I wanted gws to win because I just didn't want to put up with another week of the filth and there fans. Now they could beat richmond and I could not stand it to see them in a gf. If we got through to play them it would be the most nerve racking day ever. I couldn't' stand losing to them. 

At least if GWS got through I could have enjoyed watching them play Richmond. I doubt they would have beaten them. 

Gee they just got off to a terrible start. I also noticed in the beginning the giants players would look at the pies player when a contest was about to happen. Instead of just focusing on the ball. 

I bypassed the final term because I could see what was baout to unfold, but in that 3rd term I saw Jeremy Cameron mark outside 50 and instead of going back just played on and blazed away. 

Toby Greene did nothing except flop all night.

    Afl rent a crowd .....is that Gil in disguise with the flag? Serious joke.  The afl should be charged with bringing the game into disrepute.

    I know the Pies will get obliterated by Richmond but the mere thought that Collingwood could make the Grand Final makes me physically ill. 

    Yeah, would have been easier to see GWS smashed by Richmond than Collingwood

    Nailed it. 

    Theres a lot of people here that are happy to flirt with Collingwood potentially winning a flag for the possibility of us playing them in a Grand Final and that’s fair enough. I can’t do this.

    Most undisciplined side in the Eight and were duly put away. Do not hold out much hope for Camo's next year as Coach....

    Cannot "get" Cameron as a player or person, but i reckon in the right hands he would be a gem. The rest of them would appear to be too spiritually minded for my liking....

    would rather t mac, weed and hogan than cameron

    would love kelly or whitfield, but that's about it

    greene is a superstar but incredibly aggravating and is too often injured or suspended, and ward and davis are gems but too old for our list profile now

    Ha ha!  You are right Layz but If we are to win a flag I want to win it against a despised opponent who have a strong following.  Let's make it memorable.

    But of course,  it's one week at a time (slaps oneself - back on the straight & narrow)

    Well done to the pies a truly beautiful thing. ( Of course they will burn at the stake next week , but no matter)

    GWS a basket case of course,  but also no matter .( Scully manoeuvre possibly the AFL and the individuals , greatest disgrace in AFL history and  both are  now woefully exposed as a result. Truly magnificent also).

    GWS in great difficulty now like GCS and meanwhile Tassie  still plead.

    Gill maybe you should call someone to help.

    I hope Richmond beat Collingwood by one point and Eddie the [censored] is left wondering what a 7 day break might have meant...

    I hope that Collingwood beat Richmond and play us in the Grand Final. At least we get the opportunity for revenge for the 1958 Grand Final when they prevented us from winning a record six consecutive Premierships (viz. 1955, 1956, 1957, xxxx, 1959 &1960)!

    To beat Collingwood by a point with a Sam Weideman goal kicked after the siren would be a wonderful sight (especially if the cameras were all trained on Eddie McGuire)! ?

    It seems Eddie's rant last week about a missed free to Cox has paid dividends: https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/a-number-of-touchy-free-kicks-against-gws-prove-costly-early-in-semifinal-against-collingwood/news-story/c8f3688c1ee1a1a1ff2b9e84aee8bfd1

    "Collingwood received eight free kicks to the Giants’ two in the opening term.
    Those included a number of contentious, “soft” calls — while the Giants appeared unlucky to miss out on some calls of their own... The most controversial fell on the stroke of quarter-time".

    No wonder they raced to a 3.6.24 to 0.2.2 lead.  At the end of they day they deserved to win but that sort of umpiring can give the momentum to one team and can be energy sapping to the other.

    Yes a Sam Weideman goal kicked after the siren, but as a result of a miss-kick out of the goal square by Jeremy Howe.

    There would be nothing sweeter. Nothing sweeter at all!

    Just hope I could make it to that point!

    Oh God - my husband and I have already discussed this possibility. I don't know if our marriage would survive.....

    Seriously though wouldn't it be great. For my general health I would rather have the game won well before the final siren though.

    I’m with you.  Give me a 60 point thumping to the Dees.  No heart attacks needed.

    Write GWS off at your peril, they were massively stuffed with injuries this year. I am glad we are making hay this season because they could be a bloody big road block next year. Reading about the new talent they have coming in kills me.

    IF Norm just heard the name, and not the club for whom he is playing, he would turn in his grave like a rotisserie.

    But if Weed could pull it off, would it be the final exorcism?

    • 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.
