Surprised the AFL haven't tried to create a rivalry game between the two expansion teams yet, a la GC and it's Frankenstein cousin Brisbane. How about the Plastic Fantastic?

    Callum Brown would be nice inside our forward 50. Great kick and strong as an ox.

    Such a soft 50 at a critical time

    Giants should win from here

    7 goals to 1 in the last Q

    Suns still soft

    Expect the Dogs will replace them in the 8 before long

    Good lord, the worst non deliberate call of all time

    Umps got the Giants home with some howlers in the last Q

    such a pity in a cracking match

    Why were GC$ wearing recycled WCE jumpers from the 1990s??

    Collingwood are like Dees in 2022., Sydney in 2024. When you are the best team all year it turns ugly for you. Watch it unravel for them.

    To be fair, the umpires looked after the Suns the whole game - 24 to 15 frees the Suns way.

    I'm not watching a lot of other footy but Geez there seems to be a lot of very soft 50m penalties being dished out of late. Such gifts to teams and momentum killers to others.

    Is it just me noticing this after the Dees got hammered the other week or does it seem to be on the rise?

    the issue is they just call heaps over a couple of weeks and then dont call any for weeks after that, its just a massive cycle. either make calls consistently [censored] or good not in between and dont change throughout the season

    An absolute shocker 'Dub'...there's no way in the world that shouldn't have been called.

    Yet somehow 4 umpires couldn't make it.

    i’ve noticed an increase in the past couple of weeks. 2-3 a game is normal

    The one today which decided the game imo was a bloke running past around 10 yards away. did not influence the bloke with the ball at all. Ended in a goal

    so frustrating

    You know the umpiring is bad when you fall about laughing about the inconsistencies and errors favouring the team you are barracking for. When oh when is the AFL going to realise they are making a hash of the game.

    And don't get me started on the ugly wrestling match to be seen at every ruck contest.

    Gold Coast is going to be the side to miss the 8, right? A post-bye slump as per usual?

    What an absolute fail it will be if they do miss from 8-2 with the list they have.

    (Meanwhile I expect them to comfortably account for us on Saturday. They should be fired up knowing their finals spot is on the line).

    still two games in hand over the other teams around them on the ladder - like gw$, who are only a win ahead of them on points

    How exciting for dogs fans to attend every week to watch a key forward in Darcy who can also kick straight

    he very well may be the player of his generation with the rate that he's going at

    Nah, Collingwood are the AFL's official team these days.

    Nothing wrong with a good spray occasionally.

    Players are on Top Coin, if they are not playing to the Coaches instructions, then it’s fully deserved.

    I wish Goodwin would let fly at times….

    He have the players a bit of a cook at qtr time of Gather Round V Essendon. It was very mild but still animated by Goodwin’s standards.

    • 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.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.

      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.
