The gesticulating by every player within 50m of the ball appealing deliberate out of bounds is what gets me 

Deliberate should not be paid if a player appeals for it.

Bringing the game into disrepute should be the charge instead.

    Compare Richmond list quality and ours and it is embarrassing. Also embarrassing how in Cairns when we played in a monsoon we continually tried to handball the ball and kick backwards, tonight both teams had the right idea,  move the ball forward at all costs

    There will be a number of list changes .. very frustrating yet another year wasted but  Yze great get will change our style, no doubt list changes will help ..56 still waiting to wave my 1st jumper from 1973

    Richmond remind me of Brisbane during their threepete - they always seemed to get more than their fair share of 50/50 balls. Maybe just a higher proportion of footy iq in the team or sheer [censored], who knows.

    Wouldnt mind that Bolton kid in our team.

     

    Shai Bolton is a gun. Quick, great skills and a good head. Unfortunatley we have too many list cloggers filling that role like spargo and anb

    All my hopes lie with the Lions. A Richmond Geelong final will be hard to stomach.

    Life is a let down, get used to it. The underdog victory, by it's nature is a rare phenomena! I seriously thought Brisbane beating Richmond 2 weeks ago was bad news, it opened the door for a Rich v Geel GF. If Rich won the QF, we'd have a Port v Bris Prelim, and 1 of them in the GF. 

    Back in 2015, the WCE QF win over Hawthorn was wildly celebrated as their demise, they of course came back n won the premiership. However, that WCE QF win robbed us of 2 very good prelim matchups: Freo v WCE & Haw v North. North were a great matchup for Hawthorn, and seemed to have physically matched up with them well at the time, beating them once or twice. And a Derby prelim, nothing more to be said.

    So beware the qualifying finals.

    What free agent will Richmond snap up next. Seeing Lynch run around for them confirm equality in the AFL is an illusion.

    Must have been watching a different game to me. A winning score with 46 points doesn’t exactly make them unbeatable. 

    You get a consistent team on the park, and then your best team at the right time of year, and you make sure during the regular season you win 3 of the 5 games you play every year that could go either way. We aren’t that far off it, we just need to do it more consistently.

    A 66 point defeat in a prelim followed by 2 substandard seasons says otherwise. Not sure what’s in the water from where you’re from but we’re MILES off winning a flag.

    2 years ago, when we finished 4th, Brisbane finished 15th. They are going into a prelim as favourite tonight. Lots can happen if you get on a role.

    Sorry, was trying to be optimistic. Forgot where I was for a minute. What I meant to say was ‘It’s the curse of Norm Smith! This club is killing me! Never being a member again! Trade Oliver’.

    Say what you want about Richmond and their supporters but I’m so [censored] jealous of them right now. Even more so if they win next weekend.

    Another interpretation of the rules tonight.

    That was such a blatant wrong decision

    I hate umpires and commentators. They are both [censored] weak. Dangerflog shepherded the Brisbane player but none of them had the balls to call it out.

    We should enquire about Payne. Looks a beauty and not in their 22

    2 teams playing in the prelim tonight who beat us by a COMBINED 7 points (both away games). But no, we are MILES off (or 7 points).

    Brisbane player on the wing swung around twice in a tackle and no free kick, but then the other way around in front of goal was paid!  Hard to watch.

    These umpires are cheating. Get Brisbane into a GF clearly the objective

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
