Happy so far.

There is more intelligence going forward which is good.

I'm also impressed with the Weed thus far. He seems to be clunking them thus far.

Weeds best half of footy (other than the complete miss from 35) for the club.  Very impressed and hope he can prove me further wrong in the 2nd half.  I reckon if he does we win this quite comfortably.

    That was a shocking free. Both had eyes for the ball, AvB didn't leave the ground, Cripps put himself in that position. Absolutely shocking call that cost a goal

    We’ve been a bit fortunate so far. We’re doing far better than I thought. Still I think this can turn against us really quickly. 

    Unrelated, I’m having s lot of trouble posting here. Takes forever to load and often crashes.

    The same people who said we weren’t a chance before the game are complaining that we’re not further in front. Classic Demonland. 

    Yep.  One of the most infuriating things about this board, but it's probably true for most supporter bases.

    We will revisit in a year or two Dazzle I have some doubts but …..??

    Why people think it's a good thing to write off a kid 12 games into their career is beyond me.  Look at someone like James Harmes - he hardly set the world alight in his first 20-30 games, yet he's now a crucial part of our side.  Spargo is a kid with so much time on his side it's not even funny.  He has shown enough this season to suggest he can be a long term player for this club.  Why don't you get behind players for a change instead of cutting them down at every opportunity?

    A lot on this site said as much but clearly he is the selectors Lurve child!

    Yes, because selectors just queue up to select players who aren't up to it.

    Seriously we don’t have one forward at the moment you would feel confident about kicking a set shot goal.

    IMo there’s plenty going right but clearly room to improve. Some critical misses late in the second (Petracca getting too close to the man on the mark was a shocker). But they really lifted in that quarter, they’re a huge second quarter side, and we didn’t just hold them but we won the quarter too. And one of their goals was the worst free kick you’ll ever see. 

    It’s fair to call it as it is, they missed some chances, we missed some chances. Our whole year is a story of missed opportunities, I think it’s about time we actually took those chances. 

    I agree with most people’s assessment of Spargo, he needs a big second half. Otherwise he can’t surive another week. I’m sure the coaches aren’t oblivious to it and will be giving him a rev up. 

     

    Same story though, wasteful bombing inside 50. Makes all our hard work even harder

    Apparently he was reported for it as well.  Absolute joke.


    Chances. We should be 5 goals up. 

    Harmes. Jonesy. Tyson. Petracca. Weideman. All missed (2 points. 3 out of bounds). Excluding Petracca shot, all were 25 metres out. Please kick the goal. 

    Darling ruled out so they don’t have Naitanui, Gaff and their two key forwards.

    If we can find a way to lose to WCE in that situation then Port Adelaide or North Melbourne deserve to be in the finals ahead of us.

    End of story.

     

    Right, I'm logging off for another half.

    I'll see you beautiful bastards at the end when we've won.

    Somehow T Mac needs to get into the game. Been quiet for a few weeks now


    Oliver is supreme, and that was a great composed kick from Kent.

    Exactly what we need.

     

    Weids doesn't look like he can kick very well. Any VFL experts know enough to say otherwise?

    • 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.
