Sounds very much like you're more hopeful than anything else, mate.

Richmond win it unfortunately.

Yep on both counts mate.

A very disappointing game that I thought was over by about the 5 minute mark of the first Q.

It was pretty obvious Davis wasn't up to it in his first contest with Jack...that would not be a good look for his teammates to see the Captain make the wrong call on his fitness and put himself above the team.

Also sort of hindsight here but if you are going to take a player in after an operation the last one would have to be Whitfield...not exactly the poster boy of tough and uncompromising...

    All we need is

    A home ground

    A dynamic president

    Recruiters with a vision

    A development program

    A skilled coach

    A club culture

    A dozen or so extra top line players.

    Yes great club team Richmond, great coach yes dynamic president, a skilled coach yes all true form 2017 untill 2019 this Richmond team,. Just go back to 2016 8 wins, coach under pressure everyone was calling for his sacking, a challenge to the president. Great club we can never be as good,  that's rubbish, between 1983 to 2012 this great club Richmond only played in 2 finals series. 12 months in footy is a long time, 12 months ago we were top 4 all of those points are what we had, 12 months later and all those points we don't have, wait 12 months, might be totally reverse. Our coach is only in his third year, Hardwick has been around 3 times longer and has been called everything from great coach to useless.

    Dusty put in a stellar last quarter to clinch the medal but the kid gets in the picture.

    What a debut and he was very influential.  His disposal skills and decision making seemed to inspire his veteran teammates.

    It was as if they didn't want to be shown up.

    The Pickett debut is one hell of a story.

    Picket is now a life member of RFC after one game!

    It's also a lesson in how life can be so unfair at time.

    Delidio was sitting in the stands looking on.

    Selective at best picking 2016. The one year in the last seven they did not make the finals.

    Random side point. Adam Treloar chose Collingwood over Richmond as they were “closer” to a flag hahaha.

    I think we need to take as many positives out of todays game as possible. At least GWS have dethroned us to take out the most recent horrendous finals performance.

    Such irony. GF’s we aern’t Playing in

    GF’s At The MCG, and that doesn’t bother you.

    In fact you ridicule those who show disdain for it

    You really sound like someone born with entitlement. I find most of your posts laughable. Most of them are negative and come from a 'born to rule' place. Get over it, it's a game called AFL where the playing field is NOT level, hasn't been for very many years.

    And how many seasons has Hardwick had before proving himself to be a genius?  In 2016 the microwaves were warmed up at Punt Road and there were calls for his blood.

    Problem with AFL over last few years the final has been a blow out. Boring to watch and unfortunately most switched of half way through the third. 

    Unfortunately this game has no more growth as much as they push the life out of it in non footy states.

     

    Dirts - never fear.  Shocking and Gillon will no doubt come up with some more grippingly great rule changes off season to make the brand more appealing.

    Culture is a Club thing Mono, not just down to the coach. Six years in to the Roos/Goodwin thing and we do not have it.

    Port already took that mantle from us in 2007 ADC.  44 v Cats 163.  Unless you are referring to the Prelim.  Then yes

    I'd have GWS above us for a decent first quarter and keeping the Tigers goalless if it werent for a dodgy free kick to Riewoldt and a very late Rioli goal. Our prelim would've been x10 as horrendous if it was a GF

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
