Can’t believe the Tigers are paying $10 to win against Carlton.

 

They should be $30

    Can’t stand how the media are froffing over Hawthorn after 1 game and treating 21, 22, 23 year olds as naive children, when in fact they are grown men. 

    The Nick Watson coddling and love fest in spite of the quiet game is nauseating. 

    Hopefully Essendon do us all a solid.

    If it’s all the same to you, how about we let the Hawks win this week and let Carlton do us all a solid next week coz Essendon 🤮

    My vote is for an all-in brawl between Hawthorn and Essendon after three spiteful scoreless quarters that makes the "Line in the sand" game look like a summer picnic.

    Outside of that, it could be a tough first couple of weeks for Dean Cox if the Lions get a hold of Sydney in their GF rematch.

    Preferring Carlton over Essendon?

    That's like having to choose whether to have your sh*t sandwich cut into squares or triangles.

    For me it’s like having to choose between a sh*t sandwich (cut any way) and a roast dinner. Again, coz Essendon.

    Besides, one can’t simply masquerade as a Carlton supporter for 20 years without having a lingering soft spot for them, now can one?

    I propose a compromise.

    Hawthorn beat Essendon, but only after things get very ugly and a few serious incidents reduce Essendon's bench. Two or three key Hawks get suspended (Sicily, obviously) and it is just the 'exciting''up and coming' 'carefree' kids who come up against Carlton the next week. The mature Carlton side with it's immensely strong key position stocks put on a clinic and Hawthorn miraculously drop out of the 8 despite having played an extra game. Patrick Cripps punches Ginnivan and is given a two week suspension, ruling him out of the Brownlow.

    In this scenario neither Essendon or Carlton are happy, but the Hawks really, really suffer. Best outcome.

    Wow, this round of football is packed with games of the least possible interest to me. Adelaide St Kilda? Bulldogs North? Gold Coast v West Coast? Even Essendon and Hawthorn I wouldn't worry about watching so much as just wanting to know the injuries and suspensions pile up.

    Apparently 80,000 tickets have been sold for Carlton’s open training session tomorrow night at the MCG.

    I think that is 80,000 for the game vs Richmond.

    Probably much lower than prior years Round 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • 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.
