    Any news on what has happened to Chandler    is that him sitting on the bench in the blue top finished for the day ?

    I think he just showed why he won't make it...

    He's good out on his own but no idea in any kind of traffic.

    Whole career based on 1 decision? My god

    Can’t say that I’m a big fan of Tomlinson at FB. 

    Every team will try to isolate him deep and draw May away. We need the forward pressure to stop that happening. He’s awful one on one. As is Lever.

    Mids got tired that quarter. And even more so half backs I think. Tigers work rate even when losing and in to the breeze is first class

    If you watched his career to date and this game in particular.

    He gets lost in traffic, just not good with contact.

    That contest was typical not a one off...

    ...but you believe what you will.

    Dominant in the first half of the quarter but then got pegged back similar to what Richmond done to us in the second quarter. Lever, Gawn and Petracca outstanding. Chandler was outstanding too until he unfortunately got injured.

    Marking contests are hard but that wasn’t even it, was a ball bouncing around that he just had to kill.

    He’s Toumpas with pace to get out of traffic at times.

    2nd term;

    1) We saw the good and bad of Hunt. His opponent Castagna got off leash and is probably Tigers best. But Jayden provided run and dash and his one-two with Jordan and then long kick to T.Mac saw him take us from deep defence to forward line in an instant - Tiger defenders had no chance of switching to stop it. T.Mac missed shot - unusual for him.

    2) Trac (our best quarter one) had shocking quarter with terrible disposal, Chandler and Jones running into space as small forwards impressive.

    3) Gawn resting forward when Jacko goes on ball is huge and a point of difference that is exploiting Tiger defence.  

    3rd term.

    1) Gawn's goal from outside 50m and general play excellent. Easily BOG at this stage but will be required big time to stave off Tigers who have wind this quarter.

    2) Highlights: Rivers took one kick-in and dummied, had bounce and with wind sent it the edge of our forward 50m. Oliver's goal from ball-up where he had give-go with Trac and then wobbled it home. Lowlight: Chandler off with what looked a serious wrist injury.

    3) Super team goal with Spargo handball over head, ANB deliberate handball under players leg leading to Chandler goal.

    Tough quarter coming up against the wind.

    Some excellent ruck work that quarter, Gawn and Jackson.

    Good slings off the half back from Rivers.

    I sometimes wonder about us sometimes, we get a run on, we look great, young chandler just slams home his second and I think this kid looks alright, we look alright,  then the next minute the same kid is running to the interchange holding his arm and we let Richmond boot the next 2 or 3 and im left shaking me head again

    We've got to work on holding the ball in our forward line. Leaks like a sieve. 

    Need to work on our tackling to prevent the opposition getting the ball out cleanly so often.

    Sure you were chirpy when he was jaggin goals from the boundary against the giants, but I wouldn’t want to base my opinions on him off one play ?

    Chandler is doing alright. 

    Went off injured arm. Has had 3 arm breaks. Hope he is ok.

    Back on looks ok and kicks his 3rd. Kid having a good game.

    The long bomb kick outs need a plan for what happens next. Be it keep going forward, move it wide to one side or keep numbers in tight. It looks great until it goes back the other way just as fast.

    Id like to see the tall under the high ball just punch it to one side

    Chandler seems ok for someone who's just slammed through his third.

    Out of interest... did anybody else feel Steven May probably should have gotten a free for head contact during that marking contest? 

    Commentators are too busy to look at the gameplay.

    Chandler back on and just kicked a corker of a goal near the boundary.

    He’s been the big story of the day IMO.

    74-61 but Richmond lining up for a goal.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
