    Richmond look cooked. No power in the legs. Their younger players are all plodders. Cotchin is finished. Dusty not far behind. 
     

    Carlton look good. They looked good against us in the practice game too. Strong midfield and potent attack. Decent backline. Voss is using the “selfless” mantra this year and they are playing a similar style to us. Will cause some damage to the 8.

    Always rated Vossy as a coach.  he was sacked to quickly thinking they could find a better option.

    Finally clubs are realising experienced coaches are a good option, not just untried.  

    I am happy for Carlton now, if they get good, it won;t last long

    Only heard it from Caro, safe to say she is a little biased

    Voss make the rookie mistake with his club at birdie thinking they 1 last run at it and topped up.  

    He's a good coach and will be much better this timed we'll see consistent improvement in the blues this year.  They should make th e8 if they can sustain it..

    Tigers, looking older and not able tout that pressure on for 4 qtrs.  need an injection of younger players to run out games.

    Have to say I have been scratching my head over the predictions that the Tiges were going to bounce this season. I just could not work out where that was coming from. after watching a bit of that game I just cannot see them making the 8. Too old....Too slow.... To predictable.

    I was going to refer to a Dead Cat Bounce but might save that for the [censored].....

    Blues are looing to improve and on that showing have gained on the field, will need to step up a few more to really challenge..... a couple more seasons for them to hit their straps.

    I predicted Carlton to be the big improver. Top 4 in fact. Richmond are finished I'm like many bewildered at why Richmond was supposed to improve.

    Followed the game on delay and via 'land only ... excellent work peoples and highly amusing

    I remember a time not so long ago when we weren't much chop and therefore the other games were often rarely commented on

    But now that we're the Reigning Premiers (with a terrific win to start the season) the mood is way different.  We're looking for the challengers instead of vice-versa

    [censored] me, I thought Carlton were a chance and tied them into a decent multi.

    Early signs suggest they are [censored].

    Let’s see how Carlton go when they aren’t gifted 4 goals every week from the umpires.

    But maybe they will (except when they play Footscray of course)

    Only 72,000 at the "traditional season opener"? Will there be head shaking over this crowd size, too?

    Tigers' fuel last year was belief and they nearly made the 8 based on that. Doubts must have set in now. How many losses before the belief evaporates and they plunge down the ladder?

    I know it’s extremely early days but we host Carlton in round 22.

    Ding-dong battle between Oscar and Tom in the vein of Carey/Jakovich, Lockett/Silvagni, Flower/Greig or Hart/Knights. Should crack 90,000.

    .I marginally wanted Richmond to win but not by much. If they deep sixed Carlton, we never would have heard the end of talk about how ‘OMG! Richmond are back!!!’

    Please excuse my ignorance, but what does this mean, to ‘deep six’ a team?

    Seeing Hardwicks reaction to the loss in the coaches box after the game said it all for me, he looked at a loss and a bit of resignation that they might have stuffed this all up.... I loved it!!!!

    Morning cup of tea and Richmond BigFooty page after a loss.  Two of my favourite things.

    • 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?
