    Thursday is less time for Moore and Daicos to get up too. That's also a win.

    They ruled Daicos out already. He’s two weeks off from even running. Will be lucky to play the prelim.

    I'd pay $1,000 right now for it to just turn out like that.

    Because it’s a final we absolutely should win against a side who can kick goals quickly if we nap. It’s also Collingwood and losing to them would ruin my day, possibly my weekend.

    I'm away so haven't had the chance to see the Sydney game.

    The Melksham news is devastating on all fronts. Having cemented his spot and done so well this year, to miss out on the finals campaign will be heartbreaking for him. Meanwhile it throws a massive spanner in our forward line thoughts. Having him and Petty go down in the final month is just no good. 

    I suspect it will be TMac who gets that spot. Fingers crossed whatever form he got today, and perhaps next week for Casey again, can translate into AFL level, because if we get the slow, early-2023 TMac, that won't work.

    I don't need to have seen the game today to know that we won't be dropping Turner for anyone except Tomlinson. We are not abandoning that plan now.

    Don't worry mate, just enjoy the fact that we get to play an age old rival with packed G!

    If we lose, well [censored]; I'd rather be involved classic contests against the teams we most want to beat!

    If lose, we'll also get a chance to smash em again!!

    I'm sure it's already been said but this QF is possibly our make-or-break at the flag.

    Win it, we get a home prelim against Brisbane/Port/St Kilda/GWS.

    Lose it, we get Carlton/Sydney (likely Carlton) in a semi before having to travel to Brisbane/Port.

    The stakes are huge.

    I don't see any other matchup shaping the finals series more than this one.

    Maybe if Port get over Bris that is bigger but still not sold. I think all eyes will be on the G.

    win this one and we're in a very, very good position

    for mine...i'm shattered for milkshake - he's been fantastic the back half of this season; such a shame

    Absolutely [censored] luck with injuries all year. Amazing we’re fourth and two finals at the MCG.

    Hope there’s 95,000 but will probably take a hit in turnout if Thursday night. Atmosphere will be electric!

    Thought it was Montagna that gave us the pump up. King just nodded his head.

    King had us number one seed last week, but when asked to give his GF and Premiership tip, said Collingwood would beat Lions in the GF. The man changes his mind on everything for no good reason every week. Only a few weeks ago, he said Collingwood couldn’t win the flag. They’ve not beaten anyone of note since, but all of a sudden, he thinks they’ll win the flag again.

    The ‘expected scores’ only had Collingwood beating Essendon by 30-something points. Essendon were terribly inaccurate and Collingwood vice-versa. Essendon probably also have the worst form out of any side atm. Not sure you can flip an opinion or change a view based on Collingwood’s win. Essendon literally shirked at contests, it was unbelievable.

    • 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.
