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.

    Storm up 20-0. Its a good prelim

    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
