Cracking game at the G between Richmond and Melbourne, and an 85K crowd.

Tigers have shown great spirit to come back from 20 pts down at three quarter time, their supporters are going nuts.

I wish Roosy was still coach. He'd be ripping everyone and everything a part after the Freo loss and this one. Hopefully the new coach rips into Roosy and the culture of losing he created.

I can't wait to burst the Richmond bubble in 2 weeks.

Melbourne capitulate for the 3rd week in a row when they looked like winning for most of the game. Two injuries didn't help them.

To be fair to them it looked like the injuries played a big part tonight. They looked cooked at the start of the 4th

The 2 injuries were the reason they dropped off, Nankervis had a big influence late in the game and Melb missed Watts across HF.

Tough not to in those conditions and a heated contest, rotations become super important.

Watts was really clean in spots tonight.

Nankervis has been a really good pick up for Richmond. He would have been handy with us at the moment.

Injuries obviously played a part but what did Goodwin do to stem the flow? Watts was rooted at 3/4 time - Hogan should have swapped with him and taken a turn in the ruck. Or is he too good to do some heavy lifting outside F50? McDonald was diabolical on Riewoldt but Goodwin never made the change. Viney and Jones struggled in the middle but weren't tried anywhere else.

Small sample size but Goodwin looks like a limited coach who is stubborn and only has one tactic in his kitbag, the aggressive press. Will watch with interest to see how he coaches with an injury hit team in the next few weeks.

Came here to say the same thing. Shocking coaching from Goodwin.

Nankervis was obviously going to get on top, yet the set ups at stoppages were diabolical from Melbourne. So much space for Tiger mids to run into, no one on the defensive side, just utter chaos. Why not sacrifice a forward and bring an extra to each stoppage to block the space and give Nankervis less options?

Injuries didn't help but this was lost in the coach's box.

Petracca is a ****ing big unit. Viney is a tool.

Does anyone actually have any interest in today's game Pies v Bombers?
