If Port and GWS are serious their coaches should be sacked by tomorrow evening.  
Hinkley is in his tenth season as coach and Cameron in his ninth. Their teams respective efforts over the weekend when taking into consideration their exit from last years season as well as their opponents speaks volumes.

    For Port, are they now broken mentally after all the prelim loses and the smashing last year.

    one of the worst umpiring decisions you'll ever see. Never in a million years was that a dump tackle. hopefully won;t impact the result

    I said it last year watching the Game, Port absolutely [censored] the bed in that home Preliminary. Last night just makes it worse. 
    no one will fear them in Adelaide this year

    Well the Perth teams being putrid is certainly a good thing for our chances to keep Jackson long term. 
    Wanna go sit at the bottom half of the ladder for the next 5 years or want to win flags?

    A very talented list with really no guts. Very soft under any sort of pressure. 

    This could equally be referring to Port / Hinkley, or GW$ / Cameron.

    Good point, based on this match Jacko wouldn’t be playing finals for a while if he turned purple

    Same old story with Port. When the whips are cracking, too much is left to too few. Boak, Wines & Robbie Gray. And Gray's body is failing him. The likes of Rozee, Duursma & Butters are often lauded but until they become genuine contested midfielders, they'll remain icing on a crumbly cake.

    My footy tips also hate Freo

    April is going to be a very interesting month of Football.  A few side with Top 4 aspirations and a couple more to make the 8 could find their season over if they can't find some wins.  Bulldogs, Port, Essendon, GWS would not have expected to be winless after 2 rounds.

    I think they were broken before that, last season before they beat the Bulldogs in rd 23 they hadn’t beaten a top 8 side. I’m of the belief that both coaches have lost their players. I don’t want to sound arrogant but the only team that stands between us going back to back is the Swans.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • 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.
