One of my favourite non-Dee players.  His willingness to gut run and do everything for his club is unbelievable.

One J Hogan could learn a lot from watching this bloke

 

Nick Riewoldt is amazing.  What a career. 

Gold Coast beat Freo over there.

GWS now rolling Geelong. It's going to be a weird season with many strange results methinks.

 

Can we take a positive out of GWS beating Geelong? Aside from the obvious positive of Geelong losing, which is always a good thing, it would mean our win last week was better than some people might have given it credit for. Maybe.

Looks like being the most even season in ages.

And that people try to draw too many conclusions from one or two games.

Based on what I've seen so far, I think it will be the most even season in a while.

Just as you are entitled to your opinion, I am entitled to mine.  No need for the sarcasm.

I was trying to add to your comment, not rebut it- I agree with you.

 

Scully BOG . He would have been the difference in our team yesterday, much more of a difference than Hogan was. Their I said it.

So we beat GWS who are beating Geelong... who beat Hawthorn. Yet we lost to Essendon.

Footy is weird.

True that.

Seeing GWS rough up Geelong makes me even more frustrated about yesterday. We can match it with top teams.

Don't let Redleg see this!

Wow the bulldogs are certainly an exciting team and good on them. It will be interesting next week to see how they go against the hawks. 

I was shell shocked last night when I saw not only GC winning but winning easily at Perth. Freo are a worry and if they were a melbourne team more heat would be put on them by the media. 

Geelong coming back only 5 points down. Danger not having a massive game stat wise like last week. 


Watching the game the last couple of minutes I have seen something that annoys me every time I see it. Boy, it irks me to see players appealing for free kicks. Just get on with it.

They are channelling Jesse Hogan.

So the giants beat geelong by 13 points. This season is very interesting. I mean we beat the giants who beat the cats who thrashed the reigning premiers last week. Gold Coat upset Freo which was a shock, 

By the way Richmond have moved down to 9th. 

The use of "Hell's Bells" at other AFL games is [censored] me. They're playing it at every quarter time break in Swans v Blues. A song that we were looking to make our own for pre-match.

It's almost as though they've heard it being played at Melbounre games and thought, "Gee that's a ripper song to rev up a crowd. Let's pinch it. It's only Melbourne using it. No-one will notice." 

I acknowledge I may be the only one that cares about it.


A lot of teams have been extremely disappointing round 2 (us included). I wonder if the decision to play everyone for all NAB games plus then Round 1 affected us for yesterdays game? I hate making excuses but I'm just trying to understand how an AFL side can come out and look so underwhelming.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
