Both matches are at Metricon . They need to give all facilities a thorough clean before the next 2 teams enter the ground. 

They always were at Metricon

The time of the Suns match was delayed to give them a Sunday afternoon TV game in place of ours.

TV rules..especially this season

ridiculous that they can't stream our practice match because of broadcast rights

    There is no form line so far this year. Most clubs don't seem to be able to come to play week to week or even quarter to quarter, and then you have WC sooking it up about the hubs.

    Let's wait for Port today who might be the only side to put in three strong performances.

    Collingwood not too far off.

    Everyone else has put in at least one sub-par performance. In a normal season, that would be a refreshing positive.

    I think our lapse against Carlton needs to be put into this perspective.

    Yes, after looking at regular upsets and clubs having good and bad quarters in a game I'm looking at the Carlton game a bit differently.

    Goodness, Crows need Ricciuto to put the boots back on.

    This season is mainly irrelevant for the power clubs. Their memberships are full, they get the TV money and the variable... crowd receipts is irrelevant this year (you can't make money on socially distanced crowds). One more loss for the Eagles or the Crows and they may as well mothball a few players for the season

    For minnows like us we need to sell the hope of next season but I suspect that come round 7or so we'll be packing our tents.

    The AFL will be loving this. Another leg up last year for the Suns, who have enjoyed 10 years of draft concessions. The talent was already there and a few other clubs had better claims to priority picks, but they could not risk their babies failing. I hate the expansion sides

    never forget, they're FRANCHISES not clubs

    AFL should take away some draft picks from Gold Coast this year.

    Absolutely. Trading away their future mid round 1 pick now looks like smart move. Not sure what extra picks they have left but unless they fall off a cliff surely they would have to be rescinded.

    God Matt Rowell is an absolute gun. 
     

    Wish he was playing for us.

    Great to see the crows are the basket case of the AFL. It’s great viewing.

    You're not doing it right, OX.  It needs to be:

    Gee Rowell is a gun.  I can't believe we didn't trade all of our picks this year and next to get pick one so we could draft him.  What a missed opportunity from us again.  

    On the other hand, the Crows are absolutely pathetic.  One goal to three quarter time against the reigning wooden spooners.

    crows look devoid of 'spirit', whatever that intangible may mean

    Good, hopefully it lasts for a few seasons.

    Let’s not get too carried away with GC.

    They always start the season hot and then fall in a heap by round 8 as injuries and fatigue mount.

    They’ll probably get out of the bottom 4 for the first time in 6-7 years though.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
