Just now, whatwhat say what said:

my cousin is convinced there’s a minimum quota of score reviews to satisfy the sponsors

i think he might be onto something

somebody is getting paid. i thought perhaps the goal umps are on a commission. some of the reviews today were pointless.

    the most egregious one was yesterday at taxpayer park, where the ball hit the post and went at right angles and the goal maggot STILL called for a review

    Zac Bailey has played 120 games? Feels like he’s only been around a few years 

    Very good player. Got a few more gears ⚙️ to go yet, very good 1 v 1 and snags goals.

    A poster yesterday used the name "Pork Barrel Park". I quite like that

    and to not have to go there this year we had to accept a pretty crummy fixture of short breaks between games

    the worst thing that happened to our club was being perennially poor on field during the dawn of the tv era

    This is so true. (Listen to the wise, kiddies. We're not all senile.)

    Looking towards next weeks it appears Sicily has been suspended for protecting himself against an Essendon player trying to be tough (which is rare). The MRP is a shambles.

    Freo have stepped up the pressure big time. Lions look rushed in their disposals since quarter time.

    He lifted a player off the ground and dumped him off the ball. That’s dangerous and silly. Nothing defensive about that.

    Early days but a potential 0 & 2 for the Lions including losses at homes is massive.

     

    Someone else posted on Demonland that 0-2 to start a season means only 18% chance to play finals. So historically, one of pies or lions probably won’t play finals going off that, which is interesting

    BrisVegas playing Collingwood next in Round 3, would be great to see both winless heading towards this match.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      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.
