Has anyone else noticed how well this game has been umpired? Just about the perfectly umpired game of AFL footy. Please let them umpire this way tomorrow so we can fairly and squarely work out who deserves the big dance.

Ahem. Nicholls.

    This is my exact thoughts. Imagine Eddie celebrating with his two little tweebs as we lose in a granny. God no, just no.

    Yeah, and my neighbour is mad Collingwood, if they won I'd have to belt him and I don't really want to, seems like a nice bloke.

    Richmond are being pathetic. Stuff em. It is hard to watch as I hate the filth..Maybe if we win tmrw it is a godsend. To beat the filth in a granny would be wonderful.

    C'wood are doing to R'mond what they did to Melbourne on QB ........ only doing it better!  God I hate the prospect of that mob being in the Grand Final ....... but I guess if we make it, beating them will taste even sweeter.

    Hopefully played there GF tonight, can't play any better than this.

    Richmond look so slow and lethargic, only played once in a month hopefully the same with the Weagles.

    So Collingwood vs Melbourne grand final next week!

    Ugh the mere idea of losing to Collingwood in a Grand Final makes me physically ill. 

    Worse, they will absolutely belt the Eagles at the G. They are beyond overrated and can't play the G.

    Geez, Collingwood have hit their peak at the right time this year. Going to be near impossible to beat.

    Honestly didn't rate them at the start of the season but their team is terrifying when clicking.

    Richmond...being shown up...they are limited in style. Collingwood exampliflying it.

    We CAN beat this Collingwood.

    The flag is ours...if we really REALLY want it ;)

    Why are there empty seats next to the MCC if its a sell out?? Never got that..

    Not all seats in the MCC are reserved, those ones empty are the walk up on game day seats. As an MCC member myself it’s a bloody weird old school system and a night like tonight shows it’s not the best, there should be no empty seats tonight.

    According to Bruce, Howe has been phenomenal. 8 touches (2 marks). Bruce is done. 

    And is he saying that that absolute champion Prancer having a typical amazing game?

    He went straight forward after the opening bounce. As Collingwood got on top he didn't get moved back into the middle.

    It's funny how Richmond look so different when their stars are down. They haven't had to deal with those players being out of the side or even out of form.

    Pull the other one, they've beaten pretty much everyone all year and they haven't lost at the G for 18 months.

    Twas judging by their performance tonite Uranus.

    unfortunately though Billy Slater gave away a goal line penalty for a beautifully executed hip and shoulder. loved it. Ref didn't - called it a shoulder charge. if he gets charged by the NRL minimum penalty is a week. might be his last game and no fairytale GF for him

    I saw that. For all the NRL talks about how tough they are, that was a fair bump in footy. And the guy jumped straight back up!

    Brodie Grundy is also tearing Nankervis to pieces.

    Richmond's lack of talls (no key defender to go with Cox, no tall for the bail out mark down the line, no second ruckman) is a massive problem.

    I suppose Lynch helps with that next year.

    Rance is so overrated.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
