So we now move to Friday night for the next instalment of a slow and agonising death........

Nope. Even if gws win I doubt we will make up the percentage. Sunday is our best hope but we still need to manage to beat the dons, these are the exact games we lose

    Agree. Holman was a tool. 3 metres out !!! 

    A golden rule for all AFL PLayers.

    NEVER play on from a mark in the goal-square.

    Think...Riewoldt and Shaw in the Grand Final.  Changed the game, much like Holman tonight.

    It’s only about 50 points to make it up, assuming GWS did win by 3 goals, just means we have to beat bombers by 5, not out of the question if you know what is needed going in.

    Just to add this is basically the reverse of what happened in 2017

    "Only 50 points"'; wow, you make it sound so easy

    The line is currently St Kilda 5.5 and Melbourne 12.5  which would mean a +7 point make up. It would honestly be a miracle if this happened. It should be a wake up call for those games against Hawthorn and Collingwood where we casually wasted time kicking the ball around the back line in the last 5 mins when we had all the momentum. Percentage is the most important its ever been this year.

    Gut is telling me the Giants are our best bet. Saints might get a little nervy Friday night, the biggest game for them in probably 6-7 years. 

    The last 7 meetings between them read 5-1-1 Giants way with an average winning margin of 32 in those 5 wins. A 32 point Giants win on Friday will almost guarantee a sleepless night for most ‘landers.

    Don't write off the Dockers, Dogs believing their own hype as the team no one wants to play in the finals.

    Sunday Night in Cairns ball like a cake of soap, Hogan and Co up and about.

    Don't forget the shorter quarters

    yep. Freo played the Cairns game perfectly against us. Hopefully they do the same to the dogs who thrive on outside run and good disposal

    We beat Hawthorn by 43 and Collingwood by 56.

    Those aren't the issues when it comes to our percentage.

    I'd instead be looking at losing to Sydney by 21, Fremantle by 14, or Port Adelaide by 51. Even giving half a yelp in any of those games would have reduced the margins and stopped the bleeding of our percentage.

    Zak Jones will miss Friday night’s clash with the Giants with a hamstring injury.

    The St Kilda midfielder reported soreness following the Round 17 clash against the West Coast Eagles, with subsequent scans revealing a minor strain.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.

    • NON-MFC: Round 7

      Round 7 is here, with the ANZAC commemoration games taking centre stage. Who are you tipping this week, and which results would be most favourable for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.
