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.

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.

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

 

First thing that comes up for me.

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.

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

Chaos ball is done. Possession and quality kicking reign supreme again.

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.

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

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

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
