Sudden death Hawks vs Dogs at the MCG in their current form is peak footy IMO. Deserves 90,000+ 

Hoping for Giants to win the flag so I’d be happy if they won along with Brisbane and the Dogs. I hate Port and Geelong equally. It will be funnier if Port lose so I guess go Cats.

    The scheduling is absolutely ridiculous in week 1. 

    Why would you put dogs v hawks on the Friday night when the dogs womens team play their 1st home game at written oval. Apparently the dogs raised this point.

    Then put sydney v giants on a Saturday afternoon? Put the sydney game in prime time Friday night in the sydney market.  The minor premiers deserved better.

    Plus the dogs v hawks sat arvo at the G would have been great.

    What a complete joke. 

    How can you not hate this corrupt organization?

    It really makes me question why I waste my hard earned money on this game.

    I've often half joked on the podcast about getting the soapy water out at training to assist in training for wet conditions and i've often wondered whether training at night to simulate playing at night would be a benefit. The Hawks did just that in the lead up to only their 2nd night game this season.

    I’m picking Geelong as they always seem to perform when it matters, then as much as I dislike the club, I love the way this Hawthorn team plays their footy, so I’m tipping them over the Doggies.

    I love the way that GWS play (like the Hawks, they play an exciting brand of footy), but I fear the Swans will get over them in a very close game.  Brisbane will destroy a very under strength Carlton.

    As I've said it's a shame dogs v hawks is an elimination final. They are the 2 exciting teams  currently playing the best footy.

    Swans (1-39)

    Lions (1-39)

    • 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.
