I'm lucky my dees bet has paid out because we were over 24 points in front. But I think it will be a very very close match. Certainly not a gimme.

This is why I find stats misleading. I get how many possessions Oliver had (for example). Jack Watts won us the game, then saved us the game. End of story. If it had have been Cyril Rioli , he would be in Team Of The Week.

In: Gawn/Spencer, Wagner Out: 2 of Harmes, Vince, ANB, Bugg,Oscar(although quite good)

I saw some we should have won, I saw some they should have won. I didnt see about 4 that we won. Happy.

We could have easily lost today with different umpiring decisions and only Demonland would notice.

How sad he is going.

Absolutely dislike this person. Had to hear about him dancing on our (near) grave at his sons soccer match since 2010. Laughing fit to burst was the (continual) word. Every week Id hear about his chortlings about MFC demise. Any day day now and they deserve it, he would say to the soccer dads. He cant be live on radio or TV because it makes his blood pressure rise, he'd complain about his coodabeen tv career. Shut up F face.

I try not to comment on games as I know my anger may subside later in the week. But Weiderman does not run to the right spots, doesnt present at all. He cant kick the F###ing thing and goes up when he has to with one arm. Bugg is worse than Weiderman. And the umpiring was so bad they ended up not even favoring North.

Richmond cheer squad used to have a "Danny Frawley, Our Genius" sign. I suppose genius is hard to spot.

He doesnt look like his dad Brandon much actually.

I see this accusation often. Its my belief Junior was done and was far too slow to continue but the process of his exit was flawed.

We see Rioli regularly not playing in Tasmania. We hear of tall forwards not being asked to ruck. Hmmm. This would not surprise me.

Looks like "free kick, Hawthorn" is lost from the lexicon. good.

I would hope Hogan only comes back in if the match committee believe he is ready to play. Weid was dropped for form reasons (I think) and happened to be injured. He has to prove himself ready.

When people were suspicious of Jack Watts commitment, he went into the ruck when Gawn went down. Now most people see how good he can be. Why not put Hogan into the ruck? Not like it hasn't been done before. Good leap, strong body, handy at the fall of the ball. We can patch up a forward easier than a ruck ATM. Watts back at CHF, swapping with Jessie occasionally. I havent read all the posts so if its being discussed elsewhere, apologies.

I think The same rules do not apply to all players. This may be Metrics? dunno. Some are given multiple weeks to get them up to speed before being given a rest if they dont fire - Weid, OMac, Melksham and Gus. Other players are moved in and out faster - T Smith and Bugg. Harmes maybe. Pedo could soon be in this maelstrom. It may not look fair but that does not upset me.

Don't you mean Stand To?

We lost by 2 points. One out: Weid for Hogan. At worst Hibberd for Melksham.

I cant believe Weiderman is being given excuses. I dont get it.

Whether its Tim Smith or the Weid is really not a big issue on reflection. Same to a point with Frost and Oscar. Spencer getting through the game uninjured, unreported and holding his end up is this weeks big deal. Next week we will start getting players back. I fear Hogan may possibly need to stay out west or may not be in a good frame of mind. thats got to play out. Spencer is the big show, then the form of Viney, Salem, ANB and Bugg will capture my interest. Next comes Clarry being able to deal with a lot of attention, and then the whole team not retaliating - either 1st or 2nd. Then I can just watch the Jayden show. BTW I didnt see it mentioned how our tackling has not had many free kicks paid for too high, but noticed it on the replay. Goodys got them sucking it up and playing hard fair football. Even my dogs arent scared of me watching footy - another win.

Very hard on Smith, one game then the chop. While the Wied doesnt clunk em, doesnt kick em, doesnt tap em. But he is footy royalty apparently....

Jesus ease up.

The draw was 91/1 yesterday, I cant believe it was my tenner that brought it in a bit tighter. But thats just lotto. Dees to win under 20 - $5.50. Go Demons!

I see Bull Smith forcing the Weid to start holding his marks and not missing the gimmes.
