As I said. Something is NQR. I can’t put my finger on it. Is everyone in this side just in it for the cash? They seem so devoid of passion. Greene that dweeb is the only player with genuine passion but he’s a tool who can’t keep himself away from suspension. 

I know exactly what you mean. It's like the majority of the players wish they had  been drafted to another club but have accepted their fate. Like its genuinely just a job to most of them.

They really should have won 2 premierships with the talented list they have.

    The 1000 goal game was a myth this week as we all know but they couldn't stop promoting it.

    With 4 goals still to go I doubt Buddy will crack it next week either against Geelong (Friday night prime time of course).

    Perhaps against the Bulldogs at Docklands the following week

    I dunno. On paper they are so talented but I don’t rate their coach. They’ve had a gun team for so long but something is just NQR. 

    Why isn’t Cameron under more scrutiny?  Probably something to do with the “free press” and AFL media licensing.

    Soulless GW$, after more than decade, nobody even living in Greater Western Sydney gives a toss about them. 
    This is why there is so much Gambling Advertising shoved down our throats.

    I am not taking too much from the game. A rivalry has built up so they will often put in their best efforts. Commentary was sending me nuts so I had to turn over and watch Lanning bat for half the time. 

    Brissy I think are the ones to watch as are port so  will keep a close interest to that game.

    I liked that decision. Disposed of it cleanly despite spinning like a top, so it wasn't an effective tackle. 
    It makes the umpires job easier.

     

    This game is terrible so far. Skills atrocious

    Early days but neither Brisbane (my early tip for GF opponent) or Port look anywhere near top 4 material based on the first quarter of this game.

    They don't have to be "effectively" tackled. For a legal tackle they only have to be held, body or jumper.

    For how long? That's the key to the interpretation. For simplicity, I am happy for a tackle to be considered ineffective if it doesn't prevent the player from legally disposing the ball.

    Seen it happen at least 3 times this round and not paid

     

    That said, saw a 360 paid last night with game on the line! Love the consistency…

    prior: must dispose immediately

    no prior: within a "reasonable" time

    Not a shot at you, but the concept of "interpretation" of the rules is bogus and should be removed from the game.

    I can't stand Joe Daniher - constantly with his hands outstretched pleading for the free. Why not just win the ball mate?

    By various interpretations of "immediately", Trac was holding the ball when Bont tackled him in the last passage of play in the 3rd quarter of the GF. He disposed of the ball, but was it "immediately"?

    Immediately is inherently subject to interpretation, because it ranges from planck time through to human reaction time through to a second through to…whatever.

    Well he was held then kneed in the head - definitely play on

    This is one bizarre game.

    It's hard going from the GWS v Sydney game to this.

    well - not really

    even if we'd nominated him there was no way gw$ wouldn't match the bid

    and if they hadn't we wouldn't have dogga and i'll definitely take dogga over the mini-clayton that is tom green

    Perhaps, although as already mentioned, GWS may have been happy to snap up Dogga. I'm sure glad we did.

    I think i'll wait until after Buddy kicks his 1,000th goal before I watch Sydney play again. It'll be a great feat for sure but i'm already over the commentators incessantly talking about it.

    • 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.
