Good to hear we’ve got the brains-trust commentating tonight. Richmond kick their first goal: Hamish, “And the Saints get their first.” When Luke Darcy comes across as the smartest in the room… you’re in trouble. 

You look like you've lost weight.

    Bedford 7 tackles. Those tackles would be handy in our forward half.

    No wonder the club was [censored] off losing him.

    Toby still the No.1 tackler inside 50 averaging 2.50 tackles per match

    Kozzy nipping at his heals in 2nd on 2.36

    It's great to see WCW. I've always seen run throughs from a creative perspective and lament the modern day version. It's not my place to be giving our current gang ideas but if I were to offer one piece of advice it would be when using a printed picture to cut around the outline of the player and place that directly on the backing. Unless the background of the picture matches perfectly with the colour of the backing. It needs to look seamless. Also, it needs to be balanced evenly between top, bottom and side as well as the lettering on the opposite side. 

    Not easily done, Rab. Images are “optically centred” meaning more space at the bottom than at the top.

    Also we have to be mindful of the top of the banner sagging forward or backwards at the top (Buddy was decapitated on his milestone banner last week because they stuck him on too close to the top).

    Another thing to consider is that the middle of the bottom of the banner must have minimal tape since that’s where the players run through.

    Also, we have to include several flaps (we cut out three sides of a 12 x 12inch-ish square every few feet) lest the banner turns into a 17th century sailing boat. 😬 These flaps have to be taken into account in terms of letter placement.

    The front lettering lining up with the back lettering can’t usually happen, different number of lines, wind flaps etc.

     I understand what you mean about cutting the outline of the player, but that can’t happen with a montage, and that’s what the Club likes to have.

    At some stage in the not to distant future .... the banner will be a 3D hologram.

    The players will break the plain in a smokey haze

    If that half time score of Richmond 10.7.67 to St Kilda 8.2.50 looks familiar, it’s exactly the same as Melbourne’s lead over Collingwood in Round 21 last year. The Pies got up in that game.

    Hashtag random. 😂

    You remember this score info, or you looked it up?

    Tigers fans booing every blatantly obvious free kick against them. 

    maybe boo your team for fouling?

    Yep. Remember the complexities only too well. Pity you have to defer to the club. It used to be our way or the highway 😂

    Collingwood and Essendon seem to have the highest % of scumbag fans whilst Richmond's just tend to be missing a chromosome.

    I hope Richmond continue this form into next week. Then lose every game 'til the end of the season.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • POSTGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
