Tracc a solid game tonite.  Loving the mid field starting 3 of Tracc, Brayshaw, Viney ..mostly no Jones, Viney & Clarry.  Much better Goody

 

We have won the game, now time to kick the goals we should have done in the 1st 100min

 

Hogan wow.... so far off being a good key forward right now

 

I’m off the Hogan station wagon

officially a couldabeen champion 

huge potential but needs smarts, real application and intense desire at the footy

hugely frustrating

    Are all you ANB whiners going to give him credit for the goal, or do you only pipe up in the bad times?

    ANB might miss a few, but he's clearly best 22.

    probably is...says something about what we have at VFL level

    Spargo just made a contest then and was penalised.  What in the world was it for?  This isn't netball.

    Dont let that goal fool you he has been [censored] house tonight well and truely deserves to be dropped.

    Both mentally weak 

    Are you a fan, last thing he is, is weak, trained like a demon to make the most of limited skills, huge running effort, and you call him weak... fair dinkum NFI

    So disappointed with garlett tonight. 

    Some of us tried to point out he has no form.

    This is a different MFC to last week. Much more desperation. Is goody holding family members hostage, Taken-style (anyone got a hotline to L.Neeson)

    Hogan is almost afraid of leading at the footy in the forward line. Look at how his defender played the ball and marked it on his chest. That's what Hogan should have done.

    He barely leads then keeps losing 1 on 1's - contested marks are just not his game at the moment  - I'd get him out of the forward line and just leave T Mac deep.   He's in a real rut.

    And who are you gonna bring up? Bugg? Worse kick, worse endurance.

    Another Viney Bullet handball. 

    Viney & Jones ...crazy chit from experienced players, especially in the slippery conditions

    I feel for ANB a bit.  Clearly he is getting everything out of his abilities, but too often he misses an easy shot, or takes a wrong option and it really lets him down.  If he can clean that up, and I think he can do it, then he could be a really handy player in our side.  As it stands he lets himself down too often, but you are right to argue that he is certainly not weak.

    need to kick a few more and take away some percentage from this hell hole.

    A few late goals to freo would really top it off !!

    Typically - what does one do with players in a rut? Send to the 2s?

    FFS, we're over 50 points up in Darwin. You'd think we're down by 80 with some of the negative Nancy stuff

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      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.
