What a horrible injury list - I thought they had some covid cases too.

But maybe they will (except when they play Footscray of course)

One thing for sure - they won't get 28 frees to 20 next week - they play the Bulldogs.

Still on top - for now. 136.6%. CFC 132.95

when do Richmond play Geelong?

At least our "record" conceding 8 50s has been surpassed, and in a real match.

...even alongside Richmond fans ? 🤔

I would put them both down as below average.

Tigers lost their cool completely. Now for once that IS a deserving 50.

The man on the mark just stomped his foot - what an absurd rule for a 50 meter and a goal. Thanks SHocking.

“I don’t think Footscray can handle being under the spotlight …” Maybe all their games should be Sunday 4 pm at Docklands (or Ballarat)

What a ridiculous 50 against Solti.

Have only just turned on - love the even handed unbiased umpires allowing at least two Blues showing dissent without 50 meter penalties. Gil - anything to say?

That "front on contact" on the quarter time siren was jut plain cheating / incompetence. No contact was made. And the HTB interpretations were polar opposites dependent on who had the ball. I hope official questions are at least asked privately.

Didn't even notice Libba at all.

I have never had any opinion, one way or another, on Tom Morris, but Bevo's outburst was just so weird and angry. Has good old Gillon had anything to say??

A few quick observations. Well done given the very makeshift defence. Tracc is an absolute beast and clearly hates (the thought of) losing. Umpiring just awful and one sided, once again. One time when we were 3+ goals down we would have dropped heads and lost badly - this mature well lead, very fit and superbly coached team left me only mildly concerned and again a 40 point turnaround was not unexpected.

And Jake Levers late withdrawal??

A brilliant exposé. As others have said, MFC and all of us supporters are so blessed to have Goody at the helm, but at the helm of a well oiled team. The H-S can sod off …. the players all seem to love him, and vice versa.

This is NOT the way to earn respect from the players - it is just the opposite. Actually pathetic and this guy can never be respected if he continues this way. Nobody respects authoritarianism - they may however respect engagement. Sure - no abuse, but shaking one's head, asking "what for" or laughing in frustration is not abuse.

Firstly, I remain uncertain if Hunt is still in our best 22 as a defender (despite being there for 20+ rounds in 2021). However Hunt played last week as a cog in a completely makeshift defence, so should his performance be assessed the same as if he were just one cog in the established defensive unit?

The big problem is that Gil and the AFL are trying to demand respect of the umpires rather than having them earn it. Typical half baked knee jerk reaction to what they see as a probelm. Yes, abuse should not be condoned, but penalising asking a question or showing frustration is another gross overreaction, and likely to have the opposite effect, making relations between players and umpires far more fractious. Time to reset, Gillon.

Can we call them Margetts then?
