    only solution is do away with interchange

    coaches will have the choice of run their team into the ground or start resting onballers deep and keeping them deep

    guess what the will choose

    Should not teams have the choice if they want adavantage. Why does the umpire assume in cases where a player may not know the free was paid?

    Yep. The root cause is the interchange

    it all started in the mid nineties

    Games are so low scoring.  Is it the poor conditions or is the game just becoming a sump? Not attractive for viewers this ping pong and grind.

    Geelong’s disposal is Melbourne like. 

    Richmonds pressure has been amazing, Geelong have looked a little Melbourne like under the pressure. I would hate to think how we would be going tonight though.

    I don't mind close games but this is just boring. Seriously Geelong have been the inform team and they have kicked only 1 goal and it's nearly 3/4 time. Even melbourne can do better than that. 

    Credit to dimma and his team for doing there homework but gee Chris your team looks horrible. 

    Lynch doing his hammy is interesting.

    Just watched a little bit of the current match. Cats playing their keepings off game but the Tigers are all over them when they miss a target.

    Not that I'm expecting GC to cause an upset against Collingwood but tonight's result will make it highly unlikely that Port Adelaide drop out of the top 2 places even with a loss to them in the last game which could be a problem for us if it comes down to that result.

    Cats might win this!

    Agreed. Drink heavily but importantly you must put the tv on mute lest you find out about a players uncle used to be boxer or some nonsense

    Flag favourites score 1 goal in 3 quarters

    Wow where do the tigers get all their energy from? It's almost like watching a team off a bye play a team off a 5 day break!

    Mismatched rest periods have been the worst thing about this season. I wanna see the win percentages for teams off 4 day and 5 day breaks.

    Oh Tom, there was still 5 minutes on the clock. No need to rush it. Instead of making it exciting and getting it back to 9 you rush it and they run it up the other end and get a goal killing the game off.

    mini come back from Geelong saved that game from absolute mediocrity.

    Time to reduce team sizes to 20 or 21 and reduce rotations.

    Everyone is sick of 30 players in one eighth of the ground

    Richmond are a very good side but there creeping up my list of most hated clubs quickly. I am so sick of Jack and Tom turning to the umpire complaining they didn’t get a free kick every time they don’t mark it and Hardwick is their coach so that doesn’t help. I really hope they don’t win the flag this year.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
