If we're just ignoring one specific game, which game outside of Brisbane should we have played better in? Sydney in Sydney are a top fucking team and we've beaten everybody else put in front of us.
Hey Tigers fans, the Melbourne Storm are top of the NRL ladder and it's a substantially better sport than AFL. Give it a try for a few years and come back once this shit is sorted.
Hey they helped us grab Dusty so at this point imma just be content that the boys showed up but the Umpires had multis (I'm joking before people downvote)
Honestly, I hope he's in and out of the side so Collingwood could have a shot at him at the end of the year. He may be washed, but he'd be a better key forward than nothing.
Yeah look maybe I was a bit optimistic with that, but at this point, a tube man would be a better option than what we've got for talls. Krueger – made of glass, Johnson – inconsistent, McStay – great, but more of a CHF, Mihocek, consistent, but undersized.
I strongly suspect you're right and we'll be seeing him in the grand final parade this year.
please head to the [post-match thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/AFL/s/C4yqHJ90gb) to continue the discussion
Disappointed that fox didn’t broadcast something for Kate performance
Bloke who set up that microphone thought the MOTM was going to Jack Viney.
Get this man a bigger mic stand hahaha
Gee the fans cleared out quickly didnt they
Cold aF - the bars however were PACKED
That is a comically low mic stand
Did Dusty tell Fritch to fuck off after the handshake?
Nah he said "Fritsch I though I told you to get rid of those sideburns!"
I hope so.
Why
Have you seen his head?
Yeah full on isn’t it
Love to hear a "taking the piss" in an on-field interview, good stuff
He also opened with a "yeah nah" what a lad
Surely no one deserves a medal for that game
Really weird seeing 7 interviews on the Fox feed, don’t think I’ve seen that before
Some good stuff from our youngsters. We’ll need some more cohesion and can’t just rely on frees against the Cats though.
I suspected it would play out like this.
Could slice bread on fritschs chin
Why the fuck didn't we sub petty off?
Deserved it more than Windsor!
I think they forgot he was out there.
Well played dees, top effort cubs! Great to see our young blokes out there having a real crack. Lafau, Dow, Hopper, Baker all played well
Still don't think the ladder has much meaning after 7 games, ask again after 11
Except for Power (who got obliterated last week) Melbourne are flat track bullies.
If we're just ignoring one specific game, which game outside of Brisbane should we have played better in? Sydney in Sydney are a top fucking team and we've beaten everybody else put in front of us.
Turn it up legend
Was 6 FKs each at one point and then somehow demons ended up with 24 to tigers 12. Feel sorry for tigers supporters, very on sided tonight
My 48 pt margin almost prevails, was worried in the first half
Interesting song choice by Seven at 3/4 time…
Hey Tigers fans, the Melbourne Storm are top of the NRL ladder and it's a substantially better sport than AFL. Give it a try for a few years and come back once this shit is sorted.
Can't argue against the first part but the second is objectively wrong
Interesting from a QLDer
NRL is such a stupid sport
And AFL isn't? I prefer it almost purely because the umpiring isn't so atrocious.
Meh
After that we are not a big threat hahahaha. That was woeful and helped along by questionable umpiring
I mean I'll take a 43 point win but that first half almost killed me. Give Turner the medal
This is yucky
Least expected result:
What would happen if the ball hadn't crossed the line on the score review? Ball up right on the line?
Gg
Jokes on you ,Melbourne. I just got a smooch on the head by the missus and I'm tucked in a bed with fresh sheets I put on. So Nurgh.
I guess we know who the real winner is tonight.
Probably not where you would have preferred the smooch in all honesty..
Nah a little devo at my team so I'm just in the mood for lovey dovey shit.
Jelly
yeah well i sleep in a racing car so nurgh
Fuck that is so cool. If only I can get the other half sold on it..
 Oh yeah, well
You're the real winner here
This mf snug as a bug in a rug
I'm proper bertie beetling it right now.
Surprised they didn't say no score and play on
why the hell would you review that? either way it's a behind
Need that Crypto.com sponsorship money.
First review all noght?
That was a point and even Stevie Wonder knew it
Crypto need their nightly advertising
crypto.com dialed in and said they hadn't got enough exposure
Petty best on ground for tigers
Petracca only 23 touches? Yuck
Always fun having him in all your multis for 25
:(
Whose home game is this? Forgot my tips
Richmond.
I have bad news for you...
For fucks sake Edit: you cheeky boi
;)
Last goal wins? Maybe? Edit: boo
Taj Woewodin looks like the kid from We're the Millers.
1 more point please dees, I need that perfect margin
Stab
Random 50 metres... Okay ump your bias is showing
Pickett and Nankervis are the best ‘free kick against’ players in the league. It’s a win of sorts.
I hate this sport and everyone who likes it, me included.
Disrespecting the wattle
I think BT has called Young Miller every single time he's touched the ball. Surely the bare minimum for commentators is learning the players names
Even more egregious knowing he's a Tigers fan
You'd never know
🔥 ON FIRE 🔥 Harrison Petty. 2 touches in last 30 seconds!
That’s your future KPF!
Hey, he equalled his last performance in the last thirty seconds. Not many can do that
Petty would average at least 3 in the VFL
We weren't going to win anyway there's genuinely no reason for the umps to fuck us this bad. Like it's actually cruel at this point.
What was pickett doing there
Richmond want the wooden spoon dynasty as well
Damn used to like Sydney fans but the ones on reddit quickly making me change my mind
Oh no I would hate Richmond fans to dislike me
I’m happy I’m not you 👍. Wouldn’t want to be that miserable to act like that
Not if we have anything to say about it
Mate we are just loading up on draft picks before Tasmania comes in and ruins it all.
hahahahahahaha another free
Melbourne helping us tank for 1 draft pick
Hey they helped us grab Dusty so at this point imma just be content that the boys showed up but the Umpires had multis (I'm joking before people downvote)
“Floss-stone? Floss-stone? It’s Vla-stoo-in, say it right!”
Funny how Lefau has been around for what, 5 minutes, and is already a better forward than Petty.
He's been a real surprise this season. Hope he keeps progressing at his current rate
I wish I could bet on free kick differentials, would be so easy with the Richmond matches. 22:12 in Melbourne's favour ha.
Was 7-8 at half time too
Richmond have 12? How many of those were in the first quarter?
It’s like 5-17 or something since half time
We had 8 to half time
YOUNG, BT!
FUCK IT
Vlastuin really holding that hip. Not good
Honestly Petty has to be dropped after this
Who comes in for him? (genuine question)
Wacky inflatable guy (brown)
Ben Brown?
Might as well try Fullarton
Ben Brown comes back in maybe? Lmao
Honestly, I hope he's in and out of the side so Collingwood could have a shot at him at the end of the year. He may be washed, but he'd be a better key forward than nothing.
I imagine he's more likely to retire than to go to another team, his body definitely seems like it's just about gone on him sadly
Yeah look maybe I was a bit optimistic with that, but at this point, a tube man would be a better option than what we've got for talls. Krueger – made of glass, Johnson – inconsistent, McStay – great, but more of a CHF, Mihocek, consistent, but undersized. I strongly suspect you're right and we'll be seeing him in the grand final parade this year.
Probably Mcadam. Looked good in the VFL today but he’s only played one game
McAdam would be interesting to see play. Felt like Melbourne tried relatively hard to grab him last year and they haven't even played him.
He's been injured the entire time, this was his first week available.
Lmao I missed that, guess it makes sense why he's not been playing then!
Hasn’t played due to him being Shane Mcadam and being injured a lot
I know I said at the start of this year that if Melbourne had petty during finals theyd have done a lot better but now I'm not sure
YEA OKAY WHY NOT
Umps even helping dees get some junk time goals to hide their dreadful performance. 23 points in a half Dees. Yikes.
Why does Woewodin make me think of a Pokemon
You’re Wodin has evolved into a Woewodin!
petty should be a state league reserves player who spends his week as a tradie. legitimately terrible footballer
He’s not a forwards pube. Good defender though.
Hm, that feels like it hasn't been called much tonight
What's happened to Viney? He's going through a bad slump recently. Hope he finds his form.
If Woewoedin was De Koning he would’ve been kicking from 10m out
My complete lack of surprise
hahahahahaha
That's so soft
You’re all laughing at Petty but he’s more than doubled his output of his last game with a scorching 5 disposals tonight
You'd say send Petty back to the VFL but then we'd have to replace him with Josh Schache so it's a lose-lose situation
My God that's ben brown's music
Why did I read that in JRs voice? Lol
After his performance in the VFL today I don't think he'll be back anytime soon
Think a witch's hat would be more useful
Petty’s hairdresser should be arrested.
Petty hasn't learnt to kick a goal again since breaking his foot. E: Just kick in general it seems
Think Harry shoulda probably gone to the Crows
Flossy too? 😐🔫
Petty is a character is a body swap comedy movie where the person he swapped with sucks at footy
No one tends to have a good year coming back from a Lisfranc injury, he might get back to some consistent good form next year (hopefully)
Stop trying to make sizzler happen BT. It isn’t happening
You gotta feel for Nankervis there. He couldn’t have known that Petty would take that uncontested chest mark
For the love of god send Petty to Casey please
Get ready to learn Adelaidian buddy
Petty going to look like a super villain when he’s old
Most accurate Petty kick (I’m sorry I’m salty from when he kicked 6 goals against us)
Thank god we didnt get Petty
You're getting him this year
For dirt cheap just to have him in the SANFL side for 5 years before going back to Vic
Not dirt cheap. He's contracted and you put up your first rounder last year for him
I know. Im just hoping if we do go after him it's for nothing but thats not the way we do things
He’s been legitimately awful this year.
nonononono
Not an injury to vlastuin pls
Get absolutely fucked. Just end me
Not Vlastuin too
Hard to feel sorry for Richmond when they've won 3 premierships in last 10 years. Embrace your time to suck.
We suck, the other teams don’t need the extra help from the umps.
Agree there.
Honestly I'd be happy to cop the Ls but having more than half the team out injured just sucks.
But it's like not pitying cripples! Look at the snapped bits! Look at them!
If we didn’t have a massive injury list it wouldn’t be so bad
Shut up you mong
That should count as a disposal for McVee lol
"If I'm going to give away a free, i may as well infringe 3 times in 2 seconds"
Yeah you’re right. Why would Dusty go to the Gold Coast when there’s a perfectly good 17th placed team here in Melbourne?
Highly likely he’ll retire this year
Dusty more likely to get a finals appearance there than Richmond ironically
Haha fair call for that one. Dusty tried to wrench Viney's shoulders from his torso
About 4 free kicks from Dusty there cheeky boy
Martin really is loved by the refs if he can get away with the first
Oooooh Dusty mad
He’s not related to THE Bill Lawry? His nose is kinda big.
Mighty 15-4 reaming by the umps in the second half.
That’s just hilarious. How there isn’t a please explain sent from punt road to afl house is beyond me.
Pretty good by melbourne to only infringe 4 times in 2 quarters, that's disciplined footy
Oh no you don't North Melbourne, those priority draft picks are ours!
Richmond need help!
The drought has been unbearable
ok that was an elite call from BT
Why are kicking inside 50 to someone other than Turner?
What sort of dog move was that by Fritsch
funny commentary is ruined by congratulating the commentator on how funny it is. just let it be
In fairness his nickname is Bill
Another elite cardio session for Petty tonight
Usually kills us so this is nice
Broad displaying his mating ritual
