  • I’d play Balta v Dees. Sub him off at 3/4 time…or get him an apartment next to the ground and make sure he is tucked in bed by 10pm

    • imagine jacinta if we did this ?

  • Doubt there will be many changes apart from Ryan (injured) & Balta (curfew)

    • I don't think we'll ever see (curfew) next to a players name ever again lol

  • The key to the match will whether Richmond can apply enough pressure to Melbourne's midfield to pressure forward entries and to create turnovers. The more than likely that Melbourne will win the clearance battle.

  • Dees will be up for this one. Think we only win by 20-30

  • Trainor to start to get the job on Kosi Pickett

  • Cant send Sims in to ruck against Gawn

  • Can Nank get a hold of Max Gawn finally this week? I know Gawn was last week but Nankervis has had a better season. I feel like Nank run him into the ground be physical and get him this week.

  • The Dees are actually very small up front, with JVR their only key forward (and he's also second ruck). Probably means Trainor will come into the 22 for Balta.

    • Petty has killed us before and he played well last week. JVR got dropped, doubt he comes back given they won.

  • This is our bloody Grand Final for once.

  • Vlaustin will put Kozzy on the first flight over to WA.

    I like reading what the other clubs supporters think and say about the next game It’s great other clubs have doubts as well.

    Thanks for this and any others in The future

    They seem like rather sensible and "normal human" type thinkings. I can't imagine a Collingwood fan page would read like that haha I don't usually mind Tigers supporters, yes they won lots of flags recently but in general I remember they had long stretches at the bottom too didn't they?

    Looking forward to this game, should be interesting, will be good to see a few of the young recent top draft picks go head to head too.

    These threads can take a bit of time so really appreciate you starting them up again😁.

    They are a rather unimaginative lot: No derision. No sniping. No faux arrogance. No humour. Not much for us to push back on!

    They are no fun at all!🤷🏻‍♀️

    In other words another sensible lot you could have a beer with? I’ve been to plenty of Richmond melb games via an MCC mate and the crowd always seemed ok (maybe coz we mostly lost). Compared to Collingwood games …:: (I’ll never go to one again ever, unless it’s a GF. Heard too many shocking stories from the 23 QF)

    Too sensible for me!

    At least the Pies version of this thread gives us plenty of ammo to fire back.

    Some argy bargy is good but looks unlikely from Tiggy fans.

    No fun at all.

    btw, I tried to PM you some info but received a msg was you aren't accepting PM's

    I had a quick look at 'The Punt Road End' forum. Similar tone to that in the o.p.

    Found a couple with a bit of humour:

    • Petty coming into form w/out Van Rubber Band and Bailey Selfish playing. Who can stop him?

    • Dow kicked a goal - that'll guarantee him another 5 games at least.

    • I am not buying the Gray love....

      • Same, raw as sushi. No Dylan Grimes that’s for sure.

    Not true, of course, but rather clever! 😄

    Because of that experience, I wouldn't now go to any Collingwood game again (and won't get in to our GFs anyway). The mass behaviours were truly appalling and upsetting.

    Don’t be mistaken, don’t be misled,
    They toast their bread but not their head.
    They scream out “ball!” with beer in hand,
    Then start a brawl in Shame Warne's stand.

    The filters on 'Land don't let me publish most of their trash.

    Lukewarm Tigers banter. They are still admiring the three premiership cups from 2017,2019 & 2020 !

    Wouldn't you

    My only worry as a Tigers supporter would be Tasmania stuffing up the draft but if they go first pick this year and trade out another 28 year old for a low first they'll be set nicely for a rebound in 2-3 years

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
