Richmond

Bar horrible umpiring, I think Richmond v Brisbane and West Coast v Hawthorn will be crackers.

    I think the AFL has done a good job in giving Brisbane 2 matches this week considering their non-existent injury list.

    They have a 15 hour break between games and a short flight to the west. They better not whine.

    I think the top 4 will be interesting. I expect Brissy will get done by Richmond and West coast will beat Hawthorn. This is where % will play a part. between w/c and brissy. I hope Brissy get a home final but may have to play the eagles over there.

    This round is big in the South Australian context.

    Could see the demise of one if not two coaches.

    I reckon Hinkley has more to worry about. We’ll know by the end of Port’s game whether or not the players want him gone or not. 

    On another note, from a reliable source I was told that at the start of the season, the Fremantle players were all told not to expect to play finals this season. Odd.

    Filth v drug cheats. Not watching/listening, nor checking the scores.

    Who do I want to win? It would be like choosing between typhoid and cholera.

    Much as I hate to say it, Drugsters being screwed by maggots.  

    How was that a 50 to Moore when he actively tried not to take the returned ball?

    Clearly we need to either get bigger louder crowds, or buy an amplifier to shout “baaaallllllll” whenever we lay a tackle even if it is disposed.

    It's like neither team is trying to win this. Constant misses this quarter.

    Football sucks, I can’t believe both these teams are going to be playing finals. 

    If these sides are playing finals   well we don't need to improve that much.   Well I know we do need to improve but both these sides are terrible, just shows how lowly we played    Not looking forward to tmorra

    This side is in the top 4 right now. Putrid stuff. Is that the quality of the competition right now?

    That's a good question. 

    Two weeks ago a decimated Melbourne side played Collingwood at the same venue and lost by 17 points while, last night, an equally decimated Essendon lost by 11 points last night. 

    The Demons had 18 shots at goal to the Pies 20. Last night it was the Bombers 15 to 26 and yet they are in the finals, the Pies can still make top 4 and we're way out of it. The other teams have had their share of injuries of late but they haven't been blighted by them the way we have.

    In a way, it sums up the season for us.

    If only essenscum had lost last week or to nth or Sydney.  They would have missed finals probably.  Hopefully they go out week1. 

    Hopefully Richmond and west coast win and knock the pies out of the top 4

    Ryan and Rioli, both so exciting to watch, both electric and skilful. We don’t need one small crumbing forward, we need two.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
