    Hope Port keep up their horrible kicking next week

    Port looking ordinary against a depleted Richmond.

    Hopefully they have an ordinary win rather than a shock loss as we donโ€™t want them on the rebound and having a statement game against us.

    Volleyed goal. don't see that too often

    and the ump asks for a review even though the ball was a about a meter inside the post

    Not sure about Fremantle's depth.

    Yesterday was only North but they were missing Chapman, Cox, Darcy, O'Driscoll and O'Meara, plus OMac and Worner who played last week, plus a few others (e.g. Corey Wagner and Ethan Stanley).

    Perhaps against a better side they wouldn't have won but they're 2-0 with quite a lot of talent to come back.

    And I wholly disagree that they "need" key defenders. Their best 22 defence is top 4 quality.ย 

    We'll have to agree to disagree, but the back six that played the Roos is, IMHO, not a top 4 defensive unit (i think I'm right in saying that Omac is the only best 22 defender missing, unless you include Corey Wagner).ย 

    • James Aishย 
    • Alex Pearce
    • Jordan Clark
    • Ethan Hughes
    • Joshua Draper
    • Luke Ryan

    Alex Pearce is aย  pretty good player, but not AA quality. And he's their best defender.ย

    Watching the Tigers vs Port, the Richmond crowd were a bit much when the Tiges were on top, but I'm remembering now how much fun it was to watch nuffy-cam when they were better known as ninthmond.

    Anyone know the status of Marshall's injury?

    Not wishing injuries on opposition players but Marshall out would be handy considering our 2 outs this week.

    just being assessed they said

    Chapman and Cox are defenders, Cox was in the AA squad in 2022.

    They are both better than Pearce, as is Luke Ryan. At full strength they are a strong defence and one which I think most people donโ€™t appreciate.ย

    And hopefully Horne Francis hamstring is at least a 2 gamer.

    PS: Butters should be fined for staging. Just on half time milked a 50 and goal, pretending Lynch hit him in the head after a mark. Nothing said because he is a star, but not the first time.ย

    It's going to be a long year for Ooze.

    Tiges pressure rating in the negative.

    How many years did he get? They will win games but agree think itโ€™s going to be a long year for him.ย

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.ย

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
