Umpires’ goal for a fifty metre penalty that wasn’t there then a “mark” that bounced off the ground to Kennedy. What a joke win!!!

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

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 of the games of the year, and the earlier North V GWS game was pretty damn good as well. An excellent day’s footy.

If West Coast are to finish top 4 and go on to make a GF, I reckon they’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 then be on the verge of missing finals. Sure enough they won the game and now they find themselves in the top 4 mix.

They’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 a 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,  you could see they were spent in the last 10 mins. Still a massive threat with several stars to return. 

Oh that hurts! So glad to see the Toigs chuck that one ? especially given their next 5 games….

Over to you Freo ??

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

Talking on the radio about how hard it is to win the premiership from outside the top 8. They said it’s only been done twice. Bulldogs and Adelaide in 98. Woewodin cut them straight off “no, that doesn’t count! In the current system they would have been out in the first week” ?          

Right, time for my beauty sleep. Gonna be a big day tomorrow. Hasta mañana!

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 been  4 of 9 games against top 8 sides

I'd go as far to say it's impossible. ?


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.

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 run 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.

Very much appreciate this explanation. ?

That one still gives me the sheets.
All the Hoo Ha about how they won it from 8th or whatever.
Got lucky.
They shoulda been out.

Clearances don’t matter according to some here.

Couldn't work out why Yeo was on his own at most of the centre bounces...

Overrated according to Clarkson when they were winning flags too.

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

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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
