How nice to be sitting out in the sunshine at the footy. 

As opposed to the freezing night last night 

It wasn’t actually cold at all

    Weid with 2 goals.

    I get that Essendon’s defence is EDFL division 3 standard this afternoon but Geelong’s potency will be a concern at the business end of the year. 64 points half way through the second quarter.

    Live ladder;

    Essendon now out of the 8.

    Good times.

    They're already organising a 10 year reunion for the guys that played in their first six games.

    I may be the odd one out but I’d rather Geelong fall of the face of the earth… as opposed to the Bombers.

    Terrible from the bombers. Cats doing as they please.

    Will be interesting to watch Collingwood and see if it’s a reflection on the short turn around.

    I reckon Weid looks better on the Wing  at Essendon. 
    Didn’t mind him there with us. Less pressure/contest.

    We talk about us needing to capitalise on our list and win multiple flags while we can.... This should be said about Geelong far more than us. There probably hasn't been a better key forward pairing than Hawkins & Cameron in the last 200 years. Throw in all time great/club legends Dangerfield, Stewart, Duncan and a team full of fantastic role players with the best home ground advantage in the league - if they don't win at least 2 before Hawk retires it's a huge failure. 

    Curnow and McKay can be this good too, but they're early-mid 20s and need to prove themselves over the long haul, which both Hawkins and Cameron have already done. 

    As close to a cheat code as you'll ever see at the professional level

    I agree - that combo is quite lethal if age wasn’t a factor  would you prefer a Hawk/ Cameron duo over  centreline?

    How do the Geelong forwards constantly get away with clear and blatant pushing in the back?

    The answer should be obvious really. #integrity

    Zerk is giving away at least 15kg to Hawk

    not even a contest

    this is hilarious. Geelong up by 40 in the first Q can’t put away the bombers off a 5 day break

    Gold Coast are on

    Tigers look horrible 

    early days but still

    Cats definitely going to be very hard to beat.  Scoring power and plenty of options.  Hawkins and Cameron are immense.  
     

    Bombers effective with skills through the inside through the corridor.  Cats defence is elite and (alert to Goody), if you go wide and restrict options, they can shut you down.  Dees skills and one grab footy will be tested.  
     

    Cats, Pies, Lions and Demons are the best 4 in my view.

    Well done to weid. 5 goals.

    Geelong probably should won by more but hey it's another Essendon loss.

    Over to you now Adelaide.

    Oh and go gold coast

    Gee this Tiger Sun game is a poor standard. 

    Chol is a terrible player.

    Dusty Martin ... 'don't argue' ... pushed an opponent in the neck. No free kick ... of course.

    • 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.
