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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
