  • No offence Melbourne fans reading this, this all the hallmarks of a mid-season coach firing.
  • If May doesn't get up we should win it easily IMO.
  • Looking at both forward lines it could end up the lowest score in AFL history.
  • The Cairn's catastrophe was where we took Melbourne's last glimmer of finals hope last season and flushed it down the toilet.
  • Max Gawn likely to do battle with the inexperienced Lloyd Meek. If Meek can just not get absolutely smashed by Gawn then we are in with a good chance.
  • Gawn best on. Tabs will be double teamed by May and Lever all day.
  • Lever seems to be made of the same brittle substance as Sturt.
  • Unfortunately, I think Melbourne win this by 2-4 goals. Too many injuries and no forward line for us.
  • I'll be very surprised if we kick 65 points.
  • They also have no forward line at the moment only Mcdonald who looks very ordinary now days and Fritsch.
  • The hype-train has us playing finals. If that's going to be the case, this game is a 'must win'.
  • The biggest error the club made in the last 5 years was trading for Hogan instead of picking Ben King at the draft.
  • It is highly likely this weekend's AFLW game between the same two clubs will have a bigger scoreline than Melb v Freo in Rd 1.
  • I don't think that either team is going to do much damage in 2021 .... except to their supporters.
  • Melbourne are trash! I hate to say it but If we lose to them we are in the back alley right alongside them!
  • I think we should be good enough to beat Melbourne. Their pre-season has been awful and I don’t see any growth coming in that list from last year. We should win.

    Normal insular comments from a supporter group. To be expected and certainly no worse than those on here who post that we are top 4 material.

    The first comment was a beauty and spot on. Goodwin would be looking for a real estate agent if Freo rolls us this weekend as I think they might.

    I don't think too much of that is wrong to be totally honest.. 

    Realistically it's hard to see either team scoring a whole lot, Gawn is likely to dominate the ruck but we've seen that doesn't mean we will do anything with that dominance. 

    I think our best chance is to play Petracca forward quite a lot. pound for pound he's our best avaliable forward, and we've gotta hope Clarry, Gus and Harmes can get on top in the middle.

    I love it. Footys back and so comes all the rubbish that goes with it. 

    For some reason as a member/supporter you do take offence when really you have almost zero responsibility for how the result will turn out. Likewise, it's absolutely great to give my mates a heap of [censored] when their team is hopeless.

    - Christian Salem is going to give us #3rd degree burns off half back, if we don't put a clamp on him

    I like the AFLW comment. Probably true.

    They must be writing their own articles over there! Have not heard this once!

    Would love to see Clarry pushed into the Forward line for resting spurts if his shoulders are up to it.

    I would love to see these pre-match supporter comments from the opposition re-visited at the end of the year, with awards for comedy, delusion and grammar.  Colingwoad sure to be very short in the latter market.

    Really?  I thought it was quite decent when we beat Richmond despite having half a dozen of our first team sidelined.  I do agree that we were smashed by the Doggies, but Fremantle don't have anywhere near that level of class on their list.

    For a team that has been pretty poor and had a mediocre season their supporters are surprisingly optimistic.

    I will be bitterly disappointed if we lose this game given their outs and the fact it's at the G.... don't let me down Dees

    I know it's dining out on past glories but we have 12 premierships cups in our trophy cabinet. How many does Freo have? That's right. NONE. Losers

    Because of that statement, BDA, you may have now sentenced us to lose against Freo. How could you have been so thoughtless?

    • 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.

      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.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      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.
