Rowe, Range and Thompson have all been part of finals teams. McDonald was a KPD in one of the worst teams of the past century (2013), and a non-finals team his whole career. Stupid selective stats.

Injuries have killed us in two games, but ultimately, we've lost 2 games because of poor selection and coaching. Leaders have also slaughtered us at pivotal moments. Jones has been a let done since round 3.

We lost it at the selection table. We needed experience and composure and instead we have JKH.

Just give me the time.

Please constantly update with time.

Time left?

We are hurting. Bad. Dig deep, Dees.

Spencer injured?

Is he wearing the banned bandana?

I actually would be very impressed if we win.

Watch Richmond closely. All of their entries come from transition. They are quick and direct, and confident in their scoring ability. We look to chain together 2-3 handballs before a kick. We still don't use the first option, which was an issue that persisted in the Roos years. Richmond have looked similarly average as Freo was in the first half last week, but look at what happened. Geelong killed us in transition and scored every time they went forward. Something very weird about Goodwin's attacking structure here. We are losing games rather than the opposition winning them. This game has the same makings of the Geelong and Freo game.

God [censored] damn it. You wait and see. Tigers will come out and kick 6 straight in the 3rd. What a stupid way to end the half. We're still not convincing and haven't been since round 1. Teams know that if they stick around they can pounce. We make ourselves vulnerable.

We are keeping them in the game. This is Geelong all over again

Why do we look for a handball when a direct kick is an option?

We just know how to win the ball. The problem is conversion. We are so manic with the ball that we sometimes don't know what option to use. We flood our own forward line. They had 5 inside 50s for 4 shots. Each shot coming from transition or an error at how half forward. We should be 8 goals up.

McDonald's goal. Ran off his man and gifted them space and run. Granted Trac shouldn't haven't dropped it, but we had them covered....why McDonald left Riewoldt is beyond me.

I hate goals like that tbh.

God they're getting the rub of the green.

At the game. They seem super nervous. On another note, pre-game music at Richmond home game: Jimmy Barnes. Can't make this [censored] up.

Just finished watching last year's game. Thing I noticed about Richmond is that they pretty much kicked all of their goals coming off Melbourne turnovers. I don't think they apply much pressure, they just wait for the mistake. They have perfected it this year so we need to be cleaner with the ball. I really don't know what to think about this Richmond team. We'll get a look at them tonight. As we will Melbourne.

Hospital on Grey Street in East Melbourne. Get there about an hour before, though.

Not be surprised.

Kent I believe is leading the club in score involvements. It's an interesting decision. Seemed deflated at Casey. Doubt he expected to be playing tonight.

I can't believe we lost to Freo. And we let them score as much as they did. We really need to tighten up and zone off better behind the ball.

yes you're right. I was at that game. The next year I think they beat us by 120 points lol
