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.

[AzzKikA 2,371]

Damn was hoping for a draw so neither of these 2 won.

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

[monoccular 17,426]

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. 

[Demon Disciple 12,120]

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.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Another pathetic Richmond crowd on a perfect Friday.

[Deeoldfart 8,016]

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.

[In Harmes Way 7,767]

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.

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,702]

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.

Win tomorrow and we go 4 games and ~40% clear of Richmond.

Haven't seen you on in a while Azz or have i missed a few posts?

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 

[kev martin 9,887]

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.

Melbournelike football from Geelong....

[Jaded No More 68,906]

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?!

i believe the phrase is downhill skier....

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

[DubDee 25,848]

Chaired off for 150?

Calm down Rohan

[Gator 17,332]

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.
