Just as a side note, are the Bulldogs and their fans the greatest over-celebrators in the history of the game. They are labelling it as a “historic win” and Bevo said it was “monumental”. They’ve posted black and white images of Bont and Bevo embracing in the change rooms. You’ve got Weightman interviewing after the game saying they can win it all. Yep, he actually said that. For a team that is one loss away from missing the eight, what an absurd thing to say. You’d think they’d learn

    What upsets me, is seeing sides like Carlton and Collingwood, kicking inside forward 50, to guys leading and making space and the kicks going right to them.

    Skill, practice or Coaching, or all three?

    Yeh that was an absolute joke, i am not sure whats was better, that or the bump ball that was paid a mark.

    I readily accept errors get made in games, but consistent one officiating is hard to swallow.

    Let them have their moment, lets see what happens in 5 weeks time when the real season starts.

    What was that even about? What rule was that? Not being facetious - genuinely interested.

    Something to do with having to wait for the wave of the flag before going into the square or along those lines I think?

    Yeah over celebrating for sure, probably think it atones for the grand final loss, they won't make finals this year.

    A lot of players are below par due to nagging injuries  - Gawn, Oliver, Langdon, Lever, Rivers, Salem, Brown and probably Jackson. I think this explains our current position and I doubt it will be corrected any time soon. My expectations for the rest of the year are quite low.

    How funny was Hibberd. Like when you know someone has lost the plot and you just slowly back away, without objection

    Make no mistake. They absolutely hate us. They beat us in the corresponding game this round last year and felt they had the wood over us. Then 3 goals up mid way through the 3rd quarter in a grand final and they could taste it. Followed by the most brutal 30 minutes of football anyone has ever seen to destroy them.

    Yeah, they can’t stand us. And I love it.

    They play Cats in Mordor then Freo so good luck with that! Doubt they can get in on 12 wins

    Bulldogs fans are an interesting lot. 
    A larger collection of mullets I haven’t seen since 1983. 
    They were carrying on like pork chops last night until you reminded them what happened in last year’s grand final and how far they’ve fallen since.

    First time I have witnessed that rule. Are we sure it exists?

    I just hope this puts MFC well and truly under the radar now. I hope the media completely writes us off. There's plenty of other sexy teams to talk about now.

    Every time one of our players went near it last night the Bulldogs everywhere behind us yelled out "[censored] you, Pickett!", "you're a [censored] Gawn" etc. They really do hate us. I hate them too, but I'd forgotten I hated them until last night, simply because we won the important game that mattered last year and shut them up.

    Interestingly it is all about aexy football at the moment. Offense is clearly beating up on defences at the moment.

    Afl will be happy

    You're right, it's written into folklore now. My father is a Collingwood fan and still can't get 1970 out of his head. It's the price you pay, we're not here to be liked.

    M.Lloyd. “They didn’t lose after R17 last year, where as this year they have lost R17, and R19”

    Pretty easy to dig up last years fixture and see that we lost R19 Matthew. 

    Other than that, interesting and good points.

    Just wondering did anyone else think Frisch was a bit stiff not to be paid a mark from behind Khamis in the first quarter? Looked like two clean grabs & would have been a certain goal.

    Yes was wanting to see the replay but they didn't show it.

    • 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.
