Boyd is useless. 

Early Mark Jamar-esque. 

You went about 20 minutes too early.

    Happens every time I say something about anything. 

     

    Having said that, he 2-grabbed a mark and spoiled a contest, no biggie. Cometti easily impressed.

    Ha ha laughing at the west coast fans booing the umpires because for once the umps are umping properly and not getting sucked into the home crowd. 

    Geez the dogs are a good smothering team. Boyd had a much better 2nd quarter. Stringer needs to stop looking for the easy handball over the back and actually go into get it. 

    But its a tough and great game. Hope the dogs win.

    If the Bont & Stringer fire up in the 2nd half, the Dogs will win.

    How good would it be seeing West Coke going out in Week 1 on their home turf...  go Doggies

    Have you noticed how many times the Eagles players have stopped and propped (gone sideways etc) as they try to stream forward.

    You have to have players forward streaming into space.

    The Dogs are a faster side. A good marking side will beat them as will a precise disposal team (eg Hawthorn) but it osn't going well for the Eagles tonight,

    Interesting second half coming up.

    Do they ever stop booing over there?

    Picken has been immense.

    Picken has hands like his old man

    Maybe it's just jealousy, but it annoys me seeing how quickly Beveridge has transformed that team. They are very impressive and play like a team. Bontempelli has all the hallmarks of a superstar.

    And I haven't rated West Coast all year, so it's delicious seeing them failing at the first hurdle. The Dogs will play Hawthorn or Geelong next week; I know I'll be rooting hard for them then.

    Huge fan of Liam Picken. Work rate, tackling machine and very skilfull. He has been a massive influence in this game. And he is as good a mark as his dad, if not as spectacular. No chance in the trade period?

    Eagles still in it, again Doggies need to just get to the end of the qtr in this position and they are a massive chance. WC will make is close though.

    Bont and String need to lift massively.

    Suckling big loss for Hawks? Such a good boot and doesn't get beaten often in the air, has enough toe once the ball hits the deck too.

     

    Doggies!!!

    Their supporters can't deal with the lack of home town decisions.

    They've had a dream run for years

    Some of Boyd's pack work, ruck work and defensive work has been massive this quarter. But he is no power forward at this stage.

    Courage with the smashed up nose.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      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.
