Are these umpires [censored]-ing blind? This game is getting like soccer, which I will not watch unless it's the socceroos, because of the diving. Even then it [censored]-es me off when the socceroos do it.

    And I support each of them in this endeavour.

    Hoping for an Essendon win today.

    Deflates the Collingwood bubble and gives one the joy of seeing Essendon followers get false hope.

    Mixed over Hawks v Sydney but marginally desiring a Hawthorn win. Draw would be nice

    Hawks winning is better for us because Sydney is a bigger threat. I also want the players to go into next week knowing that we have to really go hard as Hawks are not a walkover.

    It's one of those games where you're dirty that one team will have a win but ecstatic that one of them will lose.

    A draw would be my preferred result with both teams feeling like they missed out.

    edit:  I'm talking about the Collingwood v Essendon game.

    Early days, but a very slick start by the Hawks.

    Lance gets a fair run with the umps these days. I've watched him throw two handballs and a shaky free kick for a shot on goal.

    Hawthorn have been fast starters & guess what they kick accurately. Something we need to be ready for

    Was thinking the same Dees. I'm sure Goody is all over it.

    I will be interested whether the Hawks Use this attacking game style against us next week. They will likely man up in defence and rely upon clearances to score. It will be difficult to beat us at this game but the Hawks midfielders usually rove Gawns taps pretty well so there is a possibility.

    it’s a young side too so hopefully pressure on the ball carrier will result it a high turnover style game which is what we like.

    I dislike Essendon and pies in equal measure well almost but a draw in that game would be good. Knock draw out brawl would be great so that they are behind the 8 ball next week.

    I know it's some strange sort of reasoning but I'm hoping the Hawks win so they lose next week.

    Feel so unclean.

    How good was that footage of Josh Kennedy going of his rocker next to Longmire, apple doesn't fall far, just like his grandfather.

    I reckon we could do worse than entice him to the club after he retires

    I see the Hawks have gone all out with their Anzac Day guernsey design. 🙃

    • 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.

    • 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.
