That game played out like you'd expect our game to next week. Brisbane getting a stack of it inside 50 and a stack of shots on goal, but failing to take their chances. St Kilda keeping their forward half open and using speed and run to make the most of it.

If we're going to go down the same road, goalkicking accuracy is critical. 

Fingers crossed we have our kicking boots from the Pies game and not the dogs game then.

Moving on to different games, fingers crossed the Weagles get the job done against GWS today, and maybe pray from an upset from the Kangas. I could actually see that happening, Pies are so depleted and who knows maybe something random could happen for Shaw.

    Only 1 thing in our favour for next week. St Kildas inconsistancy.

    Based on what? They've been one of the more consistent teams this year.

    Meth coke are a class above. The only good thing about our predicament we don’t have to play them as they would slaughter us. Who need another 2018 prelim final. Evidently there is equalisation in the AFL. Can someone rationally explain how they got Kelly arguably the best player in the AFL last year. Salary cap my a**e

    Brereton is Right. 
    the pressure within the Eagles fwd line is immense and unrelenting 

    The Nik Nat Snap goal

    We do that maybe once a year

    Wasn't there a rule that if a player gets 3 fines in one year the third is an automatic 1 week suspension.  Jordan Lewis was hit with this a few years ago when he played for us.

    I wonder if that rule is still in place? 

    Either way, it looks like a cop out by Christian.  Deliberate, low impact, high impact = 1 week holiday.

    Watch the Tribunal just give Lynch a fine...

    I'm pretty sure that was lumped in with the points based system which for me confused the whole thing, particularly when they then brought in the 10% downgrade for an early plea. They took out that system because people didn't like the carry over points.

    I would've thought the simple option is that if you have been given a low grade reprimand for a gut punch, low impact strike, or low sling tackle that puts you on an offender list that takes say 5 games to wipe off and if you do something low impact again you get a one match ban. Similar to the yellow card system in football.

    It stops players from doing the cheap little shots that isn't enough for a suspension straight off but then repeat offences gets a ban.

    EDIT: Just going with my 5 game offender list, I also think it should take 5 games PLAYED to clear your name. They can be VFL games but you shouldn't get a free pass from injury.

    Somehow we need nth to upset the pies. Not only will it keep us in touch with the 8 but seeing the pies lose would be great.

    Luke Dahlhaus just got a week for the identical tackle that ANB got 4 weeks for, with one exception, the victim wasn’t concussed. That is pathetic in that penalty is now decided not by intent, or legality of action, but on any injury that occurs. 
    Punch a bloke in the face, which is an illegal act, but if victim not injured, result is a fine or 1 week. 
    This is ridiculous. 
    AFL now more concerned with staging.

    This nth/filth match is beyond a joke. The worst football I have seen in ages.

    What a joke

    4 weeks/1 week for the same action

    Corruption is the only word for it

    Couldn’t care less if it’s the worst match in the history of the game, if North get the win that’ll be awesome on so many levels!

    Magpies have the cue in the rack. Can’t even play well against North

    This was what Gil said after Burgoyne got away with the first tackle this year:

    AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan said the change would ensure the potential injury of a hazardous tackle would be taken into account by the match review officer when grading an incident.

    “We want to be clear; protection of the head is our highest priority and we want all players at all levels and age groups to better understand that these tackles shouldn’t be part of our game.

    “Dangerous tackles have the potential to cause head injuries, and it is essential that this is taken into account when assessing an incident under the AFL Tribunal guidelines.”

    What an absolute load of bull?!

    Corrupt is the only word.

    This is a terrible game of footy.

    The consistent this season is that C/Wood have been in many terrible games.

    Their game plan and personnel keep throwing up rubbish games.

    • 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.
