Only downside of Adelaide losing is Essendon keeping their spot in the 8

Totally agree. I wanted Essendon out of the 8. Adelaide will rue that loss. A couple of weeks ago they were being talked up about a possible top 4. Now they've dropped

    not sure why people were cheering for the Giants. they are one of the form teams of the comp

    now we face an angry crows team on the rebound 

    People were chearing for the Giants because Adelaide had a much better percentage than GWS. Basically impossible to see how GWS will end with a better percentage than Melbourne, whereas Adelaide there is some (remote) chance. Also, if Adelaide beat Melbourne it will be positive for Adelaide's percentage, negative for Melbourne's which will tighten things up, and it will be an 8-point game.

    Geelong may well give Brisvegas a touch up next week. If we beat Adelaide then staying in the four becomes more Brisbane's problem. 

    I wanted Essendon to beat Geelong because there was more chance of G finishing ahead of Melbourne than Essendon because of that undeserved draw against the Swans. Having said that, if Geelong was going to win I'm glad it was a big win as they've seriously damaged Essendon's already poor percentage. Geelong's percentage is irrelevant to Melbourne.

    Don't understand this thinking. We want Essendon in  the Final 8 because they're less of a threat than GWS, Carlton, Adelaide, Gold Coast (possibly), Sydney & Richmond.

    If we can’t beat any of those teams in September on the G then we don’t deserve to be in the same room as the cup.

     We shouldn’t be worried about playing any team. You can’t Bradbury a whole season and finals series.

    A fantastic win by GWS tonight. I love everything about this side (except of course when they beat Melbourne). Others have posted that Adelaide winning would have been good because after a loss they'll suddenly be wound up and come to play next week. I see it the other way. If anything a loss at home is going to deflate them and demotivate them. In reality they'll come to play regardless of tonight's result and the loss will make it virtually impossible for them to overtake Melbourne even if they win next week.

    I agree. I wasn't saying we should fear any of those teams. I was  responding to the proposition that somehow it would have been better for Adelaide to beat GWS just to keep Essendon out of the 8 with 6 rounds to go. My thoughts about teams winning and losing are based on what's better for Melbourne's prospects, not hatred for other individual teams.

    St Kilda and the Dogs are slowly sliding into nothingness and opening the door for Carlton, GWS and potentially Richmond to try to steal their spots. Adelaide has had a golden chance the past two weeks to solidify their top 8 (or even top 6) spot but have now put themselves in a terrible position.

    I only wanted GWS to win in regards to the Freo pick. A win to GWS keeps Freo firmly down the ladder. Having said that they're doing a good job of that themselves.

    Not surprised. He was either turning it over or dropping the most basic of marks.

    A seriously frustrating player for a guy of his talents.

    And when he takes a mark he often misses the kick as he did with us.

    And with their draw, largely irrelevant in any case.

    And it was a super contested, tough game. Bit of recovery needed for the crows.

    One less day break and travel doesn't help their cause  either.

    • 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.
