Richmond's style of play and the components required to enact that style of play is going to be hard to conquer ... especially now that they have got the fortnight's rest.

The Tigers ability to flood forward to create a scoring opportunity and/or then hold the ball in their own forward line using players with amp'd up leg speed is extemely effectice

We can sort of do the same occasionally but the 'new' footy that Richmond play is not easily copied.

The good news is that we can only potentially match-up against Richmond in a GF this season and then of course anything can happen on the day.

 

Just saw Rance v Puopolo...

It blows my mind that Rance is still lauded as an upstanding citizen by commentators who are watching his games LIVE - when there is plenty of video evidence to the contrary, on just about a weekly basis.

If his name was Mitch Robinson or Hayden Ballentyne etc etc etc...

 

The key game is tonight’s big clash at Optus Stadium. A win for Collingwood ensures that we won’t have to travel interstate should we progress through next week and means that the Tigers get to meet the remaining interstate challenger in the preliminary final.

This might sound a sacrilege but it makes it almost worthwhile for us to ... er, shock, horror ... hope for a Collingwood victory. ?

That said, Melbourne has shown this year that interstate travel and hostile crowds hold no fear for this team.

Must say that I tend to agree simply because I think WCE can take Richmond out in the preliminary.

Long way to go but fingers crossed.

The Sydney Derby is strangely irrelevant. Will barrack for the Swans simply because I fear a resurgent GWS as they get their stars back.


Never thought I would say this but Comon the Pies!!

Looking forward to this thread a little later on. Hoping Nicholls is BOG for the Pies.

 

Do I really have to barrack for C'wood.......  uuggghh.?

I'm heading to Optus tonight with my eldest whose a Pie and a couple of my Meth Coast mates. No doubt who I'll be cheering for despite a Meth Coast win and us rolling the Hawks would enable me to get to the prelim

Half time between Richmond and Essendon in the VFL ... 34-27 with Essendon leading

Great finish to that one. Richmond out in straight sets.

I started watching the replay of last night at 1:30pm today knowing it would end easily by the time today’s game started. I am only just at the start of the 3rd quarter due to the number of times I’ve had to rewind plays over and over again!

Oh oh, Josh Kelly limping badly off the field. 


What idiot signed off on these two guernseys? Can barely tell burnt orange and red apart on the AFL app (albeit lower quality than watching on TV). Shouldn't the Giants be wearing their white away strip?

Nice work by Phil Davis getting the F-bomb into his half time interview.

 

It is hard to watch games of footy from the SCG. It is not the right size for footy.

It's partly the camera angle on TV.  Main camera is too low.

Better than those drone/Ariel shots from our game last night.  Nice ideas but poor quality.

 

I’m at the game (if you could call it that)... I can’t recall being at a more boring game. Nothing like finals footy... where’s the frenetic pace, where’s the risk taking?  If Buddy doesn’t wake up soon, the Swans season is over.

Many GWS supporters there?

  • 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.

    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?
