    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

    Or the other way around...

    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!

    • WHATā€™S NEXT? by The Oracle

      Whatā€™s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facingĀ Ā intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, itā€™s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.Ā

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourneā€™sĀ 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.
