Result is probably not going to change much about where we are at as a team. The lack of intensity perfectly encapsulated in Brayshaw taking 17 seconds to try and dispose of the ball while deep in defence. 29 tackles to 44. It might be that we are simply an overrated team, but our lack of real fight is the bigger blight.

    As much as Brayshaw needs a rocket up his [censored], that free kick against was Blatent cheating

    Damn frustrating game to watch with the performance of the umps and our dreadful disposal.

    backs look better with Lever there but they are suffering from the same as the rest of the team because of the Tiger's pressure their disposals are off. 

    No forward line to speak of. Very dysfunctional. let's try playing an experienced forward sometimes soon.

    Mids.... so many superstars and so very little results at the center bounces. Who is our midfield coach?? 

    Work harder at the basics, bring pressure and  look to secure and keep the ball.

     

    We can win this.

    Mate they ain't superstars even if they are very good.

    Superstars always give you the goods 

    Strange game where Ed Langdon comfortably leads our tackle count!?!

     

    An absolute bin diesel of a performance. I cannot for the life of me believe we are 2 points down, we are not playing at the level required to win this football game. Richmond are still the better side tonight and we need a champion effort in the last quarter. Champion teams have 3 bad quarters then do what needs to be done to win the game.

    The challenge is set Demons, rise to it.

    Another game where we're getting beaten in contested possessions so far.

    Worst umpiring I have seen  so one way against us

    It's not just the soft ones paid to tigers, it's the myriad to us totally ignored.

    But we are still in it and seem faster than tigers now.

    Umpire #20 needs to go and get absolutely [censored]

    I have never wanted to punch a [censored] umpire so much in my life. I wish him the spiciest diarrhea. 

    Didn't he also umpire us last week? Wikipedia tells me his name is Brian Hay and he's umpired 79 games.  Don't know how to find details of previous week's umpiring but it all feels a bit familiar...

    Are people paying attention to Richmond's effort?

    Hate to say it, but Pickett isn’t playing for the team. 

    Correct.


    We need Brodie, JVR & Harry to have a big last quarters.

    Max looks knackered.

    Umpiring aside...

    I have not been up off my chair yelling at the screen since the 2021 GF, but this time it incredulous fury. It is simply not possible for a squad with this talent to make so many fundamental football errors, both in decision making AND skill. It looks like 2012/2013 /2014 team. 

    And as for those pathetic, "get-rid-of-the-ball-quickly" handballs that go 50 cms, or the loopy one over the top so 2 Richmond players can cause physical pressure or damage, can't the on-field leadership correct that?

    Something not right with May I feel. So far off his normal self. Lever rusty but better that term.

    Petty not really a forward, doesn't have the craft, and with JVR outpointed by someone bigger/stronger/more experienced, forward line is only just functioning.

    Someone needs to pull him aside and tell him he ain't Jeremy Howe.

    Lever with 1 hand casually misses the ball. Facepalm.

    • 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.
