Duursma, Butters and Roze all look like great draft choices. That's a great group to build around going forward for the Power.

Feel horrible for Cynthia, my deepest sympathies. No one deserves to be ridiculed on national television, least of all an amputee who has already suffered so much.

Just another example of white male privilege in an industry dominated by the elite boys club. Pathetic stuff. As usual it'll be slept under the rug and ultimately ignored, with the instigator ultimately rewarded with a pay rise and bigger exposure. 

wtf has colour got to do with this?  jeeeez

Off topic ramble  -  the new AFL.com website is awful.

Why do the morons that run the game ruin everything?

Spot on mate

Last year i was O/S for all of the Home and Away games so i used the AFL App on my phone often. 

It worked well, but this year it is a dogs breakfast. I hate to think what it is like on a full screen Laptop!!

one of the reasons i got out of TV last year was because of new apps over complicating a once simple task...

Bomberblitz has a thread on sacking their coach John Worsfold.... nowhere near as cerebral as the one on Demonland last year but I cringe at the love for Hird...

"I think bringing back Hird signals the club standing up for what it believes is right. Who are we as a club? The efforts of the Board and the club during the saga would give me, if I were a player, zero confidence that they are there for them.

Our culture shattered the minute we let a club champion be the scapegoat."

Watts off on the stretcher, no idea what happened

Broken his leg apparently.  How bad hasn't been said.

 

Eddie's belittling, regardless of knowledge, is still making a mockery of someone' ability.  A bit rich coming from a guy that never played the game at anywhere near the highest level, a game that consumes his life. 

 

Swans want AFL to take action on Eddie.

In that article is vision of the toss.  Its the first time I've seen it.  The toss looked fine so I don't know what he was on about in the first place.  Until seeing that I thought Eddie was just being stupid and disrespecting to all ball-tossers but now I think he was using the toss as a foil to belittle someone who is different.

I only hope McGuire steps down from more than just Saturday Nights broadcast. 

He should have been removed a long time ago. 

 

Brisbane are a joy to watch. Wish we got Charlie Cameron. Neale has been incredible for them as well. Like I said last week, they’ll make the 8.

Honestly feel they almost have a better list than us. Cameron is a star, Rayner, McCluggage and Hipwood up and coming stars. Neale is a beast. Harris Andrews a pillar in defence. We only beat them in the ruck and midfield slightly.

Good to see Cunnington given a 50 metre penalty for a gut punch in a marking contest. Lions might be the team to replace us in the 8.

9 goals to 1 final quarter by the Bulldogs to beat the Hawks...

we can only dream

plenty umpire assistance too...dream on


Well done Suns. That was great.

Suns have been competitive in both their matches

Doggies doing well

 

 

Wouldn’t mind Jack Martin.

Seeing the Doggies and Suns win has dulled the pain a bit.

When are umpires going to learn to be seen and not heard?

They are there to officiate the game, not be a part of it, FFS!

Sick of watching a game or attending a game and the umpires being a major talking point afterwards.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • 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.
