Alright lets build up a great lead then take our good players off towards the end. 

Bring it home well Melbourne 

 

from the AFL site

at least one positive from this mess:

Christian Petracca recorded quarter-highs for disposals (12), contested possessions (nine) and clearances (four). He was the only player to record more than one kick (four) at an efficiency of 100 per cent.

    We actually need to kick a swag of goals considering what is happening in Hawks dogs and considering north will win by 1000 points tomorrow

    Glad the dinner party I’ve been hosting has just finished and I’ve missed having to witness that scoreline


    Just now, —coach— said:

    Are north playing Frankston?

    They're glad they're not

    Great kick inside 50 from Billy Stretch there.  More of that would be great.

    ANB misses a sitter.  Anyone surprised?  I'm not.

    Nibbler doesn’t deserve to hold his spot on this form.

    ANB is trying his hardest to prove his defenders wrong.

    Sh|| t ! Really??? The wevver forecorst (say in tony grieg voice) said 25(ish).

    start pulling players to rest!!

    I know his opponent isn’t a world beater, but Frost has been very very good


    I notice Jones is getting caught a lot more this year. He's just that tad bit slower now. I fear the end might come for him a bit quicker than we though.

    is garlett still on ??? or just having a quiet one again

    He's kicked a goal and everyone said that was enough 

    My love for BF is huge, so many modern players would have tried to milk that high contact, he is just getting on with things, such a ball player.

     

    ANB golly ... cant hit a barn let alone a door!

    Get off Neal Bullen

    • 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.
