Not a lot  so far; probably because the game isn't until Monday.

From Various fan websites:

  • Druggos showing how to beat Melbourne is to tag Oliver…Nothing surer than Oliver running around by himself collecting 40 next week
  • Just what we need, an angry, fired up Melbourne on the rebound...
  • I'd like to think that we will also be angry and fired up after last night's insipid effort.
  • We will tag ben Brown and he'll kick 7
  • Don't worry Dees supporters. We'll play you into form next round.
  • Oliver had 41 lol…
    • Hahaha I saw that, couldn’t believe it.  Must’ve been 41 of the most useless posies eve
    • All rubbish. Threw it about 5 times too not called
  • Got to realize we are in a sneaky rebuild mode whilst bluffing our way to this year's Finals...
  • See which side Max is going and tell Miller to b-line it to the other side, no way Max keeps up with Miller.  Can't let him sit behind play, have to play him smart or physical.
  • I don't wanna see at half time they're 40 points up and Prestia, Hopper and Taranto have been smashed in clearances, whilst Oliver and Petracca have already racked up 25 possies and 5 clearances each. Put some body work on them and make them bloody earn their kicks.
  • Our backline is miles away from our best lineup but realistically their fwd's are pus. Young/ Van Rooyen is a good matchup. Grimes/ Fritch should work.
  • I’d take a Ben Brown right now as much as I hate saying that
  • whatever Dimma comes up with will need to be a master stroke.
  • We’ve never matched up well on the cheese platters in recent times.
    • In: Effort
    • Out: Turnovers
  • Our biggest issue is if Fists of Fury Lever plays. With no Lynch and our bombs inside 50, Lever will think he is at a Las Vegas buffet racking up intercept marks.
  • I will refrain on commenting on Richmond’s odds of winning this game until the umpires are named
  • Demons supporters don’t go to any games do they?
    • The corrupt AFL are yet to relocate the MCG, slab by slab, to Mt Buller. So no.
  • Honestly don’t understand why more Melbourne fans don’t follow suit of Max Gawn their captain and be Richmond supporters
  • Dees to play a bunch of players out of position. For instance Jake Melksham on the field.
    • Haha yeah I was happy with it. He'll prob have 5 touches and kick 3 goals now.
  • We were rubbish even before nankervis, lynch, Broad and Graham got injured.

Not Favourite

This made me laugh for its ignorance of Dimmer being a thug: 

  • No probs with playing on the edge but Dimma never condoned poor discipline

This made me angry:

  • tell Miller to sit in behind Max all game and jump into his back as often as he can.

Fists of Fury Lever! I like it too, well done Punt Rd!

I mean.. they're not wrong with majority of this lol.

"Oliver threw it 5 times not called"

Even if he does get a few flicks each game it's negated by the 5 holds on him that don't get called.

Richmond fan website.

 

I'd be interested to know what position they would play Melksham. Any chance of making an account and asking? 😛

The targeting of Max Gawn's back/head is never going to stop until the club goes to the AFL with video evidence and demands a response from the league and the umpires.

When Gawn starts getting soft frees every time someone touches him, then clubs will stop targeting him illegally. But while they can get away with it, they'll keep doing it because he is such a brilliant and important player.

Once again, thanks for trawling through the muck to bring us this. 💕

I’ll be fraternising with about 20 Toiges tonight. Because it’s a shared banner, they’re coming to ours to join in the making of it. I’m wondering if any of them made any of the comments you’ve listed. Maybe I’ll climb to the top of the giant ladder and yell out, “I sure hope FISTS OF FURY LEVER is playing this Monday!” Then I’ll look for someone flinching. 😄

Makes more sense, 'the field' is his wrong position. Very typical Tiges fan comment.

I read as being on the field (regardless of position ) was considered out of position. Pretty consistent with most of DLs views tbh.

 

edit: ok I see we eventually came to the same conclusion:)

Back in the day...... when dogs would target your team mate you simply waited for the next opportunity to run through the maggot  ( oppo player and not the white varietal lol ). As you lent down to offer him assistance up... you'd whisper sweetly for his edification ;) .. " next time you're not getting up "

Sort of miss those days...  Umpiring is useless. They must see it...do nothing.

And then wonder about the lack of respect given.  I don't.   2 way street...  Earn the respect of the players... not demand it...  that's the weak way.

This day and age..    it does need to be brought to the attention of those that oversee. The Club has a duty of care...

Also...just needs to get angrier towards the inept custodianship of the game.

Time to remind the league ....it's  OUR game you're messing with. Don't trash it.

Right....

Do you even know what I was referring too? Or have you gone way too early on this again.

Read some of their comments again. Example A:

  • Just what we need, an angry, fired up Melbourne on the rebound..

We usually rebound well after a bad loss. Are they wrong here?

  • See which side Max is going and tell Miller to b-line it to the other side, no way Max keeps up with Miller.  Can't let him sit behind play, have to play him smart or physical.

Again, they're not wrong once again.. their ruckman will need all the luck they get trying to combat Max and Brodie.

  • Our backline is miles away from our best lineup but realistically their fwd's are pus. Young/ Van Rooyen is a good matchup. Grimes/ Fritch should work.

Yep, pretty much agree with them once again. Their backline is a shambles.

I'm happy to keep pointing them out for you?

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
