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.

    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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
