If we get up tomorrow I’d be happy if we go in the GF as underdog.

    Rance whinging for free kicks with 3 minutes to go.

    The game's biggest [censored] and IMO one of its most over-rated players.

    Forget just current day. He’s one of the most overrated players of all time.

    Sidebottom had 41 touches with only 6 contested. That is poor coaching - had to send a tag to him.

    Make no mistake, after we win tomorrow, The Nut goes to Him next week

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

    They are the seats the West Coast supporters purchased, but didn’t attend to silence the crowd.

    Seeing Richmond trudge off the ground sullen faced makes me so very happy.

    As a positive, if we do win tomorrow, we'll get to play the GF out of our home rooms (we share with Richmond, Collingwood share with Hawthorn, so if Richmond had won we would have had to play out of the other rooms).

    Richmond finished 13th in 2016, their supporters wanted Hardwick gone but they kept him, premiership 2017.

    Collingwood finished 13th in 2017, their supporters wanted Buckley gone but they kept him...2018?

    Beat me too it, not sacking the coach has paid off twice.

    The pies are playing above themselves tonight, hard to do that 2 weeks in a row as it takes a lot out of the team mentally and physically.  We have been consistent for the last 4 games.

    Pies were very good against West coast in Perth too.

    They will be bloody hard to stop playing like that.

    If we make it, and we are still in the realms of 'if', we will need to play smart footy. Tiges needed to take the sting out of that one earlier. When they started to control the pace, they could then go hard. Instead, Collingwood took their game off them.

    If we get through, 'underdog' will suit is perfectly. The Tigers were beatable, the Pies are beatable. Would be a great matchup, and a killer GF.

    Now let's get to making it there! Can't wait for tomorrow!

    West Coast beat Collingwood at the G earlier this year.

    Collingwood weren't playing like this earlier in the year.

    Official crowd: 94,959 at the MCG . Little disappointing when so many could not get a ticket. Take it the MCC didn't all turn up .

    Grundy gave Nankervis an absolute bath, and Richmond had no midfield.  Sidebottom had an armchair ride.  Tigers did not have a Maxy to drop back into the hole and stop cox.  Tigers kept bombing it in to big outnumbers, and Riewoldt was outstanding under nearly impossible conditions.  Think if we get through we have to win the midfield, and cut out their marking on the outside.  Shut them down like we did the hawks.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      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?
