How many times are Richmond going to get away with holding the man every time we go inside forward 50 ?

So Kozzie wins teh first clearance and has barely been back in there.

Get him in there more.

Funny how if you touch a guy off the ball it's [censored] city. But you can jump in to anyone and take them out


 

Still a bit unclear on why Marlion Pickett is allowed to play matches right now. Will be very strange if he’s found guilty. 


Kosi has to play more in the middle. Richmond are cutting us up with pace. No Sparrow or Oliver is really hurting. 

Poor defensive work all over the ground.

As many as they do is the answer.

Harmes just killing us. Hasn’t had an effective disposal and missed two sitters. Surely this is his last game

Kozzie and Viney seemed very quiet that quarter. Pickett and Petracca needs to play more in the middle with Oliver and Sparrow out


Need Kozzie in the middle 

Melksham struggles to play constantly good. Chandler seems the same 

Max lifted the last five minutes and it makes a huge difference. He's such a barometer.

 

Everything coming off for Richmond, don't know how long that can last 

Tigers scoring 1/2 entries …. It is not sustainable - expect that to dry up.

Also need a sweeper behind the ball at stoppage. 


A wide fast shootout against the Tigers is not the way to win. 
We have to get on top in the contested possessions or we won’t win this. If we keep the game this open they’ll keep cutting us up. 
I understand we want to play more attacking, but when it’s not working it’s not working. We know we can win a slog so make it a slog.

Why, thought you are innocent until proven guilty.

No composure. 
we have none. So many dump kicks, hurried handballs. We need to compose ourselves. 
 

When we have a clean centre bounce we need to keep the ball lower. So many long bombs.

Need much more from Salem, JJ, Chandler all three need to get more involved. Hunter and Langdon need to win more contests on the wing.

Bowey’s disposal hasn’t been great.

 

We miss Sri’s and Clarrie on days like this when the opposition loves the contest as much of not more.

Melksham being absolutely hung off of every single time the ball goes inside 50

FMD you useless [censored] umpire. Blow your [censored] whistle 

It's not the umpires who have continually fumbled and missed straight-forward shots at goal.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
