    Can someone do me a favor and explain why the fixture has saints and Pies in Adelaide?  We are lampooned for not having enough supporters to ascertain prime venues and times but they schedule this event.

    I really thought that Gold Coast were nothing short of pathetic last night. Not sure how much more we have to put up with these uncompetitive performances but if they say they want to play finals then these are the games you have to win. You can't just gee yourself up for a big one last week and then relax. It's been going on long enough and it's almost curtains in 2023 already for them.

    Their standard made-to-measure season is unfolding in accordance with the GCS blueprint. Some slashing wins interspersed with terrible and/or pathetic losses. Unable to put together streaks of wins and end up capitulating in the back half of the season and giving up entirely.

    Only difference is this year it looks like they will capitulate sooner.

    Port were also robbed of a goal here 

    So the Swannettes have not a leg to stand on 

    I dunno how the umps can determine anything definitively from the My First Digital Camera™ they have strapped to the goal posts. But that's what saved Port's bacon, as it turns out they could not determine anything definitely, so it went back to umpire's call, which was "touched".

    It's funny because the Swans lost, and it's funnier because Hinkley's tenure gets extended by a few more weeks. If they pull out another of these wins at just the right moment, "Kochie" will extend his contract.

    The funniest thing about Buddy going right into Bergman's back and falling over is that he cleared room for Alir Alir to come through for the punch. 

    For some reason the fans arm pumping up and down that blocks the camera view cos he thinks they are going to win also cracks me up 🤣

    It’s the gift that keeps on giving. With every viewing you notice something new to relish. 🥳

    Basically the AFL hate us. That explains nearly everything that goes on in the world of AFL.

    Hope he's OK. Will miss our match up next week in Adelaide as well.

    If anything, Port were robbed of a goal that was bizarrely called touched ... Had that been called correctly, the outcome of the final kick would not have mattered.

     

    Edit: Should have read the entire thread first, of course .. sorry SWYL et al.

    So what happens if the umpire wants to pay the free? Does the kick not count? Or in an after-the-siren shot is it a free-for-all on the goal line?

    Let's say Aliir had not punched, the ball went through and the umps decided to award a free for in the back. No score, free kick awarded, game over. The player can take the kick if they want.

    I wonder how many umps would have had the nerve to pay the free.

    Of course he's right - that is if the ball was kicked from the crowd it's over the line. "Blind Freddie" can see it never made the line. Yet again Channel 7 create muddy waters with bad shots of the goal square. And can someone keep that person seated in front of the camera. They did the same when Buddie kicked his goal last year.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • 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.
