The Scott brothers seem to get a lot of luck for two blokes that deserve zero of it.

    Rayner had been super and thenshanked the last shot to win the game.

    Surely the runner would have yelled out waste the 30 and take a shot with a bit of maturity.

    North's percentage could worry us with their generous run home. 

    Having a look at the ladder predictor if we win our next 2 games we should be safe

    Thank god the Hawks held on. Im sorry but essenscum have stkilda next week and I do not want them to have any chance of making finals. Plus im sick of people talking them up and mr tird saying they can win the premiership 

    Geelong hawthorn play each other each week so that could sort things out. 

    Anyway Adelaide and Sydney have to win. Tomorrow we need to win most importantly but also boost our percentage

    My god Brissy really should have won that. What Rayner was thinking I’ll never know. Young kid, he’ll learn volumes from that. 

    Great young side but they really lacked that composure in the end.

    And if he was a Melbourne player - he really should go back and learn his 'craft' in the vfl and have him ready for 2019 ?

    It’s infuriating watching a guy turn around to kick round the body on a 45 degree angle. Not once does it ever fill me with confidence.

    He wouldn’t have a chance to go back to VFL, he would’ve been delisted by now

    Essendon don't deserve to be in the 8, so it was justice served. Hawthorn on the other hand looked out of place below us on the ladder all season. I"d definitely back us to get back at them, 6 v 7 would be a fitting place to do it.

    Terrible results for us so far

    Geelong lost and will be outside the 8 with the hawks to come and the form team of the comp in bombers are out of the running! Lions getting up would have been perfect but hardly terrible results

    You have to wonder if he compares 20 attempts with each method at practice and uses the result to decide which way to do it in a game.

    Gee, football is in terible condition.

    Starting to think the bruhaha about 'spectacle of the game' and 'need to change what is happening on the ground' was just a smokescreen to cover the fact that all the real problems in the game at the moment have their source either at HQ or the Broadcasters.

    Meanwhile, that's three games in a row with see-saw surges of scoring and decided by less than a goal. I would guess that the actual fans are feeling pretty 'engaged with the content' at this point.

    Possibly true. I’d rather him take all his attempts practicing the drop punt on that angle but that’s just the purist in me talking.

    Funny how it’s seen a massive turnaround since coaches met for dinner at Gil the shills house

    Jeez, I'd have almost parted with a knacker to have seen Brisbane win that game and wipe the grin of that smug little [censored] Scott's face!!!

    Anyway I've tipped the Ravens.

    After all that, anyone want to modify their view of best result for us in C'wood v Sydney?

    (you can tell I'm confused)

    I’d rather Collingwood win. With their injury list they won’t go far in finals. Gives us breathing space on swans for next week?

    Both have positives and negatives. It's pretty much impossible to gauge what result is better because we can't know how the next 3 rounds will go. 

    For all we know, Brisbane blowing that win was the win that gets Norf to 14 wins and nullifies our superior percentage in the final round.

    I don't really want to play the Swans next week coming off 3 losses. If they win today it releases the pressure valve on them and lowers their stakes for the match against us. Would also be a sign that Collingwood's injury list is starting to take its toll.

    • 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.
