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

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.

  • 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.
