Seb off with hammy.

In less than 30 seconds, Max injured trying to punch the ball away.

The Brisbane/WC result shows that we didn't play WC into form last week, just sunk to their level. Another Mulligan tonight.

We'll lose this one. The Smith and Labuschagne shots were worse than woeful and have cost us the game. Warner has been gone for some time. He should do the right thing and retire after this game. Play both Marsh and Green and open with Head. Renshaw is a dud.

I thought "Jeff" Crouch deserved votes.

Progressive tally:
82 Nick Daicos COLL
76 Zak Butters PORT
69 Christian Petracca MELB
63 Lachie Neale BL
62 Tim Taranto RICH
58 Jordan Dawson ADEL
57 Jack Sinclair STK
56 Zach Merrett ESS
55 Marcus Bontempelli WB

The two controversial decisions by the third umpire showed that the letter of the law is not always the spirit of the game. The third umpire had little option but to give the first not out and the second as out. It was clear Starc had taken the catch cleanly and used the ball to cushion his fall rat...

Stokes hit 22 off one over so, with 126 to win, six overs after lunch will do it. A new ball is not due for 23 overs, so that won't happen. Unless Starc and Hazelwood work some magic after lunch, England will win. Losing the best off spin bowler early in the match, pretty much sealed our fate as far...

Never in doubt.

Last week and for most of the year, WC's skills were pathetic with turnovers galore. No so today. We seem to be down a couple of players as well due to injury.

It's not looking too good.

We have no-one who can take a lead up mark on the wing. The judgment of Caminiti and Phillipou is appalling. Our skills across the ground are bad. And, our lack of height is obvious.

...we need Covid to run rife through about 15 other clubs.

The last time we had the best full back in the league we won the flag. Some teams have been able to buy in a top full back (e.g. Melbourne) but generally full backs emerge within clubs, having formally been forwards or half backs. That is, it takes some time. Skill is as important as judgement. The ...

Game over

You can see why Richmond got rid of Higgins - no pace over more than 10 metres and no defence. He let his opponent just wander down to the forward line twice - for two goals. Same thing happened last week in the last 29 seconds.

But why did Sinclair ( who was clear) handball it to Howard who wasn't clear?

The roof will be open at the MCG tonight although a rain band that is moving towards Melbourne might pass by game time with just a shower or two. I note that the bookies have Richmond 5/4 on favourites, which is a bit surprising, but I guess that's where the money is. In recent times, the MCG has be...

Richmond 12.15

It's clearly too heavy for him. Someone else should carry it for him.

Mansell got three weeks, which is a bit surprising. But it reinforces that it's not the act but the outcome.

3 weeks, but Mansell will get off.

Our last quarter was pretty good - except for the last 29 seconds.
