Still worried about how we handle ground balls in our back half.. we just cannot stop the opposition. 
Wins wallpaper cracks.

This is why we miss Salem so much. Lever is like a baby giraffe as soon as the ball hits the ground.

    How appropriate for Jack to get the medal. He goes to war every week.

    Some players will die for their club - Jack Viney would gladly kill for it.

    Take the points, don’t talk about the game again.

    exceptfor the rooter! And May needs to respect his opponents cos he got beaten badly.

    If he's not injured, is he a risk to be omitted? Maybe Turner for May, Petty back home to D50

    Despite the umps, and ourselves for 2.5 quarters, we have come away with a good gritty win against a hard-working tigers outfit who came to win. We still have a long way to go, but these are important steps forward!

    Kade Chandler stepped up in that third quarter when we needed a spark, great endeavour and fight to get us back into it. 

    Our intercept game started to come back in that second half too, our defensive structure certainly looked a lot better closing out the game (which i think is drastically aided by Max's inclusion).

    The frustrating thing is he is a class player, but it was like he knew Leaver was back so tried to play loose. Prob wouldn’t drop him yet but he deserves a talking too.

    This time of year you don't want to be playing great footy, just collect as many 4 points as you can. Great football comes later.

    Yep, just bank as many wins as you can early on. Worry about hitting peak performance at the business end of the year.

    Up shot is that we have lots to improve on and we’re 4-2.

    That was what we were doing last year and that didn’t turn out well.

    May all your dreams come true.

    If anyone wants to clip this magic moment and let us all lip-read her epic 'thank you', it is just after 3:38:00 on the Kayo broadcast.

    Seriously, I nominate it for video of the week.

    I think they think they have the competition covered, have gears, turn it on and off when they feel like it. Bart Cummings preparation, can’t win the Cup in August, peak on Melbourne Cup day.

    Slow start but found a way. Viney a champion. Roo has arrived. Immense mark and conversion early in the last. Broke the tiges right there.

    richmond supporters are feral and so hard to listen to. Second only to pies in the nuffie stakes. Delighted we beat them.

    Max and Lever 18 marks.

    Makes a difference. 

    Jvr turns it on at the right time.

    Umps go and get...

    I think the umpires were so bad attempting to maintain an interesting contest ad nauseum, that they came out onto the ground 'gone' and 'got' in the first place.

    It seems to me that in the last quarter, we finally started to remember how we can play – far better pressure, tackles that stuck, gang tackling, making Richmond fumble. Now we have to remember that and repeat.

    Now, what do we do about our poor contested ball intensity, and our horrid ground ball skills in our defensive 50? The Tigers ripped us apart in these 2 areas tonight. If Dusty kicked straight we probably lost. 

    A major and persisting issue - terrible handballing. Inaccurate, wrong choice, to a player under pressure, high loopy blind dangerous ones, players having to stop running to take them. Poor in every way. 

    And although only 20 touches, I hope we don't drop Jordon again. Some of his off-ball work, tackling, and defensive running tonight was so, so good.

    • 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.
