Has to be one of the most lacklustre rounds of football from a match up viewpoint.

Hard to get excited about any of the matches but in keeping with the impossible dream the following results are probably in our interest.

Richmond

Collingwood

Giants

Geelong

Lions v Hawks... draw

Saints

Carlton'

Eagles

    Carlton supporters at work are telling me they want to lose so Bolton can get the sack. Essendon supporters would also prefer to lose so Worsfold is sacked. Tipping a draw for that one.

    I would love to see carlton beat essendon. Bomberblitz will blow up. 

    It's strange to see Rhys Shaw coach tonight. I guess I still see him as that footy player that dropped the ball in the 2003 gf in the backline where Lynch picked it up tuned around and snapped a goal. But good luck to him.

    They should just do a straight swap. :)

    One has to ask sometimes if the AFL has it's match ticketing/promotions right.

    North home game tonight against a team that claims 100,000 members (perhaps 200,000 plus supporters) but there is barely half a stadium full (25,000).

    A team like North could make big money by promoting itself to the Tiges fans as a cheap way to see your team etc etc.

    Then again the cynic in me tells me that these membership numbers are perhaps flakey to say the least.

    Razor keeping the Tigers in the game I see. Is he a club member? Push in the back by Dusty, not paid, goal. Not Late bump paid for a goal, incorrect disposal on Cochin, not paid. Go Ray!

    32 Wood looks very promising.  Early days but might become something very special.

    Polec having a good night also.  Very creative and hard to tackle when he's in form and fit.

    Razer loves to create a stir about himself by doing that. Craves the attention. Remember last week when he played one against us despite being 70m away? Had a [censored] eating grin on his face as he did it

    Did the AFL not bring in a rule about paying a fifty if a player disposes of the ball and is wrestled- preventing them getting to the next contest..? the game is rife with pining blokes, holding, grappling, elbows to the chest of blokes on the ground..

    Get a grip AFL.. game is a joke!

    I think that watching him sometimes, but then remember he’s already 25 and has been around for 7 years already!  Probably never going to become much more than he is already so far into his career.

    North looking decent tonight. Shows what a bit of hunger can do to a playing group. Goodwin seems too laid back most of the time. I want to see him fire up and get the players fired up.

    Would it be possible for the commentators to speak about Cunnington without referring to him as a “hard nut”? We get it already.

    Wow i can't recall seeing him that far back i'm shocked.  7 years is a long stint for 47 games.   About 6 games a year.  Looking at his history he's either been kept out by the likes of Waite and Daw or incurred injury after injury.  Hope he gets a decent run at it.  Remembering that the Pod came into the Cats premiership team very late at around 28 i believe.  Was considered the Falcon's most important goal kicker according to Norf's player profiles.

    Does Ling know the rules? Any of them? He’s a [censored] moron.

    He's a very, very good footballer 'Ethan'...and has been for a long time.

    ...all this hard nut stuff does him a disservice.

    well for those who still believe in Santa Claus a Kangas win could be a good one for the MFC.

    Must say Brown is expert at playing for frees and I mean that in a technical way.

    Great seeing the Tigers lose.

    Say what you will about Ben Brown, but his elbow has more forward craft than Tmac.

    Richmond’s talent level again being exposed once their pressure falls away. Plodders all over the ground.

    Wow, this is a smashing. Great captain’s game by Ziebell, absolute wrecking machine tonight.

    Sounds like us ?

    In a year when we can kick ourselves out of the games against the Eagles in Perth with half a team,  Tigers lose to a club that just sacked their coach, and Geelong, a team that we embarrassed in last years elimination final fund themselves sitting on top. This year was ours for the taking....

    • 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.

    • 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.
