Dees have now beaten no one again because we beat Geelong when Cameron and Higgins were out and we beat Richmond who are clearly incapable of a full game of Tiger pressure anymore.

I honestly don't think we've played our best footy yet.

We're unbeaten but still a way's off sorting our best combination.

...not a bad position to be in.

    Useless Bulldogs really let Richmond off the hook. Could’ve put some serious ladder pressure on them. 

    The Western Bulldogs couldn't beat the Tigers but Melbourne and Geelong could. Probably doesn't say a great deal of positive things about their finals footy brand.

    Wayne Carey says don’t worry about the Tiges, this is just a “blemish.” A 10-goal pantsing is a “blemish.” LOL

    Reiwoldt 2 kicks, Lynch 3

    Look very soft / vulnerable

    Haha. I don’t think so. Richmond haven’t looked this bad for a number of years.

    Tigers starting to have the stench of thinking that they can just turn it on whenever they need to. I suppose that type of arrogance only comes from sustained success, however their hunger is clearly missing and when that goes, it ain’t as easy as simply flicking a switch.

    Tigers time at the top is over. Only hope that I can one day say the same thing with the Dees.

    Geelong went to school on Melbourne's win over Richmond, and proved that the strategy works.  Numbers / pressure around the contest, and fast ball movement.

    The pressure would really be ratcheting up on the Tigers if it wasn’t for 1 good quarter against the Dogs

    Lynch looks like that kid who's always yelling 'kick it to me'. Can't go hard, appeals to the umpires, spent his junior footy years relying on his freak show height and has got nothing else.

    I called it when the Tiges played us, it is over for the tiges their midfield isn't what it was and their defence is extremely overrated.

    Revolt is past it and Lynch is just lazy.

    Great performance in the second half from the Cats. Feels good that we beat both these sides!

    The case for 3 talls in the forward line.

     Cameron 5

    Rohan 5

     Hawkins 2 

    Rohan is the same height as Fritsch.

    Richmond just have that whiff about them of only going hard when they have a point to prove. It’s the downside to sustained success.

    Interesting point…

    Reiwoldt was nowhere!!

    Lynch was beautifully uncoordinated

    Richmond had fumbles, couldn't hold a forward area mark, couldn't score on Geelongs turnovers and had passengers. 

    Geelong forced errors onto the tiges and wanted it more.

    No roar from the tiges in the third, they got rolled.

    Counter attack footy doesn't work. Possession of the football in the forward area takes pressure of the backline.

    Ruck craft killed the undersized man.

    I kinda like seeing the Tigers drop back down to earth, but must Geelong continue to just not go away? 
    I cannot stand that club. When will they just die of old age already?!

    Not sure a player who has won multiple finals off his own boot can be described as a downhill skier.

    Geelong's second half was the best football I've seen this year.  Having not been a fan of theirs for years I was genuinely surprised.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
