Christ can Hawthorn just go away, ever? They look like premiership stuff this half again!

    The only thing worse in Football than Cameron Ling on special comments, is Cameron Ling on special comments during a Geelong game

    Cameron Ling working with Jab Watson is pretty bad. Add in Yobbo Brayshaw who sounds the same on MMM and the “other” McLachlan

    What a mess. Like an over filled Pizza ?

    Look at Richmond forward line. Revolt is getting past it and players like Castagna are a waste. They rely too heavily on Lynch. Constantly relying on players like Bolton for goals is hit or miss. Hawthorn are a pain in the khyber and I wish they would go away but they won't.

    How come this game is listed on Kayo, but I can't seem to find it?

     

    I'm currently watching it on Kayo, so it should be there somewhere.

    Their forward line hasn’t been great so far, but I’d kill to have their forward line. Would swap ours for basically any other at this point!

    Tigers really struggling in the midfield tonight. Just can’t control the ball. Pickett really struggling with speed of the game.

    Have backed hawks to win over 39 points and total match points under 129. The latter l looks a lock. I hope the tigers keep playing rubbish

    So Richmond have been held to 5 goals 2 weeks in a row.

  • Quote

    Tigers totally outplayed yet had one less scoring shot and kicked I think 2 goals 6 from set shots and those set shots weren’t difficult. Now we regularly kicked the same from set shots last year and reckon it cost us about 4 games. Can’t work out why they don’t put more store into goal kicking accuracy. It wins games.

    Frost bashers where are you????? Big big mistake letting him go. A Rolls Royce at the Hawks, didn't miss a target tonight and never got caught holding the ball.

    What does this say about our coaching group? FML.

    Clarkson has assembled a good squad again. Plenty of talent.  Frost and Frawley are certainly very capable key tall defenders. They look familiar!!!!! 
     

    Their worry is midfield pace and smaller players yet the Tigers slipped and fumbled all night. Did not take their chances. Circa their pre 2017 form.

    This time last year you would have said that we have passed the likes of hawks and North but no we're in our usual position playing all the kids in round 2.

    What is this curse they call the MFC

    Kicking long to a pack will bring efficiency down, didn't miss a 15-25 meter kick. Big big mistake exactly what were missing, Smith ain't a backman's bullet hole sorry to say.

    It is called Diamond Jim curse - all the kids have a look at the 4 ins to the squad - we have more talent than those mobs give it some time we’ve played West Coast in Perth in 30 degrees and bizarre circumstances and obliterated the Blues in first half and won game - biggest problem is negative supporters who talk about some curse get over it marshmallow north supporter

    This was always likely, anyone watching Frost over his journey could see he was progressively limiting his clangers and increasing his zingers, if that is a word to describe his extraordinary athletic and often audacious dashes out of defence. He was always a defensive weapon just had to work to his strengths, size and speed and limit his kicking errors. In a well organised defence it seems it is working.

    A brief reminder that last week Hawthorn lost by 10 goals and looked just as bad as Richmond did tonight.

    Not sure I agree with the "Clarkson is a genius", "Frost is great", "Hawthorn are so good" stuff going on in here. The COVID break means that, I think, we need to see 3-4 weeks of football before we start drawing conclusions on sides.

    Meanwhile, Richmond tonight looked like us at our worst. Repeat inside 50s but never looked liked scoring, opening up their back half for Hawthorn to cut them open and every time Hawthorn went forward they looked like scoring. See above as to why I wouldn't be prematurely writing them off yet.

    (PS: if we win on Sunday we'll be above Richmond on the ladder...).

    I thought the same...I thought we had changed into Richmond jumpers.

    I think the Tiges are suffering a bit of the old premiership hangover.

    They're not as good as their publicity will have them believe.

    Good old Jack struttin' around preening himself but doing nothing else.

    Rioli lucky to have 3 kicks in the last 2 games.

    Pickett, great story last year but looks out of his depth as do a number of others.

    If you're off your game in this competition it makes you look stupid and they looked it tonight.

    Be interesting to see if they can break out of it or go the way of the Dogs...

    Mate. He kicked into his own players back from 3m away at one point.

    P.s. would have gladly kept him

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      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?
