This game was not as important as the Swans losing, but wonderful to see the umpires lose a game they tried to win.

Good weekend.

    OMG the Bont free kick situation has got completely out of hand

    I only saw a few minutes but that last gift goal was an absolute travesty - dropped the ball in a tackle then gifted the free.

    You know the Bont is winning the Brownlow just by how much the umpires love and protect him

    This isn't as good a result for us as people think.

    If we go 2-1 from here and the Dogs go 2-0, the Dogs will finish above us - even with this loss, we still have to win all three games, and/or the Dogs have to lose to Hawthorn or Port (in Melbourne), for us to finish above them.

    It's certainly possible (Port's in form, for example), but it's still not that likely.

    But Essendon's win puts them in pole position to finish in the top 8, particularly if we beat West Coast tomorrow (Essendon has the percentage buffer over all their competitors).

    Last night I said GWS had given up on the season.

    Today I said the bombers looked horrific.

    And, last week I said how glad I was that Peter Wright didn’t come to us.

    Im on a roll folks!

    this weekend has shown the teams playing for finals spots are dangerous opponents. WCE are in danger of dropping out so we have to bring our A game. A slow start is not acceptable tomorrow

    You do realise that Essendon have an easy last 2 games and will probably make finals now and we have to put up with there arrogant fans. They are actually not a bad team & could cause some trouble.

    Bont clearly has won the Brownlow. Umpires fawn over the bloke. It’s sickening.

    If Clarry got the same love he would win it this year with the highest votes EVER

    Nah. Don't stress. 2 meter Peter will never play a game like that again and the bombers wouldn't kick as straight again. They'll do nothing in finals

    100% HTB  No grey area. But even if not HTB, dangerous tackle?! Is that ump for real?

    So some people are already celebrating top spot and we have not even played yet. And top spot means nothing until the end of the final series.

    Did we just Steven Bradbury to spot? 

    We haven't done anything yet.

    First we have to win tomorrow. That puts us on top.

    Then we have to outdo Geelong and the Bulldogs by a game, because we'll only be half a game in front.

    So, if we beat West Coast tomorrow, and then Adelaide, but lose to Geelong, both Geelong and the Dogs will pass us unless they lose another game (which requires Geelong to lose to St Kilda, or the Dogs to lose to Hawthorn or Port).

    • 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.
