A few commentators were predicting a Richmond resurgence this year , Why?

    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

    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

    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!!!!

    verb

    1. destroy or dispose of (something) irretrievably.
      "someone had deliberately deep-sixed evidence"
     

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

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
