    Not a bad weekend of football. Even the rubbish games at least went to the wire. Gee Damien Hardwick is insufferable.Ā

    West Coast are unfit. Watch Nic Nat blow up at some point in the second half. Richmond will run over the top of them and win by a few goals

    Clearly one ofĀ the games of the year, and the earlier North V GWS game was pretty damn good as well. An excellent dayā€™s footy.

    If West Coast are to finish top 4 and go on to make a GF, I reckon theyā€™ll look back at the Carlton win last week more so than tonight. They were not really supposed to beat Carlton with all their outs and thenĀ be on theĀ verge of missing finals. Sure enough they won the game and now they find themselves in the top 4 mix.

    Theyā€™re a dangerous side with Kelly, Shuey and McGovern to return.

    Richmond only have to play 2 other top 8 sides for the rest of the season. So good result. How did last years premiers get such an easy run home?

    BT calling the Tigers across the line and talking up their second halves of seasons......

    They are getting awfully close to that 9th spot

    Clutch from West Coast, but "the Tigers of old..." what aĀ crumble. Yeo is a superstar. Did he win the last 10 clearances? Insane last quarter.

    Just keep in mind they've flown across the Nullabour 4 times in 7-8 days,Ā  you could see they were spent in the last 10 mins. Still a massive threat with several stars to return.Ā

    Oh that hurts! So glad to see the Toigs chuck that oneĀ ? especially given their next 5 gamesā€¦.

    Good game but a little bit open style of play. The cokers are a different set of numbers at home.Ā

    Talking on the radio about how hard it is to win the premiership from outside the top 8. TheyĀ said itā€™s only been done twice. Bulldogs and Adelaide in 98. Woewodin cut them straight off ā€œno, that doesnā€™t count! In the current system they would have been out in the first weekā€ ?Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā Ā

    To be fair, 2 of the bottom 8 sides they are playing in their next 9 games were finals teams from last year. When the draws were created it would have beenĀ  4 of 9 games against top 8 sides

    That was the better result for us. The more losses Richmond cop, the better. They have the easier run home compared to West Coast so it's better they stay a notch down.

    COVID aside, 6 of their last 9 games are at the MCG and the three road trips are GC, Fremantle and GWS.Ā

    stop worrying about Richmond

    unless Dusty has a blinder they are 50/50 against the top ten teams

    Brisbane are on the way up and if you want to win this year is it

    Well they've now played all other top 8 sides for a 1-6 record. They haven't played 9th (Fremantle) and fell over the line against 10th (GWS).

    So they're 2-6 against the top 10.

    Their other wins? 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 17th.

    It's not about the runĀ home, it's about the double-up matches.

    Richmond's five double-up matches are St Kilda, Brisbane, Geelong, GWS and Hawthorn.

    So that's a 2020 GF runner up, prelim finalist and semi finalist, alongside a side many expected to bounce back (GWS) and Hawthorn.

    Lucky for them St Kilda fell to pieces and GWS remained mediocre.

    So yes, they only have two other top 8 sides left for the year, but they've played all 7 of us already. Compare that with West Coast or Sydney, who've only had 4 games against top 8 sides so far this year.

    Eagles definitely lacking in the last 40 seconds defensive drills.

    I suppose they had the two guys back on the goal line but once it was in the Eagle's forward line it should have remained in their half.

    Not impossible. Carltank had the chance to do it in 2013!

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sundayā€™s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when itā€™s over.Ā  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competitionā€™s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fieryĀ interaction between Max Gawn and Steven MayĀ at the end of the gameĀ was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourneā€™s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on Kingā€™s Birthday.
