    A little birdie told me the Tigers bus accidentally took them to the MCG and they're currently up 200-0 over there.

    Richmond making a statement. 

    You want us prime time Friday, then give us more than a five day break.

    This ^

    Completely unnecessary for Richmond to play on a Friday after a Sunday game.

    Why?

    Ridiculous.

    The tigers still had a chance of making the finals.

    Interesting task for the right DL poster.

    QUESTION. ...over the past 3 seasons what is the win / loss ratio for all teams the round after playing us regardless of their result against the Dees.

    Im guessing most lost. They throw the kitchen sink at us then theyre utterly cooked the week after.

    5 day breaks anytime are hard enough but towards the end of a long season they are just about insurmountable.  Hoping the Tigers can rally.  The fixture inequity is bad enough in terms of double ups but surely they could manage equity in breaks between games.

    Tigers starting to stimulate themselves apparently.

    But keeps saying “head clash” but only focuses on the tigers player.  Presumably it was a head shoulder clash.

    What’s the deal with the Dogs? Do they just go too hard too early and run out of steam? 

    They go when the pressure is not on. When the pressure is turned up they go to water. See also 2021 Grand Final.

    As good as a kick that Daniel can be, he has some shocking turnovers attempting to pull off the ridiculous.

    Angus Brayshaw huge goal to take the lead 2021 GF - wasn't that from another "super boot Daniels"' clanger?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
