83k. I was way off. Loudest melbourne home game crowd since...?

well that was the loudest I've heard a melbourne crowd in a long time

Every single goal is so [censored] hard

Richmond rarely lose when Jack plays like this

Langdon with a free JVR only to ignore him because he can't kick on his opposite.

It doesn't matter if we win tonight. Unless our game strategy significantly adjusts and can counter half decent pressure, we'll barely scrape into finals.

he is smoking them. just not much to hit going forward

this is exactly how we started the game

Richmond average 75 points a game and have 52 to half time.

Our tackling is [censored] weak. They get a clean handball off every time. Richmond bury us into the ground. That's the difference. We have zero mongrel this year.

Every single one of our goals comes via China. We have to work so damn hard.

Pressure gauge must go up a notch on Goodwin. We are wasting this squad. No pace. No pressure. Hardwick giving Goodwin an absolute coaching lesson. Happens way too often.

Richmond win this comfortably. Not even close.

Richmond at 60% F50 efficiency is [censored] embarrassing. They are one of the worst scoring teams in the league.

This group is all Hollywood

teams ramp up the pressure and we turn to water. same as last year.

When I said last week we looked like 2019 levels in our loses I was ridiculed. This is 2019 levels.

Cumberland an early candidate for the year's first Kent Kingsley Award For Spuds That Play Well Against Melbourne

63% f50 efficiency to 36%

Case in point. How the [censored] did they get that goal

Richmond looks like scoring every time they go forward. just like essendon.

nah i reckon 74k now

walk ups still on level 4 of afl members. 65k max imo

On the flip side, my wife, who moved to Australia in 2008 and met me in 2010, came to games religiously with me in the dark years of 2012-2014. Across 2015-2018 were really fun for her because she'd not seen many wins so seeing more wins were great even though for me it was frustrating because we still weren't THAT good. But to her, 5+ wins was great. Our first was born in 2019 so she never came to the footy although she didn't miss much that year, and we were in lockdown in 2020 and 2021. She came to ONE game last year... the Freo game at the MCG. Our second was born two weeks ago so she won't be coming this year, and couldn't anyway because we've paused her membership lol Probably for the best -- seems she's bad luck for the team.

The only teams playing consistently high pressure AND high quality atm are Collingwood and Geelong. Watching every other game with finals contenders and no team really seems to ever be getting out of second gear. Maybe it's just me.
