Tigers rolling the clock back to the late 1980's is a lovely sight. More please.

    No dusty magic tonight. All round horror show from the Tiges. Given their percentage they need to win all their games from here to get Top 4. Can't see it happening. Hoping they disintegrate from here.

    All Richmond have to do is lose to one of Geelong, Brisbane or GWS up there and they’ll miss top 4.

    No side in the 18 club era has made top 4 with 14 wins.

    Richmond look like a tired side. It happens to all sides who have been up and about. So Richmond it is now time to say to thanks for the memories but you can now go and get stuffed. You owe us 54 years rent for denigrating the MCG as your home ground so pay up or pizz of to Punt Road.

    Only one team since 2012 (18 clubs era) has finished in the top 6 with a 13-9 record.

    Therefore, assuming Richmond finish the season 6-2 on the run home (and that’s being generous), I have them finishing 7th and a fair chance of travelling to Port or West Coast in week 1 where they’ve struggled of late.

    I’ll wager the kids and the cats that Richmond won’t win the flag this year.

    Sounds like Balta has done his ACL which won’t help their cause. Poor guy.

    Gee it is bit depressing that even stkilda can thrash a team & dominate & a good team at that. 

    I just want us to thrash a team

    I'll take being on top of the ladder, thanks.

    St Kilda won't be playing finals and more than halfway through the season, we're in the hunt for the minor premiership.

    Another thing, all those Demonlanders that bang on about our midfielders' ball use, Dusty Martin is a very 50-50 kick. He can kick it beautifully, but he's never been consistent at it.

    Just remember though, without Martin's heroics, there'd be no Tigers flags at all. They've also had a dream run with injuries. Didn't have a single injury to a key player in 2017 and that'll take you places.

    Makes Chandler and Weid’s recent DT points look quite impressive.

    Gee the arrogance to play Ryan, no. 32 

    Hardwick just thinks he can create footballers out of thin air. His first contest was too physical for the poor bloke. He's barely VFL standard.

    And Dusty just doesn't think he needs to chase anymore. One way runner and barely that. Certainly not in my AA team. Trac and Bont and even Toby Green have gone straight past him. With respect to his three premiership medals and Norm Smiths and B&F's etc but in 2021 he's dropped right off.

    I think they might finish 9th at best.

    I’d prefer Austin Bradke.

    Young Austin jagged an impressive 22 DT points in his last Casey start. 2 more than Ben Brown in that game.

    Tigers were atrocious last night. Cotchin took some angry pills with cheap shots all over the field, Pickett was trying to take mark of the year in the backline knocking over his teammates in the process, Balta before his injury was trying to play dry weather football and Dusty looked like he wanted to be on a bean bag in front of the fire.

    The Saints were just ok, nothing special but the Richmond performance stunk of arrogance.

    WOW. In 55% time on ground - 1 hitout and 1 free kick against.

    I hope he gets a call from Kade Simpson to cheer him up.

    Must agree... Saints rarely had clean possession but they managed to kick some goals.

    Makes you wonder about the surface. Have not seen so many unpressured fumbles for a while

    You can rule a line through the Tigers for the season. On his post match coaches interview Dimma saying that injuries to crucial players have impacted the team. Actually he said he didn’t want to blame injuries but ….. If players believe the coach thinks they can’t win without certain team mates on the ground then they are knackered. It is why you don’t hear coaches blaming injuries 

  • Quote

    Saints play Cats,  Swans,  Lions,  Eagles and Port in run home. 

    I reckon they will do us a few more favours in our bid for top 2 this year. They are a better team than what they've displayed so far so hopefully we see more of last night's effort moving forward!

    No excuses for the Dees in 2019 though...:mahoney2:

    Bianco for Collingwood is being talked up a bit but I think he comes across as a little dull, plain white if you will.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
