And we lost Grimes for a fair chunk.Whilst there was too much bombing to the big forwards there was bombing to no one at times. Looked like the only option at times was to go for as much territory as possible like a rugby kick to touch.. Invariably though the melb backs got there first and ran it out with ease.
Backline should sleep pretty well this week they kept a dominant team to,12 goals...82 is a score Our forwards should be able to match ( as we on all but 6 times in last 3 seasons and so far this year. )

Stack’s progression starting to look super important for us.
Great summary David. But I disagree on the crowd balance comment. I thought they clearly outnumbered us and were very vocal. We on the hand, were timid and placid in our vocal support. Very un-Richmond like. I’ll be posting my observations on this on a separate thread.
Super unlikeable team. No class, no humility.Melbourne players got very cocky and lippy the end of the game.
Don't worry about Melbourne.I've always hated Dudbourne and their front runner fans.
Despite their lack of success, the odd time they win a game you'd think it was the GF and it comes with a big time attitude. Huge.
I remember the previous time they beat us at the G back in 2016 I think it was, and didn't they want to let us know about it. Not sure why. They were sh*t and we were too that year. I remember about 200-300 MCC members all standing up 5 mins into the last quarter, turned towards the Richmond fans and just pouring it on. But anyway, thats how Dudbourne fans roll.
On Saturday night, preppy smart arse Dudbourne fans who probably hadn't been to a game in years, mouthing off. They were everywhere on the streets after. You'd think they had won 3 premierships with their mouthy attitude, not a humiliating 56 year drought.
They lose 3 in a row and they'll be back to dragging 20,000 to the G. Can't stand them.
I'm not worried about Dudbourne at all. In fact, I reckon they are average and are guaranteed to fall in a hole at some point.Don't worry about Melbourne.
They are another Stkilda, another Collingwood. They just don't know how to win a flag.
They're are useless.
I can see the headlines already.
'Melbourne out'
'Melbourne do it again'
'Melbourne lose the unloseable'
Strange post.I'm glad you aren't calling me a racist, because that would be very stupid.
Bachar had a really poor game by his standards and seems not yet to have recovered from his brave efforts in the GF.We have to disagree because I have Houli playing a better team game than Pickett.
99% of Melbourne supporters are smart asses.I'm not worried about Dudbourne at all. In fact, I reckon they are average and are guaranteed to fall in a hole at some point.
I just can't stand their fans. There's a real front runner and smart arse attitude to them. They pop up out of the ground infrequently, and when they do, the attitude is like they've been a mega success for decades. You'd think they'd have a smidgeon of humility given their last 56 years, and keep a bit of a lid on it, but nope.
They always do against us win it's going their way.Melbourne players got very cocky and lippy the end of the game.
