Get the feeling Rutten isn't going to last at bomberland.

Maybe the players are playing for Lord Jimmy, and not Ben, or the club. ย They just hope he can bring an injection of enthusiasm (or at least an injection of something). ๐Ÿ™„

The ladder is really interesting. It is completely clear that only two teams have any idea about defence โ€“ of course, we are one of them.

so lovely to see Geelong on the slide.

 

Rutten will start getting described as 'not Essendon enough' soon and that is the path to the door.ย

And on that note...I wonder how Matthew Knights feels about the current situation...

I know we would be a different side without Petracca or Oliver but is there a team more reliant on one player than Richmond is on Dusty?

Dylan Sheil copping plenty on Bomber Blitz, what happened?

Has anyone ever seen that bloke smile?

Barely touched the ball.ย  Just seemed to strut around.

Parker took the mickey out of him with a shoulder shrug jig after kicking a goal after Sheil fumbled the ball.ย  The jig suggesting Shiel is frightened to go in hard for the ball.

Quite funny!

So much support there for sledging.ย  A fine example to juniors.

Cant agree Sue sorry but a bloke who is on megabucks is deemed to be not going hard enough cops it, I reckon thats fair enough

shiel is signed on big, big money til the end of 2024 and doesn't look like an afl level player

he can ONLY play in the midfield and his effort and impact is not even close to being good enough at the moment

peptides in a world of pain...such a shame

No.


Too much to ask for a GC, GWS, Melbourne Trifecta?

Apart from the Parker incident, there was also a point in the game where one of his team mates (I think it was Redman) was absolutely paying out on Shiel for not doing his share in defending.

Shame I'm not doing tipping this year, it looks like I'm 6/6 so far.

Very happy to see St Kilda beat Geelong yesterday. Looks like the slide is on!

I agree with some others on here that it looks as though the 8 is set. I'm just hoping both Geelong and Richmond draw eachother in an Elimination Final so as to take care of one of themselves.

And my early pick is St Kilda to take a top 4 spot along with us Fremantle and Brisbane. I thought they gave the best 4 quarter effort of any team against us last week.

Hoping Suns can get the job done today, not much of a crowd by the looks of things.

Theyโ€™re in the game just so panicked kicking inside 50, many times now theyโ€™ve bombed off one step to no-one when they had far more time!

The Suns having a dip. Unlike the Crows last night i think they can sustain this for 4 quarters

ย 

Freo facing their first real threat in the Suns up there.

The Melbourne boys were all pretty bullish on Gold Coast after playing them. I trust their football judgment, and Fremantle play a lot like Melbourne.

Even though the Suns have had some bad losses this year I reckon the fact the Suns play honest football these days means other teams can cut them up but teams that play properly like Melbourne and Fremantle will struggle a little more to get over the top of them.

Looks like Dew wants to keep his job. This opens up the eight for some more changes if they hang on

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourneโ€™sย 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.
