It's an intriguing closely matched see-saw arm wrestle of a tussle.

Sydney won the second quarter by a goal, Richmond won the third quarter by a goal, and now Sydney are winning the final quarter by a goal! 

I think we should be impressed by the Tiger's discipline to not put the cue in the rack after been a full twelve point in front at quarter time.

If you run out of Frank Zappa, my wife is currently watching a Korean celebrity/reality TV show where they compete to invent new dishes for kids - the winning recipe idea gets an official launch with proceeds going to charity. 

Each episode of 'Funstaurant' is about 40 minutes, I think, so you can catch a goal in the game, watch the show, and be back in time for the next goal.

Was a trash game, and in such a low scoring game hard to believe the free kick for Richmond's first goal. Would be spewing.

swans' kennedy with a medial and heeney's foot / ankle didn't look good either

you'd expect we'll play swans in the next three matches, and hawthorn too, with patton gone with a hammy

We play hawks next Sunday in our traditional 3.35 time slot.

I watched the second half which was like watch grass grow. It was wet in last quarter but 1 goal each in the second half  is a terrible indictment on the AFLs management of the game.

Commentators have referred to the Dogs/Blues as a 'goal fest' twice now.

10 goals to 7 in the 4th Q

We know Clarkson is going to go to work on the maintaining possession/keeping off game. Let's hope we have learnt from the Geelong and West Coast games

bluebaggers mauled footscray

the latter have gone from premiers just four years ago to a more inconsistent side than us

when they're good they're very good; when they're bad they're horrid

Would prefer Paton played, a shadow of his younger self and hes the perfect matchup for O Mac.

Ironic that Hardwick is blaming the swans for their own low score and 'farcical footy'.  Claims Swans had a spare in defence all game and they couldn't score.

Well their scores this side of the covid break have been:  36, 39, 67, 79, 34.  Not exactly flash.  Maybe the problem is closer to home.

He had the option to man up the spare defender but chose not to.  Coaching??

I think Hardwick's lack of coaching prowess is returning and they miss Rutton and Caracella who were the cornerstones of changing their 2016 fiasco to their 2017 flag. 

It is no coincidence that they are both at Essendon who seem to be on a roll.

They are an aging team without the talent coming through.  Methinks we may have seen the end of the Richmond Era.  Quite happy if that comes to pass.

Hardwit was putting an extra at the contest, and the swans didn’t match it.  Longmire says the only played 6 Back all night.  Think you may be on to something....

Last year I said the Blues would win a flag before us and was roundly criticised.

I will stick with my prediction!

Bulldogs are playing an attacking game which leaves space for the other team. Blues won the "Space" race yesterday because they had less fumbles.

The Bulldogs could suit our gameplan.

You weren't by me, I think they are tracking nicely and have voiced my opinion on this for a few years. Really good spine put together

Apparently Hardwick contacted Longmire straight after the rant to apologize.  That didn't go down too well either...the genie was out of the bottle.   unnecessary-and-unwarranted-horse-hits-back-at-dimma-comments

Poor form for Hardwick to blame Longmire for their crappy game when it was in his own control to change it.

Interesting. It was the worst game i have seen in years. 
similiar to a Ross Lyon Saints game against Footscray, and a Terry Wallace Richmond v Adelaide game. 
Regardless of what the Coaches say, play that style and the game is dead

I'm just waiting for the Essendon  - AFL lovefest to continue with Shiel either getting off or downgraded to 1 match. Add that to a soft draw that belies where they finished last year. Is it me or does Essendon get looked after more than just about any other club? (keep in mind that I have an unnatural hatred of them stemming from the 2000 GF)

Sorry RtG but it is entirely natural to hate Essendon for that. In fact there are many reasons to hate them and they are without question my most hated club. On reflection they are the only club that I currently hate. (Special mention to Carlton, Collingwood, Geelong & Hawthorn and no fan of Adelaide or WCE either)

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
