Not including hyphenated surnames, the only past or current player with more syllables in his surname that I can think of is Robert DiPierDomenico.

    Bulldogs have no ticker, so if the Roos can keep the heat on and prevent the Dogs from having it all on their terms, they could well have a shot - probably too far back though after that joke of a 1st quarter.

    Kangas with 4 in a row. Doggies players looking confused and frustrated with the free kick count going against them. Unusual territory for them.

    Edit - 5 in a row

    It's like the umpires feel they have to pay a free in every marking contest.

    North showing up one of the Dogs weaknesses - defensive running. As soon as the Roos get gut run running forward from contested ball, 2-3- Dogs players plod on behind with little real effort. The dogs talent is way over and above the Roos, but the effort of the young Roos boys is great to watch. It is going to take some time but I love what Noble is doing - taking the hard hits and losses but basing a team on defensive contested play.

    AFL have offered the Royal Children Hospital $100 for every Free paid today. Umps doing their bit.

    I reckon no matter how far the dogs get in front, no team will think they're out of it as long as they can arrest momentum and make the dogs run the other way.

    Horne - Francis looks very good. I know people will slag them off, but North is tracking in the right direction imo

    "honourable loss' coming up

    Actually .... I withdraw prediction about "honourable loss". Looks like carnage.

    North Melbourne's sub looks 12 years old. He's still taller than Caleb Daniel though.

    This Good Friday ‘blockbuster’ is taking the theme of penance too literally. I don’t know what we all did wrong, but it was obviously really, really bad.

    Id rather watch Hawkins remove his mouthguard after being awarded a free kick in front of goal.

    Well nearly

    They've conjured up a game that's less interesting than the Good Friday appeal.

    But …. it is “traditional” …. after what, 4 years 🤦‍♂️

    It's a strange recipe of pity mixed with ambivalence, with a sprinkle of "why don't they just give up and fold"?

    Maybe they will head off to Tassie and save us all the absurdity and inequity  of a bye every week.

    Unwatchable.

    I think I might watch an old Carry On movie ... Either that or watch paint dry.

    It's on such days that it is best to relive the glory of the GF replay ... from the 13 minute mark of the third quarter of course preferably with Dennis Commetti's commentary

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      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.
