Tomorrow, I will be 100% behind Clarko and the Hawks to pull off the upset of the year. 

And on Monday, I’ll be going for the Suns to beat the Pies.

    Hawks can win for sure, Dogs are hardly world beaters.

    There’s also a terrific game coming up on Friday night when GWS Giants play St Kilda at the Gabba where a win to the Giants will mean that we have the opportunity to overtake the Saints if we can beat the Bombers and make up percentage. It could be a nail biting weekend coming up.

    Hawthorn is tripe though.

    Still, we've seen Adelaide beat GWS and Sydney beat us over the last 10 days, so bad sides can get up to win games.

    IMO the bigger danger for the Dogs is Fremantle.

    Yeah Hawks have been terrible, they got back McEvoy, O'Meara and Burgyoyne for this game which hopefully helps them a bit.

    As you say anything can happen.

    Wishful thinking to expect Hawthorn to beat the Bulldogs who are coming off a very benevolent draw which has seen them stay in Queensland for quite a while and with a recent bye, all of which ensures that they have plenty of petroleum in their tank. They have all the incentive to win today and should do it easily against the Hawks who gave up caring a little while ago.

    Hogan kicked 4 today. Wish we had someone capable of doing that for us!

     

    I hope we get him back to the club.   Weidemans last few weeks after showing improvement is a real worry and Luke Jackson may not be a key forward.

    The ideal scenario would be gold coast somehow beating the pies and then port beating them then the pies miss finals and us and the dogs take the final spots.

    But as much as I like the dogs it would be so good if the hawks could win today.

    Need some Clarko genius today

    Problem is if Hawks beat Dogs we’re in 8 and back in control of our run to finals...

     

    ... and we all know what’ll happen next. ?

    Sometimes i think the lower sides that have been losing and suddenly start showing some form, are harder to defend against

    Crows are on a roll: thrashing Carlton.  That might change but they have a big 5 goal lead!

    Glad we played Crows when we did.

    Thanks for screwing up my 6 game multi Blues. 

    And to think some on here thought the Blues had flown past us

    We've got our own problems but wouldn't supporting Carlton do your head in. You may as well skip the 1st quarter and watch the game from there. In a positive I've got a head to head bet with my Carlton mate. Dees to finish above Carlton an Fritsch to kick more goals than Betts. It's taken the length of the season but I got there.

    Jeez the Crows are really doing a number on Carlton right now.

    Crows pressure and tackling is elite. If Dees could do that we'd be a way better side. I think we're the 16th ranked pressure side in the comp.

    Quick, fly these Crows back to the Adelaide Oval.

    • 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.
