    Suns should give it a shake at least in the first half

    Let's see if there are any colli-wobbles

    My MFCSS has settled in - if Suns win I wont get excited as Port have nothing to play for next week so Pies should win

    Yes good point.

    I forgot next week is a dead rubber for Port. 

    Takes the sizzle out of tonights game now.

    What was that Free to Grundy?  Most of their set shots on goal have come from free kicks or chains from frees.  The AFL want them in the finals at almost any cost no doubt.

    what about the blatent HTB not paid?!?  even the commentators couldn't believe it

    Free kicks 7-3. I'm sure it will continue to expand in collingwoods favour until the last quarter to even it up

    to argue against myself - there will be a bye and Port will want to take good form into finals

    How interesting would it be if tonight’s game was a draw?

    Collingwood loss is much more preferable. There's enough scenarios going on

    Suns are having a real crack

    Another free kick, another goal to the pies

    but the ones they aren’t paying are unbelievable. Pendlebury just dropped it in a tackle. FMD

    Two more HTBs...incorrect disposal.  One definitely had prior in the middle.

    What is the point of having tackles if you are not going to reward perfect tackles where the opponent incorrectly disposes the ball?

    This is NOT football being played to the rules as they were intended.

    The AFL really have ruined the game as we once knew it.

    New rule. If tackled drop the ball.

    A little pet peeve of mine with the game of AFL, when the whistle gets blown for a free kick all the players stop and when it happens a player from the team that wins the free kick bursts away giving that team an insanely huge advantage. Yes if that player then goes onto kick it then it's 50m penalty but by stopping the play with the whistle you stop all momentum or ability for the defensive team to do their jobs because their focus is who's go the free kick.

    It's something I like in Rugby union where instead of calling or whistling the free kick they put their arms out to acknowledge the action and let the play continue.

    Blatant , clear as day holing the ball.

    How the hell do they not see them??

    Or is it a conscious decision not to pay them??

    The filth have got this ... sadly.

    When Greenwood (aka Matthew Newton) gets the ball, does he ever not turn it over?

    True. They also have a mortgage on HTB decisions.

    • 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.

      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.
