  • 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.

    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.

    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

    and, from memory, the two years they made finals matthew richardson - their talismanic tasmanian tall - was injured?

    i remember matthew knights had an incredible final to get them over the line one year

    Bailey Fridge. He's gone cold.

    Jacob van Ruined. Demon's forward system wrecked a good young player.

    '50 shades lighter'.

    Tom Lynch can be officially demoted to 'the other Tom Lynch'.

    Hopper must surely be BTD: 'bulk trash disposal'.

    Not sure Jacinta would be bothered, but it would be funny if they had to use the sub before 3/4 time and were left one short due to the ankle bracelet going off.

    I hope the Demon Army wrote the text. We don't want the teams running a banner that reads:

    Collingwood supporters are worse because they have an airy confidence and it's hard to talk back to them. Richmond supporters though are generally a few more notches down the IQ radar.

    They made the Prelim in 95. I was there that day at Waverly. Miserable day. Geelong pumped them. But Richmond supporters were singing the song in the final minutes because they'd had such a great year. It gave me goosebumps. Funnily enough one of the most vivid football memories I have. Tigers supporters outnumbered Cats about 10 to 1 that day.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
