    Touk Miller wasting his career at the Suns. Good enough to play for a top 4 team.

    The existence of GC remains a mystery to me. Absolutely a waste of a club when we have Tassie and NT who are both actual footy loving states, not to mention how thin the talent is already spread across the 18 clubs. 
    I suggest we dismantle them and we put dibs on Touk Miller and call it a day 😂

    Will the gold coast ever do anything?

    Probably not but perhaps the real question is whether anyone will care if they do.

    GWS was the science experiment with their excellent drafting but even they couldn't crack the relevancy factor

    A discarded player like Setterfield showing he is miles ahead of the Harmes & Sparrows of the world is a bit of a concern

    I wonder if the Hawthorn board will hold their nerve with Sam Mitchell if they keep getting pummelled like this. 

    It's like if MFC had at one point selected Steven Tingay or James McDonald as coach. Very very hard to prise out a favoured son. traumatic even. This could get "delicious".

    Suns kicking themselves out of this game. They've missed about 4 relatively simple shots on goal so far

    They have never had that undefinable something that winning teams have, and have never looked like getting it. The thing that separates a talented list from a side that has the winning habit.

    TL;DR answer: it's the war against rugby league and soccer that determines where new clubs spring up.

    Yes to this, and to their King brother, and to Sam Day for when May hangs up the boots. Surely their true destiny is to become a recruiting ground for the mighty Demons?

    They're tanking.

    But because Hawthorn its all OK.

    I was thinking this, this morning. 
    it is blatant tanking. When will Wilson start writing about it?

    Tanks on “The Age” front page…

    It’s the war on Rugby League 

    Tasmania have nothing to do with it. 
    They already watch the game

    Always have to remind myself that AFL HQ is the sporting equivalent of Barnum & Bailey

    It would be great to see the Gold Coast get their first win next week against the cats.

    Just read the heading “Unstoppable Bombers Star” Kyle Langford… GC must be developing nicely..

    Agreed. Must have been some sort of strange land grab based on some sort of demographic research but how will it ever pay off? 

    I hear cries of "its competing with nrl and soccer." So what: our game stands on its own merits as the country's national football game. Crowd numbers are great. I suppose transferring lions and swans worked but it's hard to see how clubs from scratch in no man's land can thrive. 

    Maybe gws will linger but I reckon the sun's will fold. Would be great for Tassie to get a club. The only plus is the round we play sun's is always 4 points.

    hawks aren’t tanking. they just traded their best mids so they will clearly finish last. Mitchell being a club champ will get him 2+ years to prove himself so he can finish last. then win 8 games next year and media will congratulate them. much smarter than winning 6-8 games this year and then finals would be expected

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
