-has-altercation-with-fan

Imagine if that was a demon coach, it would have been shown a dozen times straight away and the whole press conf would be dominated by it.

Yep! Love him already.

Hard to believe he is only 18.  He certainly does the #32 proud!

He could have been ours if we had kept pick 10 and done the deal MFC originally wanted:  I recall Mahoney saying something like:  "... one 1st round (either 2017 or 2018) and one 2nd round pick with exchange of other picks..."

Not sorry that we have Lever and I'm sure he will be great for us but time will tell what the true cost was. 

[george_on_the_outer 7,604]

Rance manned up and made ineffective, Martin played the last quarter in the forward pocket or on the bench, Reiwoldt well held. 

......and Adelaide without Crouch, Douglas and an injured Sloane and Talia.   Toiyges lucky it was only a 6 goal loss.

Roos v saints

What a horrible standard of a game so far, half way through the 1st.  Crowd looks small too for the only game in Melbourne.  I wonder how long they will keep it.

 

[Delusional demon 82 1,197]

Geez.... I hope this isn’t a sign of what’s to come next week against norf, they seem to have a knack of bringing the opposition down to their level , and playing out a scrap 

 

[Ethan Tremblay 30,861]

Nothing like a clanger fest between two bottom four teams on Good Friday. 

[Wiseblood 24,637]

That was one of the worst quarters of footy I've seen in a while. 

[Gorgoroth 12,963]

I’m requesting a frontal lobotomy after sitting through that.

Saints are generally thought of being around 8-12.

Personally I never saw it. I wonder whether the pundits really understood the effort other teams put into Riewoldt which allowed the other St Kilda players to prosper.

Montagna rarely had a bad game either
