These setups never end well for us. 

I dunno, I think we've capitalised quite well on these opportunities last 2 years... We snuck into second last year taking our chance in the last 2 rounds and were sitting 3rd after Round 20 of 2021... so we've put the throttle down in these situations the last two years. Would be unreal if we do it again.

    Carlton?

    Fair call. Carlton beat the top two sides. Could be us next 😬

    I think tomorrow is a crucial game. If we get over that I can feel something a little special building. We shouldn't fear anyone.

    Carlton are on a winning streak with the largest injury list in the comp atm and plenty of those injuries are to their most important players. 

    Their form couldn't be any more impressive.

    I admire the way fly coaches. And I've envied and marvelled at the way they've played for the majority of this year and think Goodwin could take some lessons from the way they play. 

    Doesn't mean I don't despise the club and wish them to lose. I've always hoped that their unbelievable form would shake toward the pointy end and even though it's one game, I'm hopeful they'll stumble a bit from here which will give some confidence to sides like us heading into finals. 

    Same can be said about Brisbane and Port after tonight. 

    I just reallllly hope the players are realising this and play ruthless football tomorrow against Richmond. I mean come out breathing fire and play desperate and ferocious football all day. 

    Tomorrow could be the catalyst for us to hit form and make a charge for top 2.

    The pessimist and scarred supporter says that we'll fluff tomorrow. But I'm praying the players take ownership and realise what a golden opportunity this is for us. It starts tomorrow. The leaders need to know the importance and play with that intention all day. 

    Show it to us Melbourne.

    Well lets hope the Eagles don't run the roos into form...lol

    Would be nice to see roos [censored] the Eagles by 100+ and win one or two more. Would be bad optics for the afl to grant massive concessions.

    AFL need to send Port a "Please Explain" regarding the Alir Alir incident. Looked very bad.

    No,  we want to finish second, and if we win our games, and Port lose to Adelaide tonight and Geelong at Geelong (on the rebound) next week, then it is very achievable.

    your'e more optimistic than me but correct. I can only dream of 2nd which the team will be in far better shape this year than last. Unbelievable if it comes off.

    Crows should win it from here and port will have lost 3 on the trot with Cats next week without a backline. Did Hinkley get his contract extension? 

    Not yet and Kochie must be sitting back thinking how clever he is. On the other hand, Ken may want to leave it all behind also.  I hope we now don't get the lazy media pile-on to Ken about shaky ground etc. So unbecoming.

    The media story should be last years Premiers a good chance to miss finals.  Everyone came after us last year. Now its the Cats turn.  AT least we made the 8 with a banged up list. Cats have no excuse.

    As we had a banged up list they have an aged list. Could it be, AT LAST, the cliff is nearby? Oh I do hope so. Only hate the druggies more than this club.

    Sorry youre' right - Age is their issue and in hindsight I suspect many will see 2022 as their last hurrah.  They sneaked in under the wire.  Garry Lyon was effusive last night on just how speedy Freo was compared to cats.

    IMO the same might be said of the Pies weakness as showed by the Dees on KB and I reckon follwed fairly closely by Carlton on Friday.

    I will never watch this and not tear up. Pure. Magic. 

    The look on the faces of the poor dogs supporters was great as well.

    In less than a minute they had to process it was all over

    He was knocked out cold. How a Dr clears him to play after that is beyond me. I hope he's Ok.

    Oh come on there was a Charlie in it and a surname starting with C that's close enough for her...

    They’ll be a force next year 

    Easily good enough to finish top 4. Could displace Port.

    At the lions game at the gabba last year. Straw poll of lions fans there had Hipwood at No.1 to get rid of. Very little love for him up there. Cornes was on the money querying his 7 year or so deal.

    • 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.

      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.
