Win the last without injuries.

Then bring on the Swans.

    Bit of a lapse but didn't lose the quarter so I'll take it. Need a strong finish! 

    ANB dreadful turnovers that should be goals.

    Panic merchant.

    Let’s be honest here, we’ve played one good quarter and that’s it. Disappointing. 

    Bring this slop the next 3 weeks and we won’t make finals.

    2 goals to one that quarter... getting worse

    Getting worse or nothing to play for? We've won. We've got an unassailable percentage. We have 3 tough games coming up. Why go for the kill?

    Sloppy. I want to see us put the foot down in the last quarter.

    We need to be sharp to beat the Swans. 


    All well and good to be miles in front and obviously I am happy about that but we need to develop a real killer instinct mentality and should be 100+ in front now.

    Exactly

    The Swannettes will be sore this week

    I’d rather us keep the momentum going and build this percentage than worry about the probability of a potential injury. Foot down. This footy won’t win next 3 weeks. Oliver and Brayshaw freaks as usual

    Goody looks nonplussed in the box late in that quarter.    My armchair emotions are a bit more outlandish.

    They’ve been a rotation down since Q1.

    Look at the end of the day I’ll take an 80+ win with no injuries. That said I hope Goodwin does give it to them a bit, some bizarrely stupid decision making and a massive ease off of pressure. 

    I swear since the seven commentators gave TMac a big pump up of his set shots he’s been 50/50. Really should’ve snared that one from a great mark. 

    Anyway 20min of footy left to leave the suns a mess for next week.

    Unassailable percentage? Cats play Suns and Dockers at home. What do you think they will gain in those games? We are wasting percentage again. Hope we out score them by another 6 or so goals this last quarter. 

    normally would be rapt this far in front at the break but really that   qtr       was pathetic,and           oscar please go home

    It’s not easy playing witches hats for 2 hours. They were lifeless and dead at 1/4 time

    Geelong play Gold Coast in Rd23...in Geelong...186 may be under threat

    Too many want to coast when presented with an easy win. Why is This. Mac being outmarked by a midget.

    You've summed it up Jaded.

    One quarter if very good footy then rooting around against a injury ridden bottom side.

    Yes we win. But how well have we played?

    2nd best percentage in the comp with 4 less wins not enough for you?

    4 goals this quarter Jesse and your back in the Coleman race!

    • 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.
