Richmond vs Melbourne - Round 5, 2017

Yessssss I called it! 

Go and EAD dees you stuffing minnows!

Viney, Jones and Hogan weren't chirping and getting in our faces in the final qtr were they? 

Tonight I am a happy man, that's what happens when you just run and throw caution into the wind, their downhill skiers started worrying about our run and stopped running fwd of the ball. Yes they were 2 down but the intensity and the momentum switched from 1st min of the last when dees still would've been ok so I'm not going to play our last qtr down.

 Run run run and not many can keep up with us

Cannot complain about Houli tonight,

He was immense in the second half, clean, hard at th contest with intensity and rarely got beaten. Him and Conca were all over it

Just heard Griff copped another concussion in VFL, will be out maybe 12 weeks

Thank you Bachar and Reece

I think we can add Astbury to the list of Hero's tonight as well!
Kept hogan to one goal and free'd up Rance to run riot in defence.
Was unlucky with the rushed behind call and had an absolute brain fade when he tried to Shepard the ball through and Hogan kicked it but that aside he was more than solid.

Just want to add Roos's first words post game were "well yeah Melbourne WERE two down for the secondhalf".

Suck eggs Roosy

[Lozza]

Noticed Rioli had an issue with his hand, might hear more of that given the short break. With Griffiths out indefinitely maybe we bite the bullet and elevate both Soldo and Chol, surely couldn't be worst than Elton who tonight contested but apart from that just had no impact.

Hogan kicked 3. Astbury can be very dumb at times, but he's going ok this season.

For his health later in life, he really should retire poor bloke

2 of those goals were from frees

Agree with that.

He kept crow barring that in too.

Was so great, I don't care the circumstances. Viney and Melksham are two of the lippiest campaigners I would love to cross one day. Very punchable mouths.

[tony_montana]

That's the thing with astbury, overall he's very strong 1on1 and beat Hogan comfortably in th contest tonight but 3 times he had a shocking brain explosion and also let himself get out bodied by Garlett which is just  .

If he could just cut that crap out...

I agree Tony. The AFL should step in when this circumstance arises. They have a duty of care to the player and legal propriety to protect. If a player is retired his worth should be determined ala free agency and the affected club given a draft pick as compensation.
