Like how we fought back yesterday?

Meanwhile St Kilda finished the game having kicked 6 goals, 3 of which came in a 3 minute burst (i.e. 3 goals in just short of an entire game), in perfect conditions, against a side who hadn't won for a month and cruelled with injuries.

Sounds a lot like Melbourne, actually, and I guarantee you if that had been us with that performance you'd have lamented our terrible skills and inability to score.

Yup

Saints were rubbish. Played 1 good quarter

If Shiel didnt go off injured early they'd have lost by 10 goals plus

    Today, Freo's aging list caught up with them.

    They had 2 less days rest after last weeks game which was a heavy slog followed by a long flight to Tassie.

    A younger Freo would have been a better match today so surprised Lyon didn't rest some of the older guys.

    Hawks are very good but the final score was not realistic of the two team's capabilities.

    Top 4 positions wide open now.

    The way the Lions are playing against Sydney we will have plenty to moan about next week is well. Can't wait.

    Even more reason to be nervous for next week.

    I chose two great games to come over and watch...

    Franklin looks overweight - quite a paunch on him

    He's always looked a bit that way. I think his odd body shape makes it look worse.

    No longer than flying to Melbourne considering they chartered a plane

    Lock in the Dorks for three in a row I say. Who or what will stop them now? Injuries, not likely, one they don't get them (not footy related at least), two they have depth to cover most positions. Their direct threats all have major deficiencies that won't cut it in finals.

    Yes wait and see i guess, the grand final isnt played in Tassie tho...

    AFL got to have a good look at Mitchell from Hawthorn pretty soon. Could have done some serious damage to Fyfe with another covert knee to the hip area yesterday.

    Eliminated Crows best forward Walker for rest of game in previous weeks and probably these two were not the first two. Matthews even brought it up!

    Reminds me a lot of the sneaky sort that used to operate in the late 50s and 60s...

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      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.
