Who’s idea was it to have a 4 gamer lead our forward line tonight on the big stage?

    We'll win this. Tiges and umps have played their trump cards now we run over the top of them

    Would have to say as much as i love Sparrow on tonight's first half we def need Harmes to come straight in for him.

    Sparrow would need to have some second half to justify his place in this team from here.

    Does anybody notice how, just like last year, every team we play against knows they have a chance of winning if they just work hard. We were average against the WAFL Eagles, destroyed by the bombers and getting shown up again today.

    Still confident that we will get up and win this game but by hell these umpires are absolutely terrible

    This is an insipid performance. We have a lot of defensive structure problems with and without the ball. 

    Right now we are not a top 8 side. Something stinks about this side atm.

    Our tall forward stocks are in tatters. We have a few promising kids for the future, but for the now while we’re in our premiership window, it’s dire.

    BBrown body is cooked.

    Tmac body is cooked.

    JVR is not ready.

    Schache is a depth player.

    Jefferson isn’t ready.

    Petty isn’t a forward.

    If we don't lift our tackling and chasing effort considerably in the second half we're done for. Too many players are playing bruise free footy, looking to smother and corral instead of tackling.

    KOZZY - please give us the magic in the 2nd half 

    JVR -deer in headlights. But BBB and TMCD also very uninspiring.  Schache not quite tough enough but probably gets a shot soon.

    JVR is being out-bodied too easily. Needs to get on his bike and move Balta around.. 

    I’m not sure sitting the ball on a 19 year old kids head is setting him up for success.

    We've gone back to kicking and hoping

    Even if we get up and win from here, we’ve got some serious issues on every line now basically. Our midfield contest work needs to be fixed asap. It’s our one wood, so we need to stop losing it there as a starting point!

    Yep..  BBb (assuming fully fit) wouldve been been a slight step up &  target/option.

    JVR needs to do some more work at Casey for a while

    I know he’s young and inexperienced and a lot on here love him, but JVR has shown nothing. 

    How can you expect him to show anything when his forward partner in crime is a CHB.

    Another game where selection was woeful. Should have brought in the natural forward target in Schache as the extra tall target.

    JVR is playing on Richmond's best Defender.

    This is on Goody.

    It's a worry. Maybe Tomlinson?

    Deck chairs on the Titanic. 

    But I'm glad Tmac was dropped.

    Richmond average 75 points a game and have 52 to half time.

    Ok the van Rooyen experiment is over

    Granted he has been slow and clumsy so far tonight but he's still a youngster on a steep learning curve. Hasn't worked out yet how to time a run to provide a lead or find space like Fritsch does. Far too early to just write him off.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
