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.

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

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....

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

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

I will stick with my prediction!

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)

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
