    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

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

    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

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
