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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
