Well

They certainly don't like the umpires and the coach aka Mini is on the nose (mention of not having a plan B....where have we heard that before)

Yeah, I though all our HTB frees were hilarious.
Icing on the cake in the goal square 😂

 

This post is quite reasoned but has that touch of despair that we MFC fans know so well....

I can't take the blatant cheating, it's too much.

It was terrible coaching and team selection.

How JR8 can continue to play is beyond me, he is offering nothing.
Why wasn't Cumberland selected after kicking 6 last week? We are screaming out for goal kickers and he is not there.
Banks made too many errors, we need to give Hugo a run of games.
Pickett needs to go back to the wing, Ross on the other wing and I would play KMac as a forward he would be 1000x better than Jack.

Cotch can retire himself now he has been average

It's season over, I can't see us winning many games from here on.

Nothing tastes sweeter than the salty tears of arrogant Richmond/Geelong/Pies/Carlton fans 

 

I reckon the Tigers played out of their skins today. Martin was the best he’s looked for years. Shai is a gun and his speed from contest killed us.

I’d be ok with that I saw from them today as a supporter. They tried to win. I like that attitude.

Agree entirely.  It was a great game to see live.

I reckon we’ve seen 3 absolute crackers at the G the last 3 weeks. It’s been a brilliant reminder of how good that stadium is for live sport.

I've already had a whole day of hearing what they are saying at Punt Road. They can get stuffed, not giving them any more air time. 

GAWD!  I just scrolled through about 10 pages of the toiges on big footy.  Apparently the umpires are cheats and are responsible for the loss.  THey are also responsible for the ;stand’ rule that means the tigers can;t win (what, they cannot understand the idea of ‘standing?)

Hilarious.  I had a bit of a sick up into my mouth and needed mouthwash and a good hand sanitiser after that.  Suck it, toiges!  Too old, too slow, not good enough!

 

I thought it was one of the best umpired games in a long time.

I thought the opposite but it may be that my sarcasm monitor is down.

How it is possible that we had only two frees to half time in a game played with finals-like intensity and crushing physical pressure, yet in the final term the umpires decides to start paying failure to dispose - think Kossie's goal square tackle?

The umpiring was schizophrenic: Tiges 8 to our 2 early in the third quarter and at the end it was Tiges 9 to our eleven!

Im with this. I thought they were fair and largely stayed out of it. The exception was the centre bouncing which was disastrous and directly cost us a goal in one instance, and before halftime (it changed after the break) they were curiously reluctant to recall the bounce.

Lions was the best finish I’ve witnessed, crows game was a heart stopper and yesterday see sawed for 3 quarters. A regulation would against north this weekend would be a nice break for my heart.

I was surrounded by tiges fans at the game. Most were ok but there was a group right behind me that mouthed off the whole game. Complete numpties. 

Any more talk about "shemans" in the Tigers' post match thread?

Re umpiring ... Hunter kicking out after a point. He ran 30 metres without bouncing the ball ... lol!!! Tigers supporters round me were (justifiably) going spare.

The HTB call in the goal square was harsh as well. I wouldn’t have been happy if a call like that went against us

Broad putting his arm up to block Kosi didn’t help his cause. But I agree, very harsh call.

Lol, I was waiting for the umpire to blow it but hunter ran further than a BBB set shot run up

It's a steep price, but he finded off and flopped to the ground and then held the ball in. Kossie earned the free from his pressure.

I reckon a condition of entry to an AFL match should be to undertake a quiz re holding the ball rule. The Richmond supporters would literally call "Ball!" every time one of our players were tackled.

Na he puts his arm up and flops before there was any contact. 100% should be punished.

Yes the outrage is more about where the free was paid  - in the goal square-  when really that should be irrelevant. If its there , its there.  Nate Jones I'm looking at you. 

Salem was hit high in front of us earlier but didn't receive a free as he shrugged his shoulder into it - play on.  Fair call.

Objective tiges fans with us were conerned that the fighting spirit still with the team might mean Mini gets the gig under emotion . They want a change and don't see him as senior material.

Statistically the umpiring was very unusual. It was 8 free kicks to 2 Richmond’s way in the third quarter, and then we got 9 frees in a row over the next quarter.

I thought it was over umpired in the last quarter. In the first half it seemed the umps stayed out of it.

I forgot about them. They’re that irrelevant. Been crying for 20 years about how they were hard done by when they took illegal drugs and got busted. So sad.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • 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.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
