Yep the Saints had 3 games in 11 days while we had 3 in 13.

For Melbourne supporters solely or mostly blaming our recent schedule for our loss to Brisbane, then I think it’s more than fair that those same supporters absolutely excuse St Kilda’s performance last night.

The AFL just needs to get better than this. It’s a real reason why teams just can’t get up for a game. It’s not a good advertisement for The game watching 2 completely one sided games last 2 Thursdays that really should have been neck and neck talent wise. 

Also Clarry can’t pick up the footy and is looking like someone who needs a mini pre season.

i fully expect, given the rest that we've now got ahead of us, that the football dept will back the team that was performing well before the flat game vs bears

OUT: salem, billings
IN: hunter, pickett

This is pretty spot on, but I think our forward line balance will be reviewed. I think it took till the last quarter for any of our tall forwards to even have a shot at goal. 

We clearly need the bye.

Im not sure what the point of rolling out a completely unfit and injured Oliver at the moment. Horrible look.

I don’t know about parking around Gosch’s except to say being early on a Sunday morning you should have a good chance of getting a park. But a better idea is to park at a train station and PT it to Richmond train station. Maybe not if you’re on the Sunbury line though coz of the dreaded two words… replacement [censored] buses 🤬

I really hope we get a decent turnout, in the absence of a traditional Family Day this is one of the events we heavily rely on for fundraising.

So y’all drag yer sorry arzes outta bed and get on down here! K? K.🥰

 

 

Yep. The line was down for the hawks game too. Standard. Thanks for the tip.

So we do train in the rain after all!

Any good parking recommendations?

I think what Papley was saying , if you’re gonna do that, at least go hard at the ball as well, which the bombers aren’t.

Just looking to bag the 4 points to make the rail replacement bus journey home a little more pleasant. 

Amazing that they are offering replacement buses during Grand Prix weekend. Standard.

What pleased me most about the win was the way we played / tried to play. Although not perfect at times ie wrong option, poor disposal, too slow moving the ball, we played a game style that can take us deep into September.

Not a fan of JVR in the ruck, rucking inside fwd 50 is one thing but not lining up at centre bounces.

Vintage BBB & TMac, Chandler firing again, Oliver getting ready to explode.

Thought we had our smalls in better positions today at times but little things like Kosi flying for a mark then no one at ground level when the ball spills. 
 

Not getting carried away, good win but a few things to work on.

The last mark Ben brown took I saw kozzy run in and thought he was going to have another spoiled Speccy attempt but he actually ran to the potential fall of the ball. In the end brown took it but I loved how he played the percentages.

Always gets injured *fixed*

I’ll get louder when we can start executing basic skills. 

Salem goes back. Give billings a full crack in the midfield. Their skill set is pretty similar. 
 

Spargo out for Kosi.

Shache stays in and breaks the all time contested possesion record…

Schache will stay in to rub salt in the wounds of the bulldogs for letting him go….

Charlie Spargo has fallen off a cliff. Incredibly disappointing match. 

Complete arrogance playing him off no match sim.

I hope I’m overreacting but this does not look like a side ready to play AFL football right now.

For The trainwatchers do we actually bring footballs to training?

Our skill level is absolutely infuriating.

Family road trip to see the game. But need to break the interstate trip curse... 2018 Prelim and Adelaide Oval against Crows 2020 when they deliberately OOB with no free kick, lost by a point. Wish me luck. Go Dees.

Well if we lose we know The reason then haha 

Nek Minit. 

Finals revenge is here!

All training sessions have been replaced with golf days. 

It’s been a bit of a blur, but I believe I heard it was an independent medical team made this decision, not the AFL.

It’s the right call. That night was sickening and he should never put himself in that position again.

LOVE YOU GUS.

As for Maynard, I look forward to warmly welcoming you to the MCG Kings birthday.

Agree on Verral, he looks a player. 

Spent most of the day watching from the face painting line but from what I saw.

Windsor won’t play any VFL.

Brown Junior looks like a future fabric of our team player.

Kosi looks huge and ready to explode.

The video posing with the flames the other day was so cringe.

Ir can’t be that hard, spend some time with a particular player, show some match sim footage and it would tick most fans boxes.
