Good to see Howes, Laurie, Windsor and Brown on the field and getting touches early. Nice goal threaded by K Brown on the boundary.

    Roo looks our most likely up forward.

    I like Fritsch and Koz as smalls but will need to find a few more big targets.

    Things looking ominous from a Richmond perspective. Demon mids doing as they like.

    JVR kicks our fourth of the quart...errr....period

    25-1

    K.Brown with a rundown tackle! Hands off to Petracca who kicks his 2nd!

    Schache giving the chop out in the ruck. I much prefer this so JvR isn't exposed to extra risk there.

    Interesting that the goals that seem difficult and the ones he doesn't spend time thinking about are the ones Tracca nails.

    Brown looks lovely up forward.

    Max looks as fit as ever.

    Gee I've missed footy.

    Brown looks like he might be a little pest, I might love it

    Really nice passage of play through the middle with precision handballs - unfortunately ends with a Billing’s mis kick, but great to see

    K Brown looking promising. Love seeing Fritta lay a tackle even if it is high.

    I like Lauies skill and run, but a big question mark for me if he has the body and desire to put on physical pressure.

    Tuned in 10 minutes ago and it's been all Richmond and bombs into our crowded forward line.

    Back line being cut apart on rebound


    Richmond with the last three goals as the first period comes to a close.

    31-19

    The tall defenders are going to be a worry with this run and gun system. Lever has brain farts, May gets nervous under pressure and the Tug Boat can’t move the feet quick enough to evade pressure, nor can he defend.

    Some bad kicking leading to a Richmond goal late 

    Had some incredible passages of play in that qtr but mis kicks in both fwd and def 50 leading to missed opportunities and oppo score 

    Kick it high into the forward line.. nothing’s changed

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have traveled to Alice Springs to take on the Saints and they have a massive opportunity to build on the momentum of two big wins in a row and keep their finals hopes well and truly alive.
