Hopefully we get to see how Brisbane holds up in the last quarter with a slim lead and Collingwood coming at them like a freight train.

Very wobbly in that situation.

    And lets hope that stay that way. When we won in 21 I thought of him and had a chuckle. Couldn't stand it if he, cox and ginnivan won a premiership 

    I literally said the same thing to my husband about those three. I just couldn’t cope seeing Howe with a premiership medal around his neck.🤮🤮

    and one more thing McQueen, I just think she gets a lot of vitriol on here for what? Having an annoying voice?

    Maybe - but not from me. 
     

    In all seriousness, she’s an absolute trailblazer in what she is doing for a career. 
    Full credit to her. 
     

    it’s just the voooiiiiiiiiiicccccccceee.

    Brisbane to lose 10000000%

    We want a home final and if Brisbane win tonight, then a very likely outcome would be for us to go up to Brisbane first final. I think us finishing 3rd is most likely.

    If we have to play humid/slippery footy up there then we would be at a huge disadvantage.

    Pinot for me ... NZ, Bellarine, Yarra Valley or the Peninsula.  Goes with anything

    Less of a headache next day is also the goal!

    Loose game and nothing like what we'll see in September

    Just how these two teams like it. They’ll be found out in finals if they don’t tighten up their defensive work all over the ground.

    Reckon that was a dangerous tackle? He had his arms pinned and was dumped head first. But the Brisbane player appeared to be fine so nothing will happen

    Can't believe they made Maynard captain tonight.

    A hot head big mouth. They have no leadership if this is the best they can do without Moore.

    1st or 2nd is the same yeah? So the Pies have very little incentive to go all out (De Goey rested etc) ... and that includes against the Don's next Friday

    But we can't be sure of any result including tonight

    Port will probably win their last 2 but if we knew that for sure, we could make a lot of money

    We beat the Hawks and then rest our best players against Sydney (why risk injury?) ... 4th place and then launch

    Has Maynard been appointed as a playing umpire?  Mouthing off to the one in yellow, with impunity.

    And seriously these "insufficient intent" are just so annoying.  One was a side of the boot kick off the ground and another player tackled running head on the boundary.

    Hate to say it, but Cox has been pretty influential at centre bounces in particular.  Very annoying.

    And I wonder what Michael Christian will say about the dump tackle by McCreery?  Remind me who did Christian play for??    PS: was anything said about the one on Rivers late last week? Or was the Carlton exemption card played?

    The just pay what’s there to the Pies. Difference is, they don’t pay what’s there to other sides. It’s not cheating, just selective umpiring.

    There are pros and cons with whoever wins.

    If Brisbane win and Port wins too, we likely stay in 4th and play Collingwood in a Qualifying Final at home. I’d back us any day of the week to beat them, especially without Daicos and an underdone Moore.

    Collingwood win tonight, and we would rely on Port dropping a game to finish 2nd (which will have to be this week because Richmond has given up), which is unlikely, and more likely to lead to a 3rd place finish.

    If we finish 4th, whilst I think it’s our best chance to win the Qualifying Final, it’s also problematic if we lost that game as we’d likely play Carlton in a semi, which won’t be straightforward, and then a Preliminary Final in either Adelaide or Brisbane. The grounds don’t worry me, it’s more the umpires getting influenced by home fans (as we saw in Adelaide earlier this season).

    Finishing 3rd might mean we have to travel, but even if we lost that Qualifying Final, we’d play the winner of 6 v 7 which you’d back us to win (teams outside the top 5 fall away dramatically) and then probably Collingwood in a Preliminary Final.

    • 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.
