We could be playing West Coast this week who have 17 out and our supporters would still be making a case for the Eagles to get up!

    37 point win, including resting some stars in the final 10 minutes.

    Relaxing evening to come 

    For so long as we are going into games with four first choice defenders out, including Lever and Salem, we are going to be at risk of conceding scores when we otherwise wouldn't.

    We did great against the Dogs last week but that was in prime conditions, not in slippery tropical conditions.

    And although we have come off one of the best seasons any side has had in the last 21 years, we dropped games to Adelaide and Collingwood and drew with Hawthorn, as roaring favourites each time.

    There's no objective reason to be concerned. We're the best team in the competition. But we won't get through this year without losing games.

    If it’s wet, that bodes well for us. We are a contested team, whilst the Suns like to run (not as easy to do on a heavy ground).

    Having Lever and Salem missing is a huge hole in our team. They are 2 of the best defenders in the league so any win without both of them is worth it. I hope Lever is ready next week. Also Petty is a valuable CHB and having him out is a blow.

    We should win and although the Suns might be plucky and playing at home, I’m feeling somewhat more confident knowing the team had a run on the ground last night, with rain - so basically the same conditions as tonight I imagine. Let’s hope we can crack in like last week and take the game away from them, and then keep going with it.

     

    I live between Brisbane and the Gold coast and sun is out but plenty of clouds around. Will be going down later and just hope the weather stays OK. Any storms later should be out west away from coast Looking forward to seeing them live again. Should win by at least 30 points.

    We are reigning premiers yet we get shunned to Foxtel. I know port are a top team to, maybe they wanted to put the Hawks on because of Mitchell. Anyway I'm happy to watch it and free

    Yes  gone are the days Id lament the wet weather and how it worked against us.

    We thrived in all slippery conditions last year with ground ball gets and even contested marking.

    Bring it on,

    Your poor old Uncle Bitter had planned to give Metricon a boost by attending in person. Unfortunately ........you know.. circumstances changed..... and spectating shall take place in the The Manor's modest theatrette. Hopefully in the company of an immodest maid.

    While the Suns have some very handy up and comers , and may even, finally, become competitive they will be no match for the Dees.

    A comfortable 39 point victory beckons.

    Agree Uncle.

    Ill be taking the 1-39 pts on offer, as it seems early in the season the Dees just get out there and get the job done. We will leave the thrashings for the Cold Pies later in the season when we have a fit and firing full implement of troops. It will be wet as well i would imagine.

    47 point win with everyone talking about how we would have won by 80 if not for the repeated 50's gifted to GCS by the maggots.

    Sunny here at the moment. Hopefully the rain holds off.

    Rain bands to both the West & Sth at the moment, but neither seems to be moving at the moment.  Might get lucky!

    • 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.
