Dropped some easy marks but I'll concede the rust factor. 

$50 he has more 5 goal games than any MFC player this year?

    Either way, the two power forwards weren’t that bad for their first hit out. It surprises me how Jack and Houlli never seem to age. Hope our boys have that type of sustained careers.

    Tigers will find it very hard to cover Rance for the season.

    Good result for us.

    Terrible luck for Rance, and Richmond will have to juggle their backline - we managed it with Lever out, I’m sure they’ll find a way too

    It’s almost like the Tiggas went to sleep for two quarters

    Carlton’s skills are pretty ordinary but if they can use the corridor they move it quickly enough to hurt some teams...hopefully not us!

    I never wish an injury on anyone. And I mean never. Michael Long or Dipper after the brutal devastation they inflicted on our players I will boo and hate but wish them good health.

    The interesting thing with Rance tonight is MELBOURNE are in a red hot premiership window and Richmond is a main contender. Richmond without Rance are not the same threat.

    Wish him well but make no mistake it is in the MFC interest it is an acl.

    Interesting game for clubs to analyse 

    Carlscum were so awful in the 1st Quarter that i think the Tiges just lost their edge for an hour

    Agree with this. He is a genuine quality forward who will most likely have better quality supply than Tommy or Weid.

    Mark him down for 55+ i reckon

    As you say ....analysis is the key

    Martin was okay but he was tackled and his impact was limited

    Yep. The MFC need to watch every game closely

    We need to beat top sides

    Houlli, really like him as a player, this past week would have been a very hard one.

    Agreed. He’s such a consistent player, highly underrated IMO.

    Rance organises them so well. I reckon he prevents at least 2 goals a game. They're not the same team without him. Their premiership challenge is in massive trouble. Their defence is ordinary without Rance.

    We managed without Lever after Lever played about 6 games for us and we wern’t Coming off a premiership where Lever was integral.

    Richmond are [censored] without Rance.

    I’ve been looking at that as well GWS @ $18 worth taking and Dees. Don’t back us early though. We are too injured and will start slowly.

    Is it me or did Dustin Martin look really really average tonight. Looked slow and was caught several times which is unlike Martin.

    Yes indeed W45, will pay to back us after a loss or two for sure. I do like Gus at 26 for Charlie tho. He didnt even start till round 6 or 7 last year and came 3rd. Surely thats overs.....

    Totally agree with others here, Martin slow, getting caught, and will start getting angry. 

    Why is Riewoldt the only player in the AFL allowed to put both hands on the back/shoulders of his opponent and take the mark?

    ........as well as interview himself and make the whole general public wait until he's finished interviewing himself and jog over ready to be carried off for 250 g's....give us a break FOX.

    Maybe Richmond’s luck over the last 2 years on the injury front is coming to an end, if they lost Martin aswell they would be in serious trouble

    Last nights game would still get a big crowd on a sunday afternoon. 

    Carlscum are not good enough to open the season

    That stupid rule has been thrown out.

    As long as it's not a push

    Its never good to see a player be seriously injured.  But there is a bit of karma in Rance's knee injury. 

    How many players have his knees seriously damaged?  Rance often goes for a mark leading with his knee into a players head or back even when he has no chance of marking.  He broke Tim Smith's ribs a couple of years ago.  Smith didn't play again for a while.   

    As they say 'live by the sword, die by the sword'.

    Richmond have been lucky with injuries.  This will test them.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
