Anyone ever seen 4 goals in 10 minutes from a player? Plugger would be happy with that

take away the minute in between goals and it’s 4 goals in 6 minutes if play. No feee kicks. 

what a freak. Best player of the last 30 years easily imo

    We’ve copped our fair share WCW, so I love it when a mate sends me stuff like this. They have the most arrogant supporters imo.

    Very impressed by this performance from Brisbane 

    Sydney are a good side being beaten by a better one.

    Lions are proving Sydney aren't quite at the level.

    Seeding:
    1. Melbourne
    2. Brisbane
    3. Fremantle
    4. St Kilda

    Western Bulldogs could make a Grand Final from anywhere in the eight.

    I don’t get the love for the Dogs. They hate pressure. They beat up on nothing sides and haven’t improved a single issue they’ve had last year, primarily their defense which is god awful. 
     

    Brisbane will absolutely challenge us. They have the only forwardline that will really push our defense. A strong midfield and a good defense. 
    Freo are another one I reckon could really challenge us. 

    St Kilda don’t have enough talent IMO but we will know more next week.

    Look mate, they’ve got their differences but that’s just love

    😂

    thought she had changed her name to Amber Teard?

    Bontempelli is either injured or being horribly misused by Beveridge. Should be a top 5 player in the comp and wouldn't be in the top 50 on performance this year

    Lions missed around 5-6 simple shots and were away from home. Daniher injured too

    felt like a 8 goal win. Lions not really troubled and would towel the swans up at home

    They are a very good team and were probably the biggest threat to us last season.  They are better again this year although I still think they concede too many big scores.  I like Freo defensively.  They need Fyfe up forward and kicking straight.

    The Worsfold - Rutten succession plan has been a resounding success thus far. 

    Apparently Rutten doesn't rate Goodwin a as coach.  Devastating for poor Goodie.

    I don’t think next week will tell us a lot, will be tough for them to back up Cairns, we also a chance of being underdone though due to Covid

    Cairns is putrid for humidity.

    Never been to Alice but no place on earth can possibly be as 'wet' as Cairns. 

    Try living at Daintree  100 k north. Maybe Tully 150 sth wettest place in Australia.

    For me i think Brisbane struggle against the better defensive sides, we showed in the qualifying final last year that if you take away their marks inside 50, they are so reliant on Cameron and it's just not enough. i honestly think this is why they've failed to make a grand final so far. 

    I think Freo defensively are good enough to restrict Brisbane but i have question marks over their fire power up forward, they're the most similar to us but i think they lack the pure quality we have in the midfield, the depth we have, and i think we have more fire power

    We play Port in Alice soon… so yeah, glass houses and all that.

    Why don't people check the facts?  They assume that because Alice is in the NT it has the same climate as Darwin (and Cairns).

    Alice is generally very dry, and the nights are cool / cold in mid winter.  Dew more likely to be an issue than rain / hot humidity.

    And the chances of Dew are 0.0013%

    Agree but Fyfe has never kicked straight and I can’t see that changing

    Why don’t people check the context of posts?

    They assume I was talking about the effing weather but I am actually talking about selling games to neutral venues that make it easier for clubs like Port to beat us.

    Lachie Neale is as good as his fellow players are on the Day.

    He is a constant talker to umpires, looking for favours, I would think. He is a ducker and a snipe by the way he plays. Maybe the umpires like that, I don't know. There are others, Mihocek Coll. Is another one, Selwood and Footscrays  Bontempelli are others, along with Coll Captain..

    Melb don't win Brownlows, Flower hardly ever talked to Umpires.

    I understand the need for Umpires to talk to players and transfer interpretation.This has been going on for a while though.

    • 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.
