i feel like i haven't enjoyed this win yet as i was so stressed in that last quarter that i'm just relieved.  We'd be the only team to lose from 5 goals up in torrential rain! but we got there in the end. gee, that frost holding the ball could've cost us the game. you could see us trying to lock the ball in but we had too many numbers around the footy. sometimes its better to let the opposition get the ball and tackle them instead of all diving on it and then having to get the ball out.

    By my count it was 5-1 their way in the last q too...

    To be fair, the Jones and Frost ones were obvious.

    The high against Gus? was a joke

    The Frost one was nothing, and had it been a crows player...it would absolutely have been play on. Just shameful umpiring, as usual in Adelaide. The AFL needs to settle down on the rules fiddling and put their efforts into finding ways to improve interstate umpiring. It ruins the game.

    Tonight was a first for me. It was the first time in my life that I desired a cold shower and had one. The reason being I was absolutely sweating bullets after that game. Gee whiz.

    Feel so invigorated right now :)

    Love to know whats wrong with Hogan....rest next week?

    He was fantastic for an injured man in that last contest, though he needs to learn to handball both hands.

    Just got home from the game. Loved the effort in the last quarter considering a gale was blowing to the Crows end. One of the best wins this year for me. Suck [censored] Crows!!

    Watched the last two minutes just now. I'd have passed out watching it live.
     

    It was intense TU. You’ll see some good footy in the 3rd quarter when you watch the replay.

    Tonight was the first time for me. I left the house for a walk around the block when Tex was lining up after the Frost free. I couldn’t physically watch anymore.

     Told the crew at home to leave the outside light on if we win. The walk took 5 minutes and when I got back there was no light on. 

    That was one sick joke they played on me. I’m only calming down now after watching the last 3 minutes. 

    We should be extremely proud tonight Demonlanders.

    No idea the wind came up.  Was still early.  Nice to know and changes the view of the approach a bit

    • 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.

      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.
