Darcy Moore might have done his knee here. Looks bad for him

Moore done for the season I reckon. There goes Collingwood's chances.

 

David Noble has to get sacked this week. Feel for the guy but Norf are truly a miserable proposition. 

I doubt it.... looked like a bruised knee (hyperextension) rather than something serious

    Finally the Pies are shown to be the average outfit they are

    I think you might be underselling how good the Pies are.

    Suns robbed of  a couple of holding the ball frees at the death within scoring range.

    Collingwood have had so many tight games go their way. To put it into perspective they are 6th on the ladder - but 11th for percentage.

    Pies 6th on 10 wins and a percentage of 106. Winning a lot of tight games. Can't continue you'd think.

    Dew not happy with the umps. Fair enough I’d say as well shocking non decisions.

    How about Took with only eyes for the ball, getting his legs smashed out from under him in that last 4 minutes.... "play on" ....hilarious.

    What a joke the umps have turned this game into through their ineptitude.  And the AFL keeps backing them in with their constant "nothing to see here!"

    I'm watching Wimbledon. But flicking in between.

    Will be interesting to see how these older Geelong players get up in 5 days time

    It looks like they have just had the bye renamed Norf

    Suns stuffed that up completely. Umps didn't help their cause

    Seems like you can now take 3 opponents on and get wrapped up in a tackle, make no attempt to get rid of it but as long as you don’t let the ball spill, it’s ball up. Then with 3 minutes to go a Suns bloke barely takes possession and gets stripped of the ball in heavy traffic and it’s incorrect disposal. Glad I am not an umpire.

    I’d say Noble will be lucky to be coach by the end of next week.

    No coach can survive a series of hidings this bad.

  • Quote

    as was the case with our game, the interpretation of holding the ball only applied to one team. 

    The adjudication of prior opportunity and incorrect disposal has been bafflingly inconsistent today.

    Is Noble worse than Neeld?

    No. I feel (for different reasons) that he's the fall guy for an inept club much the same as the late Dean Bailey. Hiding to nothing stuff. For starters, their recruiting has been atrocious

    Okay Melbourne won but apart from that all I have seen today is disgraceful umpiring. Suns got robbed blind in the last quarter.

    Any win over England has to be applauded even if it is the kiss me hug me !

    Make the umpires professional. Pay then top dollar for a top result

    They play North, Adelaide and Essendon for their next three. I hope they don’t but it looks like they keep winning, I think you’re right though, it won’t continue being tight!

    They don’t deserve top dollar with those efforts. First they need to be made accountable for their performances, then comes the pay rise if they deserve them (by the looks of it, they seem to have already pocketed some extra cash from the filth and SA filth on tonight’s performances)

    • 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.

      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.
