Rob Mac......

Windsor kicked two perfect passes to tigers. Petty and Oliver a bit disappointing. 
Thank god for May, Lever, Gawn and ANB.

He's a beautiful set shot but is lacking confidence this season, you can see it in his approach.

I just think he is lacking confidence in his body at the moment.

Get that right and he will be good to go, forward or back...

I agree "rjay".   
I read lips and body language pretty well and very closely watched their defenders appearing to heavily try to get inside his head when off the ball.   (Not just that mock crying taunt.)

I hope he gets a little help/advice so that becomes water off a ducks back to him.

Well it's 4.33 am here, I'm off to bed. Goodnight everyone. 

He has great agility too, quick change of direction.  I'm excited by Chandlers footy and agree with you all.

I asked Maisie if he would be playing tomorrow.  Responded with a cheesy grin: “I think so, if it I get hit it will hurt, but I’ll just have to wear it”.

It shouldn't be about May having the courage to tolerate short term pain, it's about potential to do more permanent damage to his recovering injury. 
     Broken ribs, plus I think they said a cracked transverse process. That's part of the vertebra.  I'd let it repair.

Yeah Rob, I did see that as well; from memory it was in the second half of the game (I was at band rehearsal and missed the first half), and I’m pretty sure (read 86.6748888%) it was not Oliver. 

Yeah, I was about 86.674888% sure it wasn't Oliver too. As a guitarist I was too busy cringing for my hands. Hope your bands gig goes well Tim!

A dislocation at training and he’s sent for precautionary scans, and all of a sudden reports of things supposedly seen in a game played last Saturday, take over the thread. How Demonland!!

I hear you HT,  ..but I also saw a Dee reach to pick up the ball then a Hawk kicked it off the ground in danger (no free). The commentator didn't mention it. Reminded me of school games years ago. Cheers Tim

Don't underestimate how hard someone can try if it REALLY matters to them, and I think this may mean more to Grundy than anyone else. (Of course Max is much better normally)

If Channel is a direct stream of the Fox Footy Channel 504 on Foxtel then you should be able to watch the Scratch Match LIVE.

Yes that's what I'm counting on. Thanks

Is that a 24/7 live stream of the Fox Footy channel on Foxtel or just On Demand streams of their programs like On the Couch, AFL 360, First Crack etc?

WatchAFL has 5 headings to choose from:

"Home", "Matches", "Shows" (which has on the couch, first crack etc.)  "Channel" which I guess is a stream of Fox Footy (having never watched it in Oz) where you can also replay some older ones such as RDB Memorial, trading days etc., and finally "Ladder".

Hi 640md.   I live permanently os, so never used Kayo. I use WatchAFL on ipad, phone or laptop. Works fine. 
Part of WatchAFL is "Fox Footy" so hopefully the Richmond will show up there. 
Cheers

Does anyone know whether overseas members with WatchAFL can see it please?

You can’t make up your mind Wdee re Tommo or Turner. I think it’s about time we hit games into Disco with an eye always on the opposition if they have a genuine beast in their attack, which May need the bigger body. 

58er, you seem to be saying that Disco Turner has a bigger body than Tommo!?!

They're both about 194-195cm but Tommo is 95 or 96kg and Turner is only 87 or 88kg. I think Tommo's bigger. 

Really wanted the pies to lose, but must admit they seem an incredibly well coached side.

Our girls are more deadly inside 50 than our men. 

Being overseas I watch games on TV and noticed that players spinning the ball in their hands a lot or looking uncomfortable before kicking, usually miss.  
Relaxed concentration with little or no ball spinning, more often nails the goal. 

6. May. (Fabulous)
5. Lever
4. Smith  (Our best forward in the game) 
3. Spargo. (Wow, well done!)
2. ANB
1. Gawn. (Not one of his best, but we get used to him being so dominant)

game plan: -2

Grundy is not in the right frame of mind Norm to be playing a game of this magnitude.

He's already on the beach.

Curious whether you know this for a fact and why?  A good source?    ..or are you hypothesizing?  Thanks

Grundy must be SOOooo frustrated.  We should be using that energy. If picked I think he might take some angry pills and show people what he really can do. Surely he cares about his future and doesn't want to go out with a whimper!  

More than anything I've seen for years, this whole episode seriously brings almost every part of the AFL profession into DISREPUTE! 

Well done AFL for failing to move towards societies desire to make our sport less barbaric while maintaining as much of its wonderful essence as possible.   

Well done AFL for giving soccer valid reasons to make further inroads into our unique Australian sport. 

This damages Aussie rules footy, a great part of our countries culture. 

It's sickening and should be remedied. 

SICKENING !

The millisecond that Brayshaws kick passed, Maynard should have grabbed Brayshaws shoulders to absorb the impact. 
Instead Maynard lowered his arms and pushed his right shoulder out to transfer the full impact to Brayshaws head!

Watched it a few times. He could have put his hands out to Brayshaws shoulders/ upper chest to absorb the impact with his arms, but instead he chose to put his shoulder out to transfer all the impact to Brayshaws head!!

We're rattled, bombing it in long and high again 🤮

Forwards not giving options and no-one lowering their eyes. 

It's 2am here, game starts in 20 minutes. .won't sleep till it's over 

hope we start well
