The Arc. Wow, how embarrassing for the AFL. Vlastuin clearly missed the ball, you could see daylight between his fist and the ball. Arc too scared to overrule.  Whately will go nuts.

    Yep, will probably get a fine for that but honestly deserves weeks.

    In a fair system he would get at least a week but as we know it's not a fair system.

    Thought it would have been a 50m at least, happened after the whistle for the first infringement.

    Pretty uninspiring game so far, hopefully the Saints make a game of it in the second half.

    Poor quality game tonight. Low tackle count and bar a few minutes of Shia Bolton magic it’s been a snooze fest.

    The AFL is still amateur in this regard. Could decide a flag and it’s not good enough. 
    if the technology is not there, stick with the goal ump

    Just had a meal at a friends house.  They are mad Richmond.  Except for the wife.  The wife of the family invited us around not realising richmond were playing in a knock out final.  I said to mate when I walked in, sorry mate, we'll eat and get the hell out of your hair.  Left at half time.  Got home and whacked on the internet and jumped on here to Demonland.  Because thats all we've got to feed the Dee bug.  Emotions rush back to me about losing those Cairns games.  Could have been more or less locked in in the finals with a week or two to play.  We [censored] up this year.  Still bloody hurts.

    Watch the AFL say it was a correct decision. They hate any criticism.

    As Daisy said I can’t that getting weeks. It was a high tackle but the damage was done by Jones landing awkwardly. No justification for a suspension that I can see

    The original idea of the video review was for obvious/clear mistakes. Umpires call was the correct call by ARC

    Absolutely disgrace to say that was inconclusive 

    We could all see it at home

    Saints bought players failing badly. Brad Hill scared sh-tless. Marshall their best by a mile.

    Kent did well there

    This is a damp squib. Richmond haven’t had to get out of second gear.

    Looking forward to one of Geelong or Collingwood getting knocked out tomorrow.

  • Quote

    Hopefully tomorrow nights match is better. This one has been a fizzer. Saints have kicked themselves out of it.

  • Quote

    Such horrible skills from the saints. 

    the tigers are happy to sit back let them attack. When they get within 4 goals they get one and relax again.

    He slung him from around the neck...that's where the damage was done.

    He also landed awkwardly because of the slinging motion of the tackle...

    ...by the way who thinks we might have picked the right Freo wingman?

    Nowhere near the cost but much greater value.

    2 of my 3 most disliked players playing tonight, Lynch and Cochin, both snipers. The other is Stringer.

    Is it true Carlisle missed the match due to his wife having a baby?? Wow

    Terrible game, eps. saints kicking at goal, robbed themselves of any chance.

    But you can see from the outset they could not handle the pressure that tigers bought to the game, could not adjust to the higher tempo as a team.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
