After seeing Geelong’s defence I reckon they could do worse than adding OMac. 

Straight swap with Dangerfield ? ? seems fair.

    Big statement to make but is Dusty close to being the GOAT ? A big reason why we crown Jordan the GOAT is because of how good he was when it mattered most. 3 Norm Smiths in the space of 4 years is absolutely ridiculous.

    That fateful day when we were trying to lose and Richmond were desperate to win says it all. Ten years later we are still irrelevant and they have won 3 flags in four years and another beckons. We will struggle to make 8th.

    Yes all true, but what if we had taken say the mercenary and Dusty as our picks. Would the Tigers have won 3 flags without Dusty, maybe not. I was just illustrating the point that a small decision can change so much. I am not suggesting that having Dusty would have got us success, but rather affected Richmond’s chances of it. Anyway it is what it is.

    Hawks, Tigers, Cats great examples of strong management and planning........MFC is a 50 year example of mismanagement  and ineptitude

    No doubt it’s a difficult game to adjudicate however disagree with it being one of the hardest jobs in the world.

    Dusty has three Normy's. Barassi would have had five if they existed in his day.

    Completely relate JD . . . although my emptiness is driven by the realisation, almost every year, that we are miles away from the standard required to win premierships. 

    Nah QD. One more good preseason and the rest of the comp better watch out ?

    Umpiring is difficult because the rules keep changing.

    Firies, health workers, police and defence forces all have it much tougher though

    Also the fact its a 360 degree game where you have to run around 15km and are consistently abused. Without umpires there is no game, they deserve to be recognised

    Was almost a replica of last year’s prelim between these two. Cats dominated the first half again and should have been further in front at the main break. Some unforced errors by the Cats early in the third quarter enabled Richmond to catch up quickly and proved costly.

    I enjoyed the contest and made better by a decent crowd. Those lucky enough to attend were treated by one Dusty Martin. What a champion!

    Dangerfield is the most protected player in the comp. 

    Ever since he got cleaned up and out-played by our own Bernie Vince!

    grrrrrrrrrr

    Kayo doesn't have any rights even to show the 7 stream today and I can't get the 7plus stream working

    Luckily I can live without seeing this one

    This is a f8cking disgrace, this hasn't been conveyed to subscribers at all. Looks like it's the same situation for the NRL grand final today.

    yeah, unfortunately it's well known - hence why all foxtel / kayo advertising is about having 'every game of every round of the home and away season' - they've never had the rights to telecast the grand final for either as it's a ch 7 or ch 9 exclusive

    i had to resort to 7+ to stream the grand final - it was on about a 2-3 minute delay and in sd

    Thanks for clarifying that, I thought I'd watched it on Kayo last year but obviously not.

    yeah it sucks

    In the 21st century sports demand big fees and the only way they can be recovered is to charge subscribers, you get what you pay for pure and simple. I don’t like the system but that is the rules. Why a night GF? A few more points on the ratings chart for broadcasters all the other stated reasons are crap. On that subject I could see nothing about the night GF that was better than day time. Perhaps it is just habit but having to wait all day just seemed to dull the enjoyment when it finally started. But you can bet today or tomorrow the AFL will be gushing about it. I will be surprised if the day GF happens again. It is just one of many things that I don’t like about where sport has landed. Yes I am old and won’t be around much longer But to me not all change is for the better.

    Also, [censored] Richmond. Most annoying team in the league. Hate them more than any other and seeing them win again leaves me with a foul taste in my mouth.

    Thank goodness that someone said it. I hate richmond so much more than any other team in the league.

    add to that all of my richmond mates drunk texting me last night ffs. 

    I long for the days of the 2010's when Richmond were pure dog poo.

    Yes that is the point that i shall never forgive

    The MFC is so good at outsmarting itself

    We are still so far away from getting it right. Although i have some faith in Pert, to do the job

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
