    It's party time again for the key forwards. Ben Brown will kick bags of goals for us

    I was referring to the kangas. Collingwood are still a dangerous team and no easy beats.

    Ah right.  Missed the thread sequence sorry

    A decent game this between the Crows and the Suns. Both teams have improved a lot. Adelaide will be tough to beat when we play them over there.

    Both teams are ‘full effort’ sides much more so than they have been in recent seasons 

    Still reckon they will both by bottom six at the end of the year tho

    GC are close to being a very good side, but they keep getting serious injuries

    Suns are young and brittle. Crows too reliant on a resurgent Texan. 
    Both teams can’t sustain it for 4 quarters vs good teams.
    We should have the measure of both.

    ”should...” I know.

    What was the deal with us and Ben King again?  He's one amazing prospect and delivering the goods a fair chunk of the time.  Lovely kick also

    The Suns bomb it to the same spot far too often and too many are going up for the mark also.  Remind you of anyone recently?

    I thaught that was a dreadful game. Neither side knew how to properly attack with the ball ( especially GC ). Adelaide were able to run off the poor decision making by GC when going forward and capitilise with their disorganised defence.

    hm, i'd say their bottom six are pretty much all below even being 'good, ordinary' players

    Ouch, I just opened the AFL app to see what happened. This could be the beginning of the end for North if they aren’t careful. 

    They’ve almost certainly lost the Good Friday game for next year, they will be a terrible team for at least the next couple of years and after pushing so hard for it you can’t put up such an insipid performance. 

    We’ve been there, it really sucks. 

    They'll keep good Friday if they get a crowd (& TV), the score isn't as important. but like when people were talking about taking Queens birthday off us, we always got a good crowd even when crap.

    There is also the another game on the same day now, so it is not the only focus, which will help them retain it. 

    In saying all that, a crowd of 28k is not good for a public holiday Friday.

    I just want to say that Collingwood should be ashamed of themselves.  More than usual, that is.  61 Hitouts to 4.  24 to advantage vs 1.  With that sort of dominance out of the middle they should have been all over Brisbane, but they barely won the clearances and they utterly failed to capitalise on them.

    Its the same Suns just a slightly improved one.  They come out of the blocks looking pretty decent and fresh early but in the end they're mostly a meat & potatoes club with a sprinkling of talent.  The bulk just aren't up to the contest even against the mediocre teams.

    Good effort but in the end they lose too many crucial one on ones, especially through the middle, while continuing to bomb it long to the same spots about 30 to 40 out from goal making it too easy for the opp to defend inside 50.

    Over a decade of plowing millions of dollars in to this mob and they still haven't won a match in Adelaide.  What a rediculous waste of resourcez and time by Gil & Co.  Would rather see a Tassie team in any day for GWS & GC.  Tassie Govt should follow through with their threat to cancel the Hawks & North arrangement if the AFL doesn't come to the party and do us all a favour.

    Suns are still a bit too reliant on their older/reject players like Greenwood, Ellis, Witts, Harbrow, etc.

    Their midfield still needs work and depth and they need to wait two or three years for King and Lukosius to come on. Dew is doing a good job with them though.

    I am not sure who the main commentator for the adelaide/suns clash is ( maybe that Dwayne Russell type ) but every time that blinking Walker goes near the ball he has absolute multiples. He is worse than Mcevany.

    For the Suns to really improve they’re just so reliant on Rowell being healthy. He’s a gun and it’s a travesty to not see him on the park as often as his talent should allow.

    They used to destroy us when we were a basket case.  Didnt they beat us by 130  something points around 2012?   Their supporters loved it, openly mocked us.

    Hope they're even worse than what they have shown today the next decade.  Thought they will be in Tassie long before that could happen.

    Round 18 2013, 122 points, same venue.

    And didn't they win a ridiculous number of games against us in a row?  Something like 18?  One of the last "hoodoos" we had to break was beating them.

    North can suffer in their jocks as far as I'm concerned.

    I will say that towards us North fans had a ridiculous amount of arrogance for a team that has achieved exactly nothing in the last 20 years.

    • 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.
