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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
