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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
