Welcome to the big leagues. 

An excellent education for the young guy provided Dustbin doesn’t do too much damage

Interesting to hear comments on structure

Sounds as though they are resting Gawn/Grundy up forward rather than on the bench.

How is the Brown and the resting ruckman working out. Last season Gawn was excellent early season at protecting Brown's run for the mark

Brown all at sea - like Sampson after his haircut.

    I am unsure how much effort the Tiges are potting up at times, but our system between wing and inside F50 is looking as good as it has ever in Goodwin's time as coach.

    Nibbler, Sparrow, Harmes and Spargo are all showing serious gut running.  

    Surely the Tiges are not this rubbish?

    Our backline is epic.

    You know what I've noticed today. We aren't just bombing it in our forward line or into the pocket. We are lowering the eyes & passing it lace out to a leading forward.

    Slamming players into the turf after a mark in a practice game. Lovely Richmond 🙄

    Gawn’s goal kicking is a genuine 20/80 😂

    Honestly you never know what's going to happen when Gawn goes for goal. I just see it as a bonus when he kicks them

    How many shots between gawn and Grundy? Have to be 10 nearly

     


    Richmond are potential ‘Premiership Contenders’ according to Gerard Healy. I think he has said that at least 3 times on Foxtel during this match. What is he smoking? 🤣

    Definitely more measured with the ball movement. 

    What's with all the repeat posts?

    Good to see we have allowed Richmond to have two membership vans at our home game, at our home facility. No signage for us. But hey, none of that matters apparently 

    There’s a demon shop next to the Richmond shop?

    lines here are massive tho, lots of cash left on the table for beer and food sales 


    How was that a Gawn 3rd goal? I though spargo kicked it into the post?

    I  quite often get repeat posts in a game day thread but today is another level.

    Still when you're winning I quite like reading things 2 or 3 times

    anyone catch Van Rooyen’s game earlier? Couldn’t have been any worse than BBB so far..?

    If Fritta is out, why wouldn't they play him?

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      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.
