Question to the TV crew. From the far reaches of L4 I saw Dustbin Fartin’ drop the ball in a tackle.. no decision.. then he touched a Melbourne player and got a HTB. 

As bad a call on TV as it appeared from the ground?

    Well, it’s an improvement. Team defence looking a lot better, but still all at sea going forward.

    Look... we're not necessarily playing well here.  The dew is making us fumble the ball, miss targets and turn the ball over a bit.  Our forward line isn't working too well and we're allowing the Tigers just to pick the ball off at will.  In the first term we were much better when we lowered our eyes, but with the pressure up we're rushing and it shows.

    On the flip side, I feel like we're setting up better defensively and the pressure has been good.  Kudos to Goody for making some changes, both with the ins this week and the way we've set up.  We are well and truly in this game, but third terms have been our kryptonite this season.  We need to make sure we come out switched on to ensure we stick with them.

    I think you're mostly right WB, but not sure about the dew making us fumble. I think we're good enough at that ourselves. No skills.

    Hore has shown he can almost break even against Riewoldt. Send TMac forward, we need a target.

    Effort & intent has been better. Obviously Goody has made some adjustments defensively to stem the flow. Forward line broke down that quarter whilst is looked good in the first, we were lowering the eyes & hitting targets, it was all just bombing that quarter. 

    Feels like the Neeld years, just hanging in there & at some point the opposition will kick away.

    I think you've forgotten what the Neeld years were like.  This doesn't even come close.

    That qtr was poor, seems like our backs pushing back when the tigers do to even the out number(watching on tele) so it didnt cost us 8 goals.

    Liked us showing that we can hit a target and stop the repeat inside 50s, tigers are great at that and it was a better concentration.

    Our setups got shut down a bit and got sucked in, hopefully they adjust and we get back on top in general play and we'll get better i50s for the forwards to implement the structures and leads they did in the first

    The Rioli drop on the boundary was worse. Dropped it to himself, and the commentators were fawning over "all the little things that Richmond does that other teams just dont"...

    YES!


    No Key Forwards able to impact a contest against the grain apart from a nice contested mark and Goal from the Bull who is more a medium tall forward.    Time to go after Cameron pls.

    Tracc and Harmes virtually zero impact so far!??

    For all the Jeffy haters and doubters he has worked his [censored] off and played mutiple roles so far.  Decent effort / pressure when we have lost the ball also.

    Viney everywhere but struggling to break free.

    Hore playing another solid game.  Frosty better in the first than the 2nd but doing ok.

    Hibb doing a fabulous lock down job on Dusty to this point.

    Weideman to CHB, TMac forward.

    Any chance Trac will ever stand up in a critical time? He has done SFA

    Darcy Parish - the second time he will be out of the bummers senior side this year. 

    Get into his ear JosMah. give him a bell.

    Geez the umpiring. Between the new rules and umpiring we just don't get a fair go at it.

    Proud of their effort so far.

    I love the positional changes.

    We are in the game.

    I just wish Weideman would take a mark.

    Won't argue that we fumble anyway, but we're going for a world record tonight with how slippery it is out there.

    The Neeld years felt like losing to Essendon by 120 points.

    Is Trac playing?

    First half could only be described as disgraceful.

    Brayshaw leading possies but has turned it over relentlessly.

    If we cleaned up our disposal we could be leading.

    Very good effort in first half. Can we repeat it?

    do they train with a ball,fumbles are terrible ,first take or you done this level

    Don’t disagree with you about the commentators, but as long as you’re not being tackled you are allowed to drop the ball, that’s what a bounce is and what happens when you drop the ball to your foot in an attempt to kick it but miss. No free in either situation.

    Noticed that GLG. Preeetty sure you still need to handball to yourself, right? 

    Probably came in this year without me realizing..

     

    We’re much better than last week in most areas but our skills are too bad for us to keep in this game. 

    That’s partly due to Richmond’s elite pressure but also because we’re just butchering it. 

    The defensive structure is better, the positional changes Goodwin made are largely working and we have a better hunger and work rate, all of which are positives. But if we keep turning it over at half forward Richmond will eventually make us pay.

    we are lucky to still be in the game given our [censored] poor disposal. i dont know why they waste a spot on ANB every damn week he is proven to be a waste of space. If Max can only get his mojo back in his hitouts to advantage we could have a chance. What i dont understand though is we kicked the ball out of defence at least half a dozen time and there were no melbourne players there, what gives. why are they not staying up the ground to cover the opponents. and give our backs something to kick to for a change, as they are getting sick of kicking it to richmond players.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
