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

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
