Eagles won flag without Nik Nat and Gaff, let’s see how the Tigers go.

Who knows, could be an event that bonds them even tighter and becomes their rallying cry...Vive Le Prance’.

Since you enjoy hypotheticals so much, here's one:

Bloke that ate those punches sexually assaults a women in the crowd. Her husband, wearing a filthy Richmond guernsey, remonstrates. 

Whats wrong with understanding the full narrative before forming an opinion on something? 

You dodged my question on how he is not family? Thats not the way to respond and its now totally off topic. Cant be bothered. Ban em.

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

I think even more so than Martin Houli is the catalyst to the Tigers free wheeling and dangerous entries into the forward 50.

I mean who is he ever on?? Just plays that rebounding defender and seems to be totally unaccounted. I can't for the life of me see why a coach just wouldn't put a stopper on him and see how Richmond go without his rebound!

I'll say it again, hypotheticals don't outrage me. The bloke was just fine afterwards, no need to cry for his family over what could have happened because it didn't. The fact he insisted police make no further inquiries suggests to me he may have provoked it and as always, the short video filmed on a phone captures 20% of the incident and none of the context. Facts are all I'm interested before I form an opinion on something and call for witches to be burned at the stake, that's actually all I'm trying to say here. Take it or leave it mate. 

On to tonites game the 2 most despicable clubs are playing each other. Maybe better if geelong win coz then they will think their shizen doesn't stink and we can belt them next week. Won't happen though.

I would be happy if they belt the crap out of each other in a nil all draw.  We should get a bead on the cats and any new things they are up to in preparation for next week.

Attack begins at Half Back. Houlli plays that role to perfection 

he was all over the ground in the first quarter last night

Puts a hole in the tigers tilt and opens the door a little wider.

hate to see players injured etc etc...

I must be a bad person because this news does not make me the least bit sad.

Probably wouldn't dislike him so much if it wasn't for the OTT media groveling whenever his name is mentioned.

Nothing happened to anyone's family, a few blokes had a dust up and called it a day as far as I can tell. Context is key. How do you know who started that? I'm not condoning the behavior, I just dont like the idea of crucifying people before all the facts are known.  

I'll save my outrage for situations that aren't hypothetical in any case. 

Nothing hypothetical, it's a fact. The Richmond fan punched the guy to the ground and then stood over him and continued smashing him while he looked to be unresonsive. Then turned and started punching into other people. Absolutely lost control. If there was more before the footage which he thought was wrong, he should have called for security.

Stop condoning violence, Smokey.

I see where you are coming from but I think you are wide of the mark on this. Regardless of the circumstances that led to this the Richmond guy lays into a defenceless guy lying on the ground.

He deserves to go for major assault charges. And if the victim won't press charges the police should.

Pies and tigers now $6 

us and eagles at $7 for the flag 

eagles at $7 is great odds imo they won’t lose at home so should finish top 2

And here's the full narrative by an eye witness. Doubt you'll be pleased with it.

I reckon its bad........He said initial signs not good....players all going to him after the game. Looked a lot like Levers.

Feel for any player with that injury.

Not exactly the way any player would like to "celebrate" their 200th game!  Gotta feel for the guy, no matter what you may think of him as a player.


Darcy Parish left out by the Bummers. Thank God for Clayton Oliver

Paul Roos worked that 2015 draft superbly making Swans bid high for Callum Mills then choosing Oliver over Parish.

Roos is the gift that keeps giving, 8 years later.

Amen to that.

Jamie Elliott gets the Pies first after a long time out of the game. He will be a strong addition for them this year.

Gotta love Ablett playing forward. No longer does the mercurial and exerts zero pressure.

Gotta be his last year


The new rules have really made it a high scoring affair. I’ve barely had time to breathe with all these goals...

I can’t believe there’s that much space at the G without advertising on it.

Must admit it is so far a better game than last night. Much more pressure.

  • 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.
