Nathan Buckley’s trying to argue that Richmond have forced this scenario. He’s completely ignoring our inaccuracy. That’s the game right there. Appalling commentary from someone who should know better. 

Probably shows in the big picture why he doesn't have a coaching job

    Fritta needs to get on his bike. Vloustin is his opponent and is destroying him and us. 

    Fritsch doesn’t really know how to play as a defensive forward. He needs to improve his intensity at the contest.

    Gone to sleep here .. putrid effort 

    What a  load of crap. We are 3 points down despite kicking 3.12.  Yes, our goal kicking is putrid but on the balance of play we're a 6-goal better team. Message at half-time is keep playing the way we are but just choose better options in the Forward 50 and kick straight! I'd be amazed if Richmond can keep this tackling pressure up but if they can they probably deserve to win 😞

    I’m done with Weid. Move his [censored] to the dead pocket and tell him to play up and down that flank only.

    Park BBB in the square and have the smalls rove off him

    Agree on Weidman , we actually need BBB leading further up the ground

    Spargo, Kozzie, ANB, Sparrow nail their relatively easy shots and it’s game over. We’ve kept them in the game simple as that.

    Richmond kicked 3-1 that quarter for 8 entries, we kicked 1-6 for 17 entries

    We kicked 3 goals from 32 inside 50s.

    Tracca and Jackson and Kozzie  and Fritta might want to get involved the next half.

    When it comes to games like this, pressure games, proper pressure. We learn a lot about our players. Good that you mentioned Kozzie. Anyone who bags Kozzie for whatever reasons needs to watch this first half. I loved Kozzie before tonight and I’m sure we all do, but wow, really impressed by him tonight. Has he had limited opportunities? Absolutely, so that’s why the casual observer, and probably limited knowledge of football supporter, would deem Kozzie to be having a quiet game. But the kid has been willing, and mostly important, has shown great intent. 

    I will give you some beyond sh*t players for tonight. Petracca, Neal Bullen, Luke Jackson. Probably more, I assume McDonald ain’t out there.

    Translation please.

    Gus gave Jacko a spray for his poor defensive running. He lost Reiwoldt and let him mark uncontested.

    On Weid’s 1st half , Tommy McDonald back in next week. Weid has to lift and take a contested mark.

    There's been a few turnovers downfield just because of his hussle

    Been performing quite poorly all year.


    We are blazing away, just kicking long to any old contest and expecting to kick goals. And we aren't. 
    Time to go smaller up forward and get Fritta and BBB room to lead. Play Weid higher up the ground and max or dogga to stay out.

    Aside from some sloppy play through the ground, a few guys being really quiet and some strange disposal choices, we should be in front by a few goals at least. Goals win games and I'll back us in to turn it around in the second half. There's no way we can keep missing, right? RIGHT!!?

    Anyway.

    We'll pile on 12 to 3 from here and Bowey will get to sing again.

    We do not need to do anything but put that foot all through the big sticks. We are beating them in nearly every stat  we need to be more clinical, lead to the right spots and kick through the footy.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
