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

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: 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?
