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.

Agree. Bad signs for tigers.

Injuries are the biggest, and most underrated, factor in football. The tigers 'system' can only mitigate having so many key players our for so long.

And the tigers depth is rubbish now, with players like Ellis and Higgins having left for coin and opportunity

    Hold on a minute.

    What's with this whole "injuries are hurting Richmond" thing?

    How many best 22 players was Richmond missing when they went into last night's game? By my count, three: Astbury, Lynch and Nankervis.

    Most clubs are missing that many or more (I know we're not, but that's not the point here).

    They just stank last night. There's no excuse for kicking 2 goals in an entire match. It's abysmal.

    Perversely though, I can see this performance sparking a renewed focus from them.

    Interesting to see Samson Ryan debut for the Tigers.

    Ryan was a project raw player who is as skinny as they come but at a good height at 206cm tall. He's gotten a game based on strong VFL form and also playing intra club games thr past few weeks

    Meanwhile we have Austin Bradke who's been on our list for 3 years and shown absolutely SFA and probably close to the worst player I've seen on our list since Brendan Van Shaik.

    How do you feel about this post now, @dazzledavey36, after Ryan became the first player in four years to fail to register a single possession on debut?

    I reckon park the Austin Bradtke hate.

    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.

    This by 100.

    That was big for Fremantle's finals chances. They have Carlton and Hawthorn as their next two, which could get them to 9-7.

    But they then have a five match stretch of Geelong, Sydney, Richmond, Brisbane and West Coast.

    Even if they win Round 23 vs St Kilda, with their relatively poor percentage they're going to have to go 3-2 through that run. Only Sydney is away from Perth though.

    Point is, they are going to be going hard against Geelong, Richmond, Brisbane and West Coast, and if they're a serious contender, that can only be good news for us.

    So disappointing to lose to Pies. They were always chasing in the Freo game. Just have to put Bombers away

    The Buckley situation plus Darcy Moore I think makes them a very different side this week compared to Queen's Birthday.

    If they can win their next 2 before that 5 game stretch and get some real confidence, it’ll be good if they can upset one of Geelong, Brisbane or West Coast as I think we have the toughest run home out of the top 4 sides.

    Watching the Port game, I’m getting the feeling that we are getting a preview of what we can expect in terms of umpiring decisions the week after next… not particularly good so far.

    I can't take Port seriously. Massive choke coming up by the looks of it.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
