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.

    Conveniently missed too

    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.

    • 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.
