Straight Sets Simon

I doubt he is on his own there.

Green still carries on like a soccer player after every goal he kicks, embarrassing.

Agreed on all points.

There are lots of slow great players, but for the way Trengove plays it is holding him back.

6. Blease 5. Jones 4. McDonald 3. Jamar 2. Jetta 1. Moloney

The line should have been 80 points, therefore it was equivalent to a 50 point loss against just about any other team.

Did you watch the game?

There is one thing that is stopping Trengove from becoming elite and he needs to address it now. His acceleration is shocking, the first three steps are the most important, and this is the one thing that his hindering his development. Now, the status quo on here will dismiss this and ignore the fact that I do rate him highly. But, we need elite players and he won't reach elite status if this isn't addressed. He will be a very good player, possibly even a club great but we need players like him to tear games open.

I rate Bail higher than Scully now. It kills me to think that we could have Rioli and Martin instead of Scully and Morton.

Agreed, he played loose on Miller but was punished. Must be re-signed at the end of the year.

Umpiring was rubbish equally for both sides. The holding the ball rule is becoming the punish the player for getting the ball rule.

Was merely pointing out the irony of the MRP situation with Sylvia and his bump. The MRP do not even use precedent so there is no such thing a "viable" one.

His refusal to kick the ball is costing the team dearly. He needs to go back to Casey to work on his kicking, wasn't the worst but that turnover at the end of the game on the forward fifty which lead to a Richmond goal was nothing short of inexcusable.

That tackle really was pathetic and then there was no second effort.

6. Sylvia 5. Jones 4. Trengove 3. Frawley 2. Blease 1. Bennell

Agreed, Melbourne didn't even interview Martin from memory.

I was struggling to think of anyone to come in. EDIT: I forgot about Tapscott. Sylvia suspended is a worse case scenario. Kennedy got off for breaking Sylvia's jaw in a similar incident but the MRP is a lottery these days.

OUT: Morton, McKenzie, Davey (suspended), Sylvia (suspended) IN: Jetta, Nicholson, Bail, Tapscott

Mckenzie just coughs the ball up with a stupid hand pass on the fifty line which leads to a RIchmond goal, pathetic effort. Game over.

Colin Garland just doesn't have a football brain, a good player but not a football brain.

That's what Demonland is for.

First Captain's goal I have seen from Green. Good finish.

Green is on, Howe subbed off. Would have preferred to see Davey come off.

Well done Jamie Bennell, a few digits have been pulled out this quarter. Just needs to convert.

First time I have seen Blease play since his debut, liking what I have seen so far.
