Don't understand the positivity re: wet weather. Despite our 'chaos' ball style, we are shocking in the wet, and Richmond have always been a good wet weather side.

We're more likely to not score a goal than win.

Yep - no room for positivity in any shape or form in this site

    I'm all for positivity Spalding, just not when it's being positive about an obvious weakness for us.

    Just watch Bachar Houli run and rebound out of defence time and time again without an opponent!

    That's an easy fix. Just cork his left leg. That will nullify his influence.

    Bloke wouldn't know his right foot from his @$$h0!e

    someone please tell me where our goals are going to come from? 

    this side on paper is an absolute worry....

    Also still amazed that AVB is getting a game - he has to perform today or do something that impacts the team 

    I'm putting the targets on AVB and Melk today, big game for these two 

    You're a real clueless supporter MF-C. It's obvious Mate. Tomlinson will dominate on a wing and slot 3 on the run from 55 out. Max is brilliant when he drifts forward and deadly from 35 metres out. There's another 2. You clearly haven't taken any notice of Hannan's form. 3 more goals there. Viney's long leg after he bursts out of the centre . . . kicking it 55 metres over the cluster. Pencil in anther 2 goals from him.  Tommy's virtually been unstoppable over the last 18 months. So there's another 5 in the bag. So far I'm up to 15 goals without trying. Seriously Bro, what's your problem???

    So I can put this out there prior to the game starting, I reckon they've picked the right side today. I watched Colliwobble talls struggle in the wet on Friday night (how bad was Cox), and I think we have enough height in TmAC, Gawn, Tomlinson, Oliver up front. It's gunna be scrappy, but we seem to like it better that way. 

    The omission of Jackson and Bennell isn't so stupid, Not great conditions for Jackson, and in wet heavy slog, not good for Bennell's calves (remember he is a longer project than just this year)

    So it's a half full glass of something when they get up today.

    Jackson only played a half apparently, in the scratch match.

    I wonder IF they have planted him into the Gym, almost full time.?

    It may get there, but it's not exactly looking like 'wet slog' conditions so far. Not a lot of rain on the radar yet either.

    Are you suggesting a late change??

    Would be nice if we could play 4 quarters for once.

    First chance I've had to watch us live this year. Very nervous 

    Hoping that Brayshaw continues to find some form. His brother played a better for Freo today.

    Dees by 13. Hannan and Kossie to combine for 5 goals.

    They said on fox that teams seemed to have worked out how to beat Richmond. 
     

    That’s great to hear but I bet my left nut Goody will play our style whatever the hell that is and lose again just for something different. 


    Currently second last on the ladder ?

    Were told yesterday at 4pm tht they were leaving on a flight to SYD straight after the game. Their heads surely won’t be in this game.

    Why were they only told yesterday when we knew for a couple of days that this was happening?


     

    Our midfielder already showing what a shambles they are.

    Viney is rubbish

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
