Yes I know, they are struggling against a side with 15 out

It would indeed be a disgrace to lose this game. But we lost to Adelaide and Collingwood last year.

You can't build a forward line around Chol and Casboult. They are terrible.

Not sure they planned on King doing his ACL. But yes their back up talls are borderline AFL quality. 
Outside of Miller and Rowell they aren’t much chop, which is confusing because they’ve had 198 first round draft picks.

    Of course they'll lose.

    Fair enough unexpected losses will happen I agree, but just about every player on our list would have to catch covid at once to lose to the rabble I’m watching at the moment!

    This is bang bang bang but neither team has a sweeper right now!

    Thought this an hour ago, but the only thing that would prevent Gold Coast from winning this match was their kicking for goal. Should have been 20 points up halfway through the third.

    NicNac is Benjamin Buttoning the ruck position, he’s gone from the most exiting with his athleticism to turn back the clock to the 80s and 90s plodders who had lots of ruck taps and sweet f all else.

    Have enjoyed Powell's work (no.27) tonight for the Gold Coast. Strong mark and good foot skills.

    No ... it was Jack Fitzpatrick.

    Suns should hold from here at our 2nd home.


    It's an absolute travesty there aren't 60,000 WC fans inside Optus to witness this.

    Great finish by Gold Coast. Eagles clearly ran out of legs but GC played well. 

    Good to see Matt Rowell back in action. Touk Miller is a star.

    playing in mid twenties heat away from home off a 6 day break, we have a major advantage next Sat

    • 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.
