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

it’s simple

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.

  • 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.
