So gold coast managed to do what we couldn't do last week. Beat the giants. 

Giants are just shooting there season in the foot here

 

As much as I despise the expansion clubs, I have to take my hat off to Gold Coast. I hate the modern terminology of a team's "brand", but you can actually see a definite system of play emerging. Can't believe I am saying this, but I actually enjoy watching them.

Swans wearing South Melbourne guernseys. Nice touch. Just remembered that I walked past the old Brunswick Street Oval at lunchtime today and there was a junior girls game on with one side wearing the old Fitzroy guernseys.

You need a lie down 

It's important to the future of the game that GCS have some success. All those Auskick kids up there drowning out the Ausbiff kids or Austhump (or whatever the RL equivalent is) have to have something to aspire to. They're the future.


Quite like the headline on the match report on the AFL website........

Suns rise on Mars

Dogs Swan's game does have a bit of a Retro look to it.

The first time the dogs kicked it deep I was half expecting to see Rod Carter take a mark in the goal square.

Yeah, that's right. He used to cop so much [censored] from opposition fans sitting behind the goals. 

Sydney having a dip here at Marvel. Played an impressive 1st qtr and are capable of winning this.

Being at the venue, the roof should always be open on overcast mild days like today. I don’t agree with the 100% roof closed policy.

I am still dark Simmons isn’t in the olympics, Delly, Mills, Simmo etc could really give it a shake if they wanted.

don't need someone who misses 100% of the shots he doesn't take; aussie matty t will help power us to a medal

No masks required at seats.

Syndey dominating uncontested disposal and marks which is a good recipe for winning a game.

Stewie Dew is too good of a coach not to have a clear bit of brand/dna/team values/mission statement/vision statement/actionable item/a ha moment/blue sky thinking/competitive advantage/core competencies/deep dive/key take aways and lazer focus for his team not to play well some of the time. 

 

Seriously good player Dawson, probably in the top 3 for kicking in the AFL.

 

A great game of footy between Dogs and Swans, Swans looking really good. 

Docklands seems far less soulless with the roof open I think. Perhaps the key is to pencil in all daytime games for the 3.20pm time slot when the sun is lower in the sky to negate the so called glare problem.

  • 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.
