Another Friday night classic, putrid umpiring and low scoring scrap. Gil and co at the ground must be happy of the mess they’ve created

I'd like to see the club target Jane Bunn. Seeing we are now struggling to play the MCG and our game plan is more suited to Etihad I think Jane would be quite helpful on getting first hand info and long range weather forecasts, helping us prepare for the wet and windy well before our opposition. She could also be quite helpful in ways to prepare and recover from our NT games, particularly Darwin if we continue. Another advantage would be knowledge of destinations and changing weather patterns for interstate games. IMO she should be our first priority over Gaff.

I think you're right, Meredith seems to get some good comments, all we ask for fairness.

Wowsers. As I keep saying, we've beaten no one. Last year I had more confidence.

Good point Drakey.

I wonder if we'd beaten Cats x 2, STK and Port where we'd be. +1,000? +5,000? +10,000?

no Razor Ray, Pannel or that germ Nicholls at least v Crows.

I don't really care what those sides think, our mistakes are the same as they were last year, slow learners. But yes I agree, but we can win it and we won't get a better op than this year, most sides are mediocre bar Tiges.

If these teams win, we are 5th and 1 game from 3rd. It's that close! Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Two things for me, Danger is a terrible kick, even Crows fans will say that, and Jones' 2m handballs out the back of packs normally go where they're meant too.....

Well played Sir! I must've been brainwashed by Dr.Who, my bad.

I think that's where my frustration is, I have full belief we can take a flag home this year, but we keep making the same crucial mistakes, easy goals out the back was an issue last year too, Lever going down was big but coverable IMO. Who knows, we may hit some form, but we've lost 4 of the last 6 now, could well be 5 of the last 7.

Who else thinks Richmond will smash the Pies this weekend? A lot of talk about game of the round etc, but with Pies injuries I can see it being very one sided and Collingwood are just as bad as us, they've beaten no one.

10 points? I can't handle another close one. In fact I don't think I'm allowed to watch another game after last week!

We've only got ourselves to blame Layzie

There is no pre game hum or feel, it's just screaming advertising and associated rubbish over the PA system.

This is where Gil has completely stuffed up with our game, he's too American minded.

Hmmmm, sad but true haha

Yep, I think people underestimated how weak their side was last time, they were an injury riddled mess.

But we aren’t the reigning premiers.

I don't blame Richmond at all, good on them, I blame the AFL!

I seem to recall commentators back in the day and an interview with Crawford, I'll look into it mate. Apologies. link here, Harvey 19.6km http://www.the42.ie/afl-stars-push-themselves-hardest-379060-Mar2012/

Apparently Richmond had: 9 of their first 11 games in Victoria, 8 at the MCG. 17 out of 22 games in Victoria 14 of 22 at the MCG. For a reigning premier, how is that even possible? Goes to show you it's more about money to the AFL.

Fatigue is an interesting one, interchange to 10 or so per quarter may work, then you have to think about skill errors. edit: mistake
