As much as I’d like to agree with this, Maxy isn’t afraid of a chat with the umpires from time to time. 

Loves a bit of banter.

Does it well too.

    My friend was meeting me at the game Saturday night and whilst walking some Richmond guys asked who she goes for (doesn’t go for either team so wasn’t wearing a scarf) she said Melbourne they then changed their attitude and starting saying oh you’re a Melbourne scum then. They kept going and she felt unsafe. They have no right to diss any supporter base as my family and I have had many problems with Richmond people in the past. 
    makes beating them even better 

    I read that initially as you and your friends going all super here and beating the living suitcase out of those tiger flogs.

    But I guess you mean the dees winning.....

    Had a chat with an Uber driver who did crowd security at the MCG for over 20 years. Very illuminating. Worst fans were Richmond, followed by the Kangaroos. Richmond were so bad that extra security were hired for their bigger matches. 
     

    Very difficult thing for a club to directly address though. Can’t exactly say “Hey we’ve heard our supporters are total [censored]. Can we do something about this?”

    You really should watch the replay in full bcause right now you look very silly.  Kozzy was trying to make a lead when the Richmond player round-housed him and hit kozzy in the head with his arm.  That was when kozzy retaliated.  Luckily the umpires saw the initial high contacted and awared the free kick.  During the wrestle, the tiger player was leaning on Kizzies face/head with his forearm which was got Jones wo riled up.

    Kozzy isn't a sniper at all.  The tactics of the tiger overstepped the mark and he retaliated which is fair enough. 

    The issue Goodwin had with him was the pointing at the scoreboard.

    I wondered why Jones went in hard. Thanks for the info S T. 
     

    It’s great that our team now stands up for each other.

    Interesting that Rhyan Mansell had two rough conduct charges in the Tiger's match against Port Adelaide on April 9 and was fined $6000 (2 x $3000), down to $4000 with early pleas on both.

    love that the likes of kornes are sooking about the grief that pickett was giving by saying "you're picking on a three-time premiership player, tigers have got long memories, blah blah blah"

    actually, pickett was having a crack at a three-gamer who had spent the whole game roughing him up

    The Kosi issue is such a non issue, I can't believe anyone is turning it into an issue.

    Replace Kosi with, I dunno, Dusty, and nobody even mentions it.

    Besides, you have no idea what was said. The all in melee suggests that some less than kind words were thrown at Kosi. 

    There’s no issue with Kossies actions in a nutshell 

    Wins a free for high contact off the footy

    Converts the free and as most other players do he runs toward Mansell to let him know he’s cost his side a goal

    Mansell grabs Kossie high again and a melee occurs

    Kossie isn’t arrogant as Cornes has said pointing to the scoreboard to a 2nd game player, it is only when 2 time premiership player Liam Baker becomes involved he points Baker towards the scoreboard.

    IMO no issue

    They were getting stuck into Kozzie all night behind the play. A little elbow here, a little shove there and Kozzie’s actions spoke of I’m still here mate, you can’t keep me down. 

    And what’s Bolton’s problem? Didn’t he rub an opponents head after a goal earlier in the year?

    No Dusty = No Richmond.  It's that simple.  They are a group of very good to ordinary players who have realised if they play a very consistent and disciplined brand then Dusty will drag them over the line to flags.  There's no reason he can't play for another 4-5 years and do it again, by which time I predict he'll be cemented at the GOAT.

    Dusty's 2017 year was the greatest ever by a player IMO.  In 2018 Dusty goes into the PF vs Collingwood with corkie and what happens?  In 2019 back half of the season he dragged them from 9-6 to 13-6 in four consecutive 3 Brownlow vote games to put them in the top 4 and in contention.  Geelong wins the 2020 GF if there's no Dusty.

    None of their other players  are great, their best player coming through is Shai Bolton.  Their next best are Cotchin, Prestia, Edwards, Lambert, Lynch, Riewoldt, Rance, Grimes, Houli and Vlastuin - better players in better teams have been denied flags.

    Richmond fans can take this either way - they've got the flags in the bag.

    I remember when I was younger Richmond were beating us and my family decided to leave just before the game ended and my nan was working up the stairs (maybe late 60s) and a Richmond fan pushed her hard and said go tiges right in her face. She nearly fell down the stairs and people had to say something 

    was shocked

    It was actually on line and then completely faded right. Didn't kick through the footy enough?

    it's not just his goal kicking. field kicking has dropped off a bit too

    needs a few sessions with choko to work on process. needs to get better rhythm and timing into kicking. seems to over-rush his kicking and trying to over-kick

    His goal kicking is woeful. In general our goal kicking is not the best.

    Definitely one big area where we can improve across the board.

    Much as I want him to improve his kicking he’s getting free kicks for flopping, it’s not the greatest look. That said it was fun hearing Richo sook about it, he was down the moment he realised it was our night.

    Anyone with too much time on their hands, the game day thread for the tigers is pretty funny reading.  https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/round-6-2021-richmond-vs-melbourne-mcg-7-25pm.1264478/page-8

    E.g seeing these sorts of comments when you know it's about to come crashing down for them:

    pretty sloppy start, but a nice mark from Lynch is good early

    damn, nice stuff Rioli

    Do you reckon lever still has nightmares about jacob townsend

    fu** we look sharp, zero fumbles.

    Dees [censored] themselves

    That's a poor free, nice to get one our way for once though

    Jack and tom look switched on

    we're on early

    Great start from everyone

    We have entered “raise the fight” mode

    This is QF 2017 pressure!

    Haha Lever is Richmond's batch.

    Geez we look hot

     

    Also shows how well the tigers started - and how well we did to turn it around!

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
