    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?

    But because Hawthorn its all OK.

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

    It’s the war on Rugby League 

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

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

    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

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
