    Has been a big bear of mine but when did they take the chopping the arms rule out of the game?!?! 

    Feel like we need to get a big lead by half time as we’ll fade out.

    ps there are some Dogs players I really enjoy watching play footy. And like to see Schache playing some good footy too.

    14-4 clearances Dogs way. We really took notice of the first time we played them. 

     

    Jones is angering me now. He is the main 'handball to someone under the pump' guy and he turns over by foot. He genuinely is an issue, a Melbourne of old player. His defensive running is outrageously slow too.

    How is that not under pressure?

    Oscar McDonald is playing way too far up the field for a fullback IMO.

     

    Based on the evidence thus far, we will come second today.

    Umpiring gets worse every week if that is possible.

    We are just pumping it into our 50M with zero reward.

    How long can we keep doing this?


    Carbon copy of our game Vs Saints atm. Dogs working harder to win the ball.

    This. 1000 times this. 

    Don't know if it's effort or structure or talent, but they killed us there last time.

    Gonna be an offensive slog today. Just gotta win it, and the best defensive running team across 4 quarters will get the win.

    Glad I pay for WatchAFL and woke up early (UK) to watch a screen showing me how many minutes I'm missing

    If ever that happens, try coming in through Channel (in the middle up the top), rather than Matches.


    More certain than death and taxes is that Melbourne will blast away inside 50 with long kicks not to advantage

    Just figured that one out, thanks! Good to know next time these muppets can't get their website working. Looks like I didn't miss much

    Its rinse and repeat isnt it.

    There is no poise or class. Its spray and pray.

    so much crowding of the wings when we have the ball, who the he'll coaches these Muppets, creating space is a junior footy tactic 

    Garlett, JKH are both cooked. Garlett's lack of forward pressure is infuriating. He's "throw the hands out to show you're making an attempt to tackle" stands out so much.

    throw him in the middle.

     

    doggies just like the saints moving it by hand fast and opening us up in the back half. Already been discussed how sides can do this to us. Saints openly talked about it after the game...SURELY they have something up their sleeve?????

    • 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.
