Kind of hoping for an Essendon win against the Odds to add another layer to shambles that club is.

And be nice send off for Rutten who seems an entirely decent bloke...

Deserves a good send off. Stick it up those cowboys 

I reckon Rutten is cut from the Goodwin cloth but Essendon is about 35 years behind Melbourne in its realization of where they are, what the competition is these days, and what they need to do to be successful again. It took Melbourne a very long time to understand it doesn't just "happen", and Essendon are in the same boat now (and have been for the last 20 years).

Long may it continue - happy to see them stuck in the Essendon equivalent of Melbourne circa the mid-80s forever.

If you're looking for a way to get hammered tonight, have a drink every time a Channel 7 camera cuts to a shot of Ben Rutten in the coaches box.

I never need a reason to get hammered D'stone ........ nonetheless you make an excellent point.


Decided to watch the showdown as these games are always entertaining, particularly when you live in Adelaide and dont give a dame with either team.

Dees v Freo and Cats v Swans would be my preferred QF scenario. 

Would rather the inverse because that way, this will be the most likely Preliminary Final scenario - a more desired outcome

Jeelong just make me sick 

Particularly when Hudson, Dwayne or Whately are calling. It is just pure projectile vomit. 

kelli underwood too

she can give the full history of the reg hickey stand

I've never been more uninspired by a minor premier as I am of Geelong. I can't wait to beat them.

Showdown is a ripper so far


Who is the F wit on 5aa commentating 

I have never heard such bias towards the PAP

it’s worse than 3GL!!!

It irritates me to see players that have clearly practised or been taught how to milk frees

Prime example. Being tackled from behind while standing and just falling forwards on purpose to draw an in the back

I’ve never seen a worse number 2 than Brisbane

Jeez, those Tigger's jumpers look like something you'd hand out to an under 12's or Auskick team.

Yes. They are just awful (but they did win a 🏆 in them as I recall).

Exactly.  Gifted scheduling, shonky home ground, totally entitled, DH of a coach….. but no strong match training going into finals May (hopefully) see them out in straight sets

I reckon Broad ran off Hurley to leave him free to mark and goal.  Footy has a heart.

  • 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.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    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.
