Cats never miss an opportunity to boost their percentage. Always keep their foot on the throat. It's a lesson we could do with learning

    Yeah well if we had a home ground advantage, and were gifted players like Dangerfield and Cameron we probably would do it.

    Home advantage does make a big difference. Same with West Coast at Optus.

    2 teams I can not stand because they do what they do so consistently:

    Geelong playing like millionaires at home, and 
    The Eagles lacking soul away from home.

    Its been the same for 30 years.

    Eagles should just take the forfeit and save their energy instead of travelling. Fair dinkum letting this Geelong side put this score on the board is embarrassing.

    Imagine if we had an exclusive awkward shaped home ground susceptible to crappy weather and only play interstate and crappy sides at it. We could pencil in an average of a half dozen extra wins a season.

    What ever happens tonight, it’s now factually incorrect that we haven’t beaten anyone of note.

    Geelong are a reigning grand finalist who just beat a contender by 97 pts, and we kept them to 60pts at the G. It was a win full of merit.

    People should now be called out on this narrative if they continue to accuse us of it, if things go south tonight.

    You can only play who your fixtures against.  We have Beaton sides that have Beaton more fancied sides that what we are.  My concern for team development is winning is a habit.  We have shown we pushed we can steady and pull away from sides.

    And geelong mauling of the eagle smakes the Bulldogs wins look less meritorious: Wins:  Pies +16, WCE, +7, NM +128, BL +19, Suns +62 all at Mars/Marvel excdept Pies at the G.  Yet to play a team inside the 8.

    No doubt the Bulldogs are good but not as good as their undefeated run suggests.  Downhill skiers, beating up on the lesser teams; small wins vs last year's finalists.  Their test is yet to come.

    The Suns v Swans game shows that you can't rate a team or club on the performances rounds 1-6. It is rounds 7-12 where things begin to settle, new talent emerges, and those teams building for the finals start to look strong. There is also usually a late bolter for the finals.

    Rankine is SO over-rated. A few good games in 1 season and all the commentators are gushing. 

    Suns are better than everyone thinks, but still not great. 

    Swans came out of the blocks hard. A few injuries and they come right back to the pack. They have talent, and a great coach, but it is a long season for such a young list.

    I hate Geelong.

    I like the Eagles under Simpson, but they are simply unreliable. Their stars are going missing too often.

    Nic Nat better than Gawn. Hahahahahahaha!!

    Their best stars are getting old, not that has slowed down the cats either.  We'll see a mini-rebuild soon to sustain them.  Their massive home grand advantage almost ensures they play finals every year.  Look at last year, couldn't win a game in the hub but still made finals after regrouping.

    I'm so torn on who I want to see win today in the big game. I like seeing essendon lose and with the pies going the way they are to see them lose would be even better and see Buck's demise just get worse. 

    Maybe a draw would be the best outcome.

    Nice high scoring game at Launceston

     

    Melbourne doesnt get a chance to kick big scores as we play in the wet every week.  Would be nice to play in dry weather for once.

    High scoring but some of the loosest footy I have seen in a long time. It's like Clarkson is using the Hawthorn side as some sort of experimental rabbit. Last weeek defensive and today as loose as guts.

    • 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.

    • 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.
