A percentage boost and we moved a game clear of Geelong and Hawthorn.

Bring on the Handbaggers next Saturday.

    Gawn and Oliver take a freaking bow. A quarter and a half of good footy though. JKH did ok down back after early stage fright. Brayshaw a little wasteful. A win plus % when Cats n Hawks lost so a big day for our Dees.

    Great to win especially after playing in NT last week but the turnovers are killing us. 

    We cant keep turning it over against the better teams cause they will make us pay big time. 

    Lucky there is time still to work on it.

    Gus is a gun. Awesome second half. Hogan fantastic. Oliver a champ. Gawn magnificant.

    A few passengers exposed.

    Hope jack is back next week.

    Job done eventually.

    Some of the best footy we've played for quite a while, hope we can take it forward, will need all we can next week down at Geelong.

    Bummer that we lost the Saints game. Would be sitting second now.

    Maxy was unbelievable. 

    If he doesn’t win the Brownlow there is something wrong.

    Next week will be the acid test.

    If we give a good account of ourselves (not even necessarily win), then I reckon we are on our way to September. We stink the joint up and we are a 40/60 proposition at best.

    The Doggies, like Freo, are playing a skeleton team right now. No Bont or Libba are really testing them. However, you can only play the opposition in front of you, and I was impressed after half time.

    I’m frustrated. 

    I wanted to gouge my eyes out until Oliver started hitting chests inside 50. Is it that [censored] hard?

    Excellent games by Gawn, Oliver, Brayshaw and Hogan. 

    Opposition were rubbish. I need to see us beat a good team.

    Anyone know the situation with Viney's toe? How bad is it?

    “Won’t see him until later in the year” they said on the coverage.

    They provided a good hitout for a half. Pressure was very good. Witches hats in the second.

    Funniest part of the game for me was when Brayshaw got dacked in a tackle and there was a full moon in the middle of the MCG.

    Kennedy-Harris has 7 or 8 tackles I think which is good but didn’t do much else imo. 

    Given his vfl form I was expecting more  

    Not sure if he keeps his spot next week.

    • 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.

    • 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.
