    GC will be lucky to get a goal by half time the way this is going

    That was unreal from the Howe kick out.

    Never in the world have we ever attempted what he just did.

    Will have lots of free time to lose a few kgs next year methinks.

    Dont need to worry about a 20th licence, either Suns should fold or merge with GWS and keep the comp at 18 teams.

    Pathetic from the Suns

    They keep making me lose in my tipping competition 😡😡, I have lost 4 rounds because of them. Don't know why I keep trusting them.

    Pies just look like they are centrally by by AI. Their game at times looks so ridiculously in sync that you would say it’s flukey - but it is not.
     

    Yes the Suns really suck and I think this game will just about seal Dewy’s fate. Poor fella - had a Rolls Royce list but could never really create a team environment. They need to bring in Hardwick and a brand new coaching panel.

    At least the stands will still stay full, unless Pie fans think it’s time to hit Jupiters.

    Yes. But I reckon they’re more deliberately creative - and they pull it off so many times. And a feature in this game has been the breakneck speed running past the ball carrier - incredible. They get 20-25 meters instantly each time. But then a silky delivery into 50. Very impressive.

    No pressure in this game of course. We showed what can happen if you hassle and block and choke their ball movement.

    But the Pies style looks very, very good if you give them an inch.

    Collingwood showing what a genuine contender should do against a bottom 10 team.

    We should do similar against GWS tomorrow.

    This game is all about the meaningless of the Suns. I’d love to know their stats in the last 10 weeks of a season since their inception. They still can’t hang in when it matters.

    They don’t mean anything, and nobody cares. I bet Fitzroy wish they were given this much grace.

    Just send them to Tasmania and keep the competition at 18 teams.

    If we were doing this to the Suns, Demonlanders would say, well, it's only Gold Coast, this is the bare minimum.

    We love a good re-frame on Demonland though.

    I mean we barely got out of Metricon alive. 
    But the Suns don’t play second halves of seasons. The bye is their end of season trip.

    That's it. I'd be quite happy to play the Suns between Round 16-24. Remember what we did to them at Marvel in 2021? They throw in the towel pretty quickly.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
