    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€¦.

    Over to you Freo ??

    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.

    Yeah, but 6-6-6 wasn't a rule when Hawks were winning flags.Ā

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

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, MelbourneĀ captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles atĀ Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckmanā€™s masterclass in the second half.Ā  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipperā€™s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, aĀ career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested),Ā nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.Ā

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0ā€“5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
