Don't think the port/ess game is of a high standard at all. Quite poor footy. If port can kick straight at goal they will win. Watch the bombers tire in the last.

    Dermott literally just said ‘it’s a man’s sport, and that’s the way in needs to be played’.

    Except for when it’s played by women Derm. Did he mean tough, uncompromising, or brave? There’s lots of other words. Use them, or go.

    Dermott also said, while praising Weids, “All he needed was a bit more time, Melbourne should’ve been patient.”

    😳

    As ironic as Dermies comment is, I'd actually take him back at the minute for our fwd line issues but only short term.

    Cripps is a great inside contested player but unfortunately the modern game just doesn’t suit his style as much as it used to.

    I have never come across a commentator that just likes to get it out there as to how great he is (was) and how he is just such an effusive expert on all things football. He really does irk me big time.

    Don’t forget: Every time you hear Dermie do an intake of breath (meaning he’s about to say something) you must immediately assume an air of solemn respect, similar to how the masses would’ve been just before Confucius spoke.

    The only way to beat both Melbourne and Collingwood is to just bury them from the first bounce. Close contests and they're just too good with too much polish. 

    Surely if both teams are 1st and 2nd come King's Birthday we get 90k+?

    Hope so. Could be the game of the season. KB still sounds strange.

    I think it says more around our game style and overall skill level. 
     

    Weid is good 1:1 with space. He is not good in contested marking. If you recognise that and play to his strengths then he’ll generally perform better than he did for us. He just couldn’t do what we were asking if him.

    I’ll spew if I’ve watched this game ‘til the end only to see Essendon win.

    HANG IN THERE, PORT!

    edit: no need to spew 🥳

    • 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.
