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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
