Players moving on the mark quite a few times, no free. 

I bet one of ours will scratch their [censored] and a free will get called. 

Umpires letting the game flow tonight,  no doubt a directive from afl, I don't mind it so long as it is consistent

    Not sure I expect much on Saturday but if we show the endeavour of the blues this early I think we will win easily after the show 4 quarters 

    I expect us to start slow then ru right over the top

    Carlton are definitely on the up, they may miss out on finals but they are going to be battling the likes of us for a spot in the eight that’s for sure.

    Disgusting deliberate decision, absolutely incompetent umpiring.

    How about the non-call after the 2 bounces from McIntosh

    It was somewhere between HTB or a trip and the ump just called play-on because he couldn't decide

    Absolutely laughable

    I didn't realise how much I missed footy!  Stoked its back.  Couldn't give a stuff about the result, just happy to watching the real stuff again.

    I've forgotten how good Cripps is.  He's just been a bull tonight busting through tackles and using it beautifully.  He's everything I want Oliver to be.

    As for Dusty, imagine the luxury of leaving him forward where he's your most dangerous player and then roll him through the guts when you need some clearances.  I still think he's the best player in the comp.  He's everything I want Trac to be.

    Players should be allowed to go backwards, I like the rule but ridiculous that they can't move backwards

    Agreed. They should be able to move backwards

    So far there has been 50m penalties or warnings for the new stand on the mark rule, inside the protected area and also starting zones. Honestly, they have made it so complicated for umpires (who still aren’t full time professionals mind you), is there really any wonder it is all applied so inconsistently? On top of all that rubbish, they need to adjudicate the actual game with holding the ball, chopping the arms, in the back, front on contact, sliding in, the list goes on. What a mess.

    Ridiculous that a player on the mark can't run directly backwards.   We've seen a Richmond player on the mark swap by running backwards and being replaced without penalty.  Was that because the umpire has not yet called stand to the first player?  If so, as long as you immediately get a bit back from the actual mark, you can run backwards because surely the umpire can't call stand if you are not on the mark.  Confused.

    Wasn't over the mark , didn't move sideways, ridiculous decision.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
