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.

    I see Daniher got a fine for his dive. Good. 

    2 great games this arvo. Wow cannot choose which one to watch. Nth v GC or pies V freo. Hope freo kock off the pies and get closer to the 8 to knock out the tigs and get above essendon. 

    I wonder how many fans will be at marvel today? 

    At least Port v Sydney should be good.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
