There's no disgrace in being beaten by a few goals from a well polished, highly professional outfit, with a great history that is the Suns. Your thoughts.

    Forget about the score, the worry was the refusal to run, chase, lead, man-up and shepherd.

    The Suns should have won by more.

    Again, Watts just floats around and is so soft that it's actually embarrassing.

    We played poorly and got crucified by the umps and still only lost by 8 points. We can beat a number of teams in the comp this year.

    baby steps

    Not all positive. Jack went back to square one. Today we got the disinterested, pea hearted version. There's no sugar coating it. Some of the chase attempts were disgusting.

    Wish he'd get a long term injury

    true, but work still to be done at selection, & by the development coaches @ Casey.

    still plays like a point guard basketballer.

    Jack Watts, you can tackle, & get tackled in this game. Just in case you hadn't realised yet.

    oh, & chase; when your opponent is running off with the ball you just coughed up. 'just sayin'.

    It's really inspiring that they can give that kind of output without extracting beads of sweat for over 100mins of football...

    So 3 out of 4 is a positive result... a credit, indeed (at least it was when I was at Uni). Thank God for the AFL's standardization...

    It's currently not positive, but it can be as early as 2015. Yes, sadly my fellow supporters, it's another year over for the demons. Paul Roos, some who would truely think he answeres to 'masih', needs time. Its in my personal opinion Roos should execute a mass killing by October. The following names should be thoes who suvive this exodus: Hogan, N. Jones, Salam, Watts, Toumpass, Dawes, Viney, Trengove, Tyson, McKenzie, Dunn, Cross, Garland, Michie, Vince, JKH, McDonald, Grimes, Gawn, Howe, Fitzpatrick, M.Jones and thoes drafted in 2013.
    Simple as that. Trade players with any wealth:
    J.Frawley - 1st Round pick

    S.Blease - 4th Round pick?

    L. Tapscott - pick in 4th round?

    Finish 16?

    Pick 3: Best midfielder (inside, tough)

    Pick in 1-20 (Frawley): Forward backup for Dawes and Hogan

    Pick 27ish: Key Defender to replace Frawley's loss

    Pick 45ish: Key midfielder

    Pick 63ish: Best available

    Pick 70ish (Blease): Best available

    Pick 70ish (Tapscott): Best available

    We need to keep Frawley - if you think we should trade him you're one of the classic MFC supporters who thinks the draft is the answer; it is not. Frawley is actually a big part of the answer.

    Who would pay anything for Blease or Tapscott? They can't even develop VFL-level form.

    As for the rest, let's leave that kind of discussion until the end of the year.

    I just threw up in my mouth a bit.

    That happened right in front of me. He is alarmingly fragile in the contest. It's astonishing. And it's not through a lack of strength. He completely disregards the opponent and plays and moves like he's a man playing against under-12s. The guy needs a reality check. VFL reality check.

    absolutley pathetic chook, weak as pizz for a man his size, how he was no.1 draft pick ill never know

    I really think that video is a bit unfair and a disgrace from us supporters.

    He was really bad today, Watts, but that passage of play isn't that bad and it would have happened to 15 others today.

    At least he laid a tackle today! We had 5 players notch up a big fat 0 in the T column. People give it to Watts partly because he deserves it, but partly because they're biased. He was not the only player today to play poorly, so why is he the only one to get shamed on YouTube?

    Yeah I got that vomit taste too now that you mention it. Jesus what a joke! I am behind words right now, I need to rinse out that taste!!

    Because he comes with a higher expectation being a higher draft pick. Like it or not, high draft picks are supposed to have at least good football skills and smarts. I don't see this with Watts but we had the opportunity to trade him and we didn't.

    There are no positives. The 2nd Q was a disgrace.

    We should have won the game. Now we sit 1-4 with a full strength Swans waiting.

    With more gut running and tackles we could have been 2-3.

    But we are not.

    If you genuinely do not think there are any positives, just give up and leave us all alone WYL. Seriously.

    • 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.
