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!

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
