Doesn’t look good now…

Yeah he might not last the week. They were still a chance for the 8 and they’ve produced this.

    The GC result is pleasing but scary at the same time.

    Pleasing if they beat Brisbane, which helps us.

    Scary as we have to play them next week.

    Hopefully that will mean we don't take them lightly.

    Just a matter of when rather than if. Can't totally blame him in a way, that panel he has looks like a very very weak one, but he's the boss so he pays the cost.

    I really thought they would chase Clarko hard, but he has said so many times that he is not leaving,  that I now wonder if it is Ross Lyon.

    Media saying we can’t play them next week because of COVID quarantine issues. They could get stronger with the return of Holman and Ellis later in the year.  Anyway we have to beat them whenever we play, if we want to end up top 2.

    In a weird way, not the worst time to be looking for a new coach, there's some (seemingly) good options around. Personally think Brad Scott would be a good fit for the Blues, but media saying he's the front runner for the Pies job.

    Yeah that it. If they continue and knock off Brisbane, the less likely we are to take them lightly

    Go gold coast. It would be great if they could win. Also be handy if the saints could knock of west coast. 

    Gee a bit surprised by how easily nth beat Carlton. They have had a few good weeks the blues. A shame nth couldn't produce that performance last week but I guess having Cunnington back makes a difference.

    Can I just say, the way umpires are officiating the holding the ball rule is a blight on the game. I guarantee tonight we'll be pulling our hair out at the lack of holding the ball.

    No, we will be pinged relentlessly in a millisecond, while the Digs will throw the ball and hold it while tackled with impugnity.

    Why should anything change.

    The GC have been slaughtered in the 3rd quarter by the umpires and their pathetic disposal. It is beyond belief how bad it has been this quarter.

    They need one quarter like their first 2 and they can still win.

    And in 20 seconds into the last the GC Captain kicks it to a Lion in their goal square. Unbelievable. Really inspiring.

    Just switched on.. how is the greatest player to ever play, according to commentators- Rankin going?

    They were very slow out of the blocks to say the least but my goodness they are putting on a clinic now.

    This is the real lions and a worry when on especially smoking Joe.

    • 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.
