    How many years in a row has this happened, too?  When do the AFL stop gifting Carlton this game and actually give it to a team who could make it competitive?  

    I know I'm going early as the Blues might make a come... nah, who am I kidding.

    Rather like Druggies v Filth ANZAC, this became “traditional” after about one or two years.

    Bruce - "it was Carlton's lowest ever 1st quarter score vs Richmond if you can believe it"

    They scored one behind. I mean Bruce there's only one other possible answer is there...

    Having a bit of an analytical look at the game...

    The Tiges really struggle to get clean ball from centre clearances.

    If they can't sort it out they're not winning a flag this year...

    Richmond vs Carlton -  Game has started so my predictions are irrelevant.

    Collingwood vs Geelong - Pies by 27

    Adelaide vs Hawthorn -  Crows by 20

    Western Bulldogs  vs  Sydney  -   Swans by 15

    Brisbane vs West Coast - Coasters by 24 (But i really want Brissy to win, they should be quite good this year)

    St Kilda vs Gold Coast  -  Saints by 1

    GWS  vs  Essendon  -  Giants by 36

    Fremantle vs  North  -  Norf by 12

    As long as we win, the other results won't matter to me one bit tbh. Much as i suspect every other AFL supporter thinks.

    Your predictions are irrelevant whether the game has started or not, who cares.

    Another Tom Scully. Runs hard but absolutely butchers it.

    Interesting to watch a couple of their kids 'dazz'

    Will be good players but nowhere near the class of Oliver.

    Walsh is struggling with the pressure of the game and will settle.

    Oliver took to it like a duck to water, plenty of time from game one...

    Tigers went into sleep mode during that quarter. Only reason why carlscum are " in it " Bump on revolt was nothing.

    I can see a fair few Tigers getting poleaxed this season. Their manic 'go forward' running leaves little room for awareness. A couple of times they've been hit solidly, it'll only takes some better timing to clean someone up.

    Love having the Blues open every season.  Such an exciting competitive team full of guns.

    Give them every Friday night too.

    Curnow will be another Jesaulenko in time and Carlton will be more than competitive including finals in 3/4 years.

    Thanks for that Jezza

    Rance is a diving pansy. 

    Twice he had normal contact and fell over like a weak [censored]. Then the umps fell for it! 

    Blatent dives that he should be fined for but nothing will happen! Infuriating

    I'd love someone like Jack Higgins in our forward line.  Little ripper of a player.

    There is certainly room Wise, lets hope someone stands up.

    • 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.

      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.
