Seeing so many reprobates in the crowd enjoying themselves is putting me off my dinner.

    Who wants to be the first to say go Bombers and get put in their place?

    Why is this game at the MCG?

    Bulldogs played at Marvel a bit earlier? Or does that not normally matter?

    Yeah not sure how many hours are needed between games at the same venue. But seeing Essendon and Carlton both playing home games at the MCG versus interstate teams makes me angry.

    Is Daicos that good? Is he better than the Bont or Dawson or Butters right now? Is he just racking up cheap possessions of half back? I have no doubt he uses it well but is he rightfully the Brownlow favourite? I personally don’t think he’s the best player in the game.

    The best player in the game doesn’t always win the Brownlow, Oliver is a prime example of that. Daicos x 2 are both guns.

    They never usually play 2 games at the same venue on the same day outside of gather round or emergencies.

    So if the Bombers win tonight, it doesn’t bode well for the AFL in fixturing integrity where all teams off the bye lose against a non bye team.
     

    With so much other inequity, this just adds another dimension.

    I’d say 90% of Brownlow’s won since the 80’s haven’t been won by the best player in the game.

    Carey, Ablett Snr, Matthews. It’s an incredible list.

    At least their seconds are flying the flag, a white flag but a flag never the less.May be an image of text that says 'Full Time East Fremantle 215 West Coast WAFL 31 Q1 Q2 11.3 Q3 Q4 18.8 26.14 0.1 33.17 1.3 3.5 4.7'

    And yet they still can’t get to 186 😂

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

    No doubt because Essendon requested it.

    Weids looking good this quarter. Running back with the ball and halving contests.

    I was complaining earlier about Essendon playing a home game at the MCG. Now that it’s flogging down rain I am not so upset. Just need Port to win now. 

  • Quote

    Have these umpires ever ever played the game - zero feel of the game calling that deliberate (5;00 to go Q3).

    Pissing with rain, off balance - about 50 cm from the line.  Absurd

    ANG13 - I am a bit conflicted re tonight's result.

    It is looking more and more like 4th is the best we can expect, so having cocky Collingwood at 1 would be way better than Port.  Would far prefer Collingwood at the G than Port over there.

    • 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.
