A Big Friday night game.

Who would have thought it would be the "last chance saloon" for these two teams so early in the season.

If GWS beat the Cats that is probably goodbye top 4 for the Great Ocean Road team

The rest of the round is rather humdrum but perhaps the Crows upsetting the Blues could round out the weekend.

    Oh can hawthorn just do a job on Essendon so there is more media focus on them and talk about reviews, players who aren't performing and just there team in general.

    Will they have another Horror Show against Footscray?

    Well we will lose top spot this weekend (for at least 12 hours)

    maybe even go down the desperate lows of 3rd spot

    The Lions will gain around 15% I'd say!

    Why? coz their players don't look after their bodies and train/recover correctly.  they have 17 injuries and would be able to cope with players out with covid for one week

    get a decent conditioning and high performance coach and get some standards

    I don't get this. They are missing 3 players because of covid. The rest are injuries. That happens in footy

    Port, Freo, Tigers, Swans, GWS, Essendon, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide. 
    I suck at tipping though, tend to let MFC’s best interests and my hatred of teams guide me, not wise.

    Yep just read that. Honestly you just shake your head. Just be sensible. I mean you are entitled to have a life but when your club can barely fill a team each week just use your brain

    With the exception of GWS v Cats this week looks reasonably straight fwd, but as we know there’s been at least 2 big upsets each week.

    Don't know what the go is with FTA broadcasting this round, but it appears that only three of the nine games will be on Channel 7 - one tonight and two tomorrow afternoon.  Looks like there is no Saturday night nor Sunday arvo games on FTA.

    Anybody have any idea why they aren't showing the customary four matches at the usual times?

    Now what did Arnold Schwarzenegger say in that movie where he played the robot, when the janitor came knocking on his motel room door?

    I imagine Channel 7's response would be along the same lines.

    Two friday night games.... OK I can try to get on board.  One in Perth so obviously start the Melb game at 7 and then the WA game starts at 9:30 (7:30pm local time) so no overlap yeah?

    Oooh no, AFlL decide to start the WA game at 6:40pm local time and have an entire half is overlapped with the other game.

    Why you ask??  good question!

    I don't think north will perform well even with Freo's outs but still.

    can anyone enlighten me?

    Well…for that reason and that reason alone, there should be no cancellation of the game. Let the players and the team reap what they’ve sowed!

    Powell-Pepper running through the banner with a baby, who looks about a week or 2 old? WTF?

    I never see the point of footballers running through the banner with their kids, but this is next level.

    No doubt the commentators are told to not question or say negative things about the umpires

    thats the only reasonable explanation

    • 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.
