    Not getting ahead of myself and I realise a lot depends on what happens over the final 9 games or so, but I hope we keep Neil Craig as coach. He is already showing he is building something to work on. Bringing in a new coach next season means reinventing the wheel yet again to another coach's philosophy and style. As long as we remain competitive and win a few more games, and the players like playing for him, I think we are on a read winner here. .

    Could also have a lot to do with getting rid of the "ball and chain" or "the dud one" too I would think M.

    Jaded used the term r$$ted. When I did that I got banned for a week.

    I think your issue with another poster using language that you were banned for is rooted in a perceived miscarriage of justice on your behalf.

    I suggest to you that you are in fact a better person than that, and that you should move on with your life.

    She probably used it as a noun instead of a word.

    Speaking of roosters , I'll be crowing all week. U Bloody beauty!

    Great birthday pressie.

    A rooster is a noun right, and chicken is probably a word?

    Have I learned well today or what? :)

    Are you saying (writing) that 'chicken' can be both a noun and an adjective ?

    i think neeld was giving the wrong messages to the players, he made 60 point losses into honorable losses, he also made it ok to lose just because you dont have experience, nothing honorable about 34 point lose

    I might chicken out of suggesting it could be used part of a verb, though

    Cheers DV at least we made some money for a change. I am sure it would have been allot less if "the dud one" was still in charge.

    So good to see Chip back in that backline.

    Tom is a great defender but please dont run out of defence with the ball it makes me nervous

    Maxy said on the radio after the game he needs to get fitter. Said in the last 10 minutes he was feeling it and Minson just kept running.

    Watts was great. I think he will be one of those players that is better taking a mark on the lead rather than take one on one marks. But keep that performance up and his confidence will soar.

    Jeremy Howes 2 marks were great and im glad he kicked a couple tonight

    Dawes just brilliant

    Rodan we virtually got nothing for and we got bagged for getting him, but tonight he was good and that goal he kicked was so more exciting than anything I ever saw Cale Morton do.

    Im just happy we got a win

    Great game.

    Very happy.

    The new culture is a winning culture.

    The new attitude is a winning attitude.

    If Craig can instill those beliefs, give him the job.

    Our team is talented.

    Our team is tough.

    Our team is skilled.

    Now comes the right coach to instill the right philosophy. A winning philosophy!

    A winning coach is what we need. Craig is now 1 for 1. Go get em.

    Nouns are words, genius.

    Yes, but if you read the word "words" after you have been drinking, the brain can sound it as "verbs"; that's a clinical fact that I just made up, by the way.

    I think part of the problem with Tommy Mac wandering around the half forward line is that we aren't aware of how <quick> he is - great tank, but fast as well. We're so unused to getting turnovers that we don't stream forward with much fluency - I reckon a good coach (e.g. Craig) will want him to run - makes tons of ground - and will help the team structure up around him. I think he's going to be really damaging - imagine if he had Stevie J / Bartel etc etc around him...

    Such a great night - not downhill skiing, just really exciting footy from the team we love!!!

    • 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.

      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.
