Great to see the three teams that have won 9 of the last 10 flags in the top 4 again....

Ffs

Ah yes. Another AFL triumph, the "equalization" plan

The top clubs get top fixturing to get top gates to buy top players from the feeder clubs.

    And the funniest thing to me is that it hasn't even been equal between those 3 clubs, as evidenced by the fact that Hawthorn are going for 4 on the trot.

    OMG those maggots.....how was that deliberate? What other option other than not to go for the bloody ball at all?

    Gift goal to reverse the momentum

    My finals moment so far. Rioli gets a tiny tap to the stomach and goes down whinging like a Colllingwood cheer squad member at the dentist.

    Cmon Geelong. Time to clip the wings off these whinging Hawks. Just get it done!

    This shepherding on the mark is just plain ugly.  And the umpires endlessly telling players to 'stay behind' but they blatantly get ignored.

    I'm barracking for the Cats, but that was as obvious a deliberate as you'll see. Poor play by Lonergan.

    Wow cracker last quarter coming up. I reckon if the umps said go for it there would be a massive all in brawl. 

    By the way Chip your mistake gave the cats momentum and they kicked the next 3.

    Officially over these two teams. Just don't care anymore!

    How come:

    Hawks always get away with encroaching on the mark?

    Mitchell only needs to kick 5-10 meters to a mark?

  • Quote

    Cats with the one point lead. Four minutes left.

    It's [censored] isn't it. Mitchell is the king of 10-15 pointless chip kicks. Meanwhile Bartel slides through 3 blokes and handballs perfectly while on his back. He's a tough champion footballer Bartel.

    That last possession from Bartell was brilliant

    Yes! Cats win! Thank god!

    Hopefully that's the end of the Hawks. Great to see them finally lose a close one.

    Nobody deserved to lose really...I think he rushed it.

    Has there ever been a kick after the siren match you could have cared less about.....

    Bittersweet. As soon I grin that Hawthorn lost, I quickly remember Geelong are through to a prelim. 

    Any of the Sydney, GWS, Doggies or Adelaide will do me.

    Smith smirking with his team mates before he kicked the ball, like it was a certainty, and then pumping his fists as soon as he kicked it....only to find out he missed and they lost.

    Fan-bloody-tastic.

    Couldn't have happened to a more arrogant team.

    Chew on that Hawks.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
