    The swans are by no means impregnable. There is tremendous significance in this result. Can the Titan called the Sydney swans be about to topple ?? It's about blddy time.

    Makes our loss to St Kilda look better. Yes I know that's a difficult task, but at least we tried hard at the end of the last Q.

    That should be the default answer when people ask 'how did we lose to St Kilda?'

    How did RIchmond lose to St Kilda by 11 goals at the end of last season then win a  flag 8 weeks later?   Footy is indeed strange.

    What the actual? Gold Coast? At least now we aren’t the only team to fluff it against cellar dwellers.

    Take it MFC TAKE IT! They’re sitting there waiting to give you their money!

    Dew would have very good knowledge of how to pick apart the Swan's game strategies, that would have been a factor.  But its still a win in the record book.

    Sydney are 7-1 on the road and 3/5 at home, so you might want to temper expectations of a win just yet. I blame Gill for not scheduling the game at the SCG.

    Worst flight I ever had was to Lukla...

    Freo might make it two upsets in a row here and effectively end Essendrugs season.  Wouldn't that be something.

    Carn Freo! Enjoyable watch the bombers struggle to win this against kids. 

    The commentators still trot out the line:

    the bombers are a top 4 team when playing well. 

    Wtf does that mean? They are 12th!

    Yep, mine was a while back now but a harrowing flight that I will never forget.

    The plane was being thrown around from one cliff face to another, a sherpa woman was screaming at the top of her lungs, one of the monks was laughing in stitches and I was white knuckle holding onto my seat. Know idea what that would do if the plane smashed into one of the mountains but hey that's what you do.

    Anyway, good to see GC knock over Sydney...lets hope we get the job done tonight and stay safe 'SWYL'...

    edit: just checked the youtube vid..pretty certain it was a grass strip when I went there and at the end of the strip where you see that cliff face there was an old smashed up plane that miscalculated left there just as a reminder.

    Right. Well they are going to get thrown around. I would be screaming to, asking ladies for a kiss. 

    There was a Tiger Air plane that got hit by lightning just out of Melbourne i read. That can be very dangerous!!

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
