Tigers have an easy run home. They could make finals. 

Port in Adelaide, Hawks at the G and Essendon at the G. 

Could lose all 3. They lost to Norf don’t forget

Lions were 7 goals up weren’t they?

Geelong like loss.  The Lions Blues game going to mean a lot next week.

I've said it before but Brisbane's leadership and midfield is highly questionable. They go missing at really important points. Remind me of MFC circa 2002-2006. Really poor again.

Agree.

But their main issue is their woeful defence.

Old school sysyem thst just doesn't cut it - as evidenced by how many big scores they've give up.

Cost them this game as they simply couldn't stop the tiger's momentum 


From the AFL game day thread

"Searching for their first win since Round 21, 2014 at the MCG, Brisbane gave up a 42-point lead and were overrun by the Tigers. This came about as Brisbane's ball movement was stifled by Richmond. In the first half, Brisbane turned 34 defensive chains into 16 forward 50 entries and 6.3 (39); in the second half, 30 chains only yielded seven entries and three behinds."

Brisbane did a Melbourne.

Welcome to the Dangerzone, Lions.

Serious question- have we been 42pts down and lost this year? I don’t think so but wondering if you or anyone knows

I love when Brisvegas play the self appointed barometer, Rhys Mathieson.

Random thought….

Blues don’t make the 8 (even if they win tonight).

Lions @ Gabba 

Dees @ MCG

Pies @ MCG 

Tigers to win next 3.

Blues making the 8 comes down to them beating the Pies rd 23.

Massive choke from the Lions. They lost it more than the Tigers win it. Lions won contested footy, clearances, inside 50s etc. just what the bed when the pressure came

He’s not wrong about himself though… 🥶

Agreed. Zorko is the worst captain in the league and yes I am including Heppell in that. He is a hot head and thinks of himself. Argues with the umps and has personal grudge matches a lot. 

the Sooner McCluggage is made captain the better for them

Uh oh. 

Oops. I could not pick a winner to save my life this year. That is why I don't bet on Melbourne games.

Another bonus out of that game is St Kilda. They have  to win next week now, most likely they wont but its now their Grand Final.

That is the most insightful thing said this week.

Brisbane's chance to win a flag was the only year in history when the finals were/will be played in QLD. Not sure where they go from here. Back to QLD, I guess.

They can’t win, neither can Flagmantle. It’s out of the current top 4.

got an armchair ride to the prelim at the Gabba during covid impacted 2020 and still couldn't get the job done. Serial chokers in the big games

Rippa great result for Dees beat Pies where locked in top two

Wouldn't count on this - Sydney have North, Collingwood (at the SCG where they are 8-2) and St Kilda to come. Very good chance they make up the 4 points and 5% between us even if we go 2-1 from here.

So basically if we beat the Pies and Carlton we will finish 2nd?

I hate seeing Richmond win but it helps us

For now.

Keep winning and it could be us against the Swans at the G.

Lose one and it could be Swans at the SCG.

If that was the case, I think I would prefer to finish 4th and play the Cats at the G.

Haven't worked out all the scenarios needed for various results yet, I am sure others on DL will. 

Carlton, Lions and Freo lose and we win convincingly and regain our team defence 

nice weekend!

Bring on Friday to crush the filth!!

  • 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.
