Any game decided by less than a goal is worth watching. That was so exciting!

Would have preferred an Adelaide win

Yeah Freo could easily be 4-0 with their draw. 

Umpires tried hard but well done Freo.

    Freo’s Jordan Clark kicked a super goal in Q2 which he started from halfback, followed up and finished beautifully.   Hope he goes well and the Cats rue not playing him last year which may have precipitated his exit. 

    Great away win by Freo.   They have quite a bit of talent at Cockburn.  A few early season injuries to negotiate but a 2022 improver for sure.

    At least this has been a good round with evenly matched sides going up against each other. 
    Essendon aside, highest winning margin is ours at 26 points so far.

    GC$ over WCE could give it a push.  

    Inane comments and a truly grating voice.  Can anyone cite any positives?

    Don't know why but I am interested for the eagles and suns game. With the eagle injury list one would think that the suns should win but how often do we see a developing side play against an undermanned home side and still come up short.

    I presume the sparse crowd is due to covid restrictions

     

    Gold Coast will never ever have a better opportunity to win interstate than tonight.

    Dunno Jaded. I'll never quite erase the Balme to Neeld years. The Balme years are actually underrated in my view for their absolute awfulness.

    Kennedy gives away a free. Swears. No 50. 
    Kennedy gets out marked and encroaches on the mark. No 50. 
    Umpiring going beautifully as per usual.

    If suns can’t beat this eagles side they might as well hand the keys to Clarkson tomorrow

    Stadium has 50% limit there, besides WC has heaps of fair weather supporters

    Suns skill level horrible. Hard yakka when every disposal puts your team mate under the pump. Weagles will win this with half their firsts missing because they seem to be much better drilled.


    Umps paying free kicks against the Eagles. How novel

    I’m not watching WC v GC but quickly looked at stats on afl.com.  They credit GC with 13 scoring shots from 19 inside 50s for 4.3.  Is that a mistake or have they kicked 6 OOB?

    He’s elite at the buffet stats, that’s for sure.

    Just got home and switched on the box to find GC are getting pantsed by WC reserves. As a sporting non entity they'd be up there with the Jacksonville Jaguars in the NFL.

    Gee Jayden Stephenson is a liability.

    I have actually found the game entertaining but these two teams are bottom 4 for sure. Sullied by the incredibly poor skill level and Hawthorn winning.

    Along with Polec, an absolute dud on good coin. I feel for Norf . . . we were them not so long ago. Taking the crumbs off the table.

    If these 2 teams win more than 10 games between them this season I would be shocked.

    Norf will win more games than Whorethorn IMHO. There are some good young players on their list. Not so many down at Gold Taps Grove,.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?
