Richmond had the ball all that quarter but didn’t hit the scoreboard proportionally. Wasted lots of opportunities that they might regret.
Richmond playing on at all cost and getting some goals, some almost fluky but looks like that's how they play it.
Melbourne just need to find a loose forward, much prefer their style of footy than Richmonds.
Come on the Dees.

So in the dees room at half time just before the 101 yo comes on the screen there’s vision of the dees sitting around in a circle. If you watch the background there’s a guy with disposable gloves handing out pills from medication bottles to various players.

Can’t read the label on the bottles but wtf? If it was salt pills gloves wouldn’t be necessary. Anyone able to work out what they are? Anti inflammatory? Pain killers?

Could just be a standard hygiene protocol to prevent germ spread. Maybe they had a gastro situation in the week.

What was the go with Richmond getting the free when one of their players tackled then loses the ball and gets a free holding the man.
ffs it was a great tackle and Richmond get rewarded for losing it.
Agree, it happens all the time, it's one of my pet peeves, the umpire calls knocked out in the tackle and play on, it shits me. If you have prior are tackled and the ball spills out it should be holding the ball every single time. Teams and players are smart too, they do it on purpose and you'll find it usually spills out to the advantage of one of their team mates.

AFL used to be such an attractive sport to watch, but every facet is/has been slowly getting worse. The players skills have generally gotten worse, there is so much leniency the umpires give too (for illegal disposal, chopping the arms in marking contests, over the shoulder in marking contests etc), congestion around the footy has not improved, scoring is still getting worse and you just don't have the same sort of theatre of watching the tall forwards kick bags, the battle of individual stars going head to head etc.

There used to be a game or two a round where it was scrappy, low scoring and highly contested and that was okay as it was something different to the usual games. But now it has flipped completely, where it is a game or two a round where it is free flowing, high scoring footy. It's a shame.

Some funny looking handballs going on and that seems to be the nnorm these days.
The rolling maul returns and the commentators love it or Lingy does more accurate.

Maybe seanthelion is an AFL Journo?

Nah - sorry Sean that was below the belt!
IF ... the this teams' players can't kick, mark, pressure, tackle - that is, execute the fundamentals of their job...

THEN ... they should apply for a job as an AFL journo.

Am I doing this right?
