Well done to the Tigers. Great effort for their captain and the cherry on top they're now ........ 9th. 😆

Credit also to the size of the crowd that turned up taking into consideration the weather

    Suns have improved a lot this season. I expect them to beat Carlton today and have a good crack at getting into the 8. Would be great to see them make finals (I've lambasted them for a long time, but they are finally showing some ticker). Would be magnificent if they made finals at the expense of Essendon.

    So far this weekend the results have suited us putting a game distance to couple of teams that were breathing down our necks. I have seldon enjoyed two rounds of footy more than the last two rounds and we haven't played in one of them.

    Wouldn't be surprised to see the Tigers get up tonight. 

    No bigee.

    I am never surprised when any side gets up against StKilda.

    Were gifted a soft fixture  won a few games against flat teams and the media started talking about finals. Clueless knobs.

    Don't think there a bad side. Some very good talent but will be vying with a few to make the 8.

    Just noticed Port on top of the ladder. I had to go have a panadol.

    Their defence has no idea. Take a look at  highlights 1st qtr. Wouldn't be a single saints player that would be in our top six defenders.

    They have played one more game than the Pies so it could be an aberration.

    Shades of what is to come with 19 teams. Assuming they have the byes in blocks rather than one team each week and who knows what for the last five rounds the ladder positions will be a relative nightmare on a weekly basis.

    Would love to see Norff and Suns get up this arvo. Blueboyz damn lucky they're not playing "oop north" on the goldcoast under humid greasy conditions. Wouldnt back them in a fit.

    Not sure who I want to win.

    GC puts a game between them and freemantle while a Carlton win gets them within 2 points of freo and perhaps threaten to put them down another spot on the ladder later in the season.

    I'm going to ignore the permutations and barrack for a Carlton loss.

    Because it's Carlton and it's the right thing to do.

    Tx Debauched, yea they were poor. I also think with Salo back we have the best bline going about.

    I hate saying this and I feel dirty but I expect Carlton to win today. 

    Same here after 6 straight but they look poor.

    I said it last year but Levi Casboult would be perfect for our game style. Competes so well in the air.

    Probably keen to leave. Would be a great addition.

    I remember when we use to play in this time slot.. 

    The funny thing is that this timeslot usually gets the best commentator team, usually led by Huddo who by all rights should have Brian Taylor's job.

    • 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.
