Has copped a lot of unfair criticism - fantastic set shot to win the game after the siren.

Richmond...

Shows the real danger of selling home games.

    Justice as well for GC and escape from embarrasment for the AFL and the umps after that disgusting dive by Reilwoldt, what a cretin!

    Really happy for him. He's put his head down and worked really hard to become a good player, which you can only respect.

    well done to him he has been terrific for gold coast!

    At least if they're paying well over the odds for him they got somebody with the mental fortitude to finish from that position.

    They are barely paying are they? isnt it all AFL cash? would definitely take Karmichael on our team, and good on him, must be pretty driven ect to make it in 2 world class sports. And Ruby league :P

    Im rapt for the gold coast. Also I think this puts GWS back on the bottom. But im glad we wern't the first team to lose to them. Its weird how they can thrash hawthorn yet blow this game to the bottom team.

    But hopefully Karmichael has shut up the people who have knocked him. he did something tonight that professional footballers who have been in the system for 10 years cant do. he was just so calm and went back and slotted it.

    Somebody's paying him zillions to be a good ordinary player. The line blurs between Gold Coast/GWS and the AFL considering they're practically the same organisations.

    Still, cop that Richmond.

    Fantastic, go Harmicheal !!!

    But, can I hear the Tune of a marching Surf Rescue Band???

    I hope I'm not witnessing the emergence of the Gold Coast only for them to finish 2nd last on the 2012 Ladder, & then for them to ontrade that 2nd pick to The Giants for an U-17 Yr old Key position player from WA.

    Two years in a row Suns have beaten them up there!

    I think it would be better for the Suns to finish 18th. They will take Whitfield and then GWS will take Grundy.

    If GWS finish 18th they may decide to take Whitfield. Suns would then look a lot more closely at bidding for Viney as they don't need Grundy and would rather an inside mid.

    Has anyone considered that we are only one game (and %) away from last?

    Interesting position we're in now hey ?

    Oh no , please no !

    its really like 2 games difference as the percentage gap is pretty big (7% with gc and 20% with gws)

    The outcome will be decided in the side of the season though, with 3-4 winnable games we should get to about 4 wins imo

    Was a little down after today's loss, although I'm getting too used to it, but that put a smile on my face and the only thing that make smile harder was the thought of the look on the tigers fans faces! They are just so entertaining!

    Every game is winnable. I thought we'd have 3-4 games won in the first half of the season. I honestly don't think that we can win more than 2 for the rest of the season. Who else are we likely to beat? GWS and GC? After GCs performance today, that's not a lock in.

    I think we'll finish 16th on % only from GWS and GC.

    Port really and GWS and GC

    I think the Dogs have an interesting finish to the season, they could easily not win another game for the season, no easy games ie Port GWS or GC for them. They are 3 wins ahead of us at present though

    Great result all round, really. Karmichael is working really hard and showing that he is most likely going to make it as a good AFL player, Gold Coast get the monkey off the back, and Richmond has a massive spanner thrown into their attempt to make finals. Good stuff.

    Thank goodness for Richmond. Courtesy of losing on the siren to a team that had lost about 20 in a row in a home game they sold for cash, the tigers will almost certainly miss the top eight and in doing so prevent Melbourne from owning the longest current finals drought.

  • Quote

    Their win makes me think....OH [censored]! And the reason being is that I have a bad feeling about this game now. But good on Karmichael. Worth every cent?

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
