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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
