    JKH isn't shining today like I think a fit Hannan would, but he definitely looks like he has picked up the pace of AFL now. No longer a liability, so…faint praise I know but it's better than nothing.

     

    We must have been sprayed with Mortein.

    You can't expect a team to hit every one! In saying that, I think we are also playing pretty well. Just a little loose defensively but we'll see how it plays out. Trac needs to hit the sticks when he has the chance rather than trying to lay it off so much

    They were but there was just the odd one that would bounce near the boundary when they could have been off.

    Spargo not going to be out of the team anytime soon.

    Umps gave them a couple of free shots to end the half. Fortunately justice prevailed and they missed. A little worried we'll have a one man bench in the second half.


    The AFL have given the umpires the green light to do everything in there power to award BWS free kicks at any opportunity.

    Just flicked on for the last 5-7min, very impressed with the commitment from all the players as well as the urgency. They know the temperature has already risen.

    Umpiring has been absolutely fine. Open the other eye, people.

    Amazing that when we win no one complains but as soon as we lose it’s on the umps. I agree umpires not too bad.

    Incidentally, there are maybe 50 GWS supporters behind their goal. Virtually nonexistent cheer squad over there. If supporters count for anything we should get over the line.

    It's been fine except for the Jetta HTB. That should have been called high if the one 30 seconds earlier was.

    Well, as fine as umpiring can ever be.

    Mostly ok, but those two free goals they tried to give away are a big problem.

    Vandenberg 50, nev at the end of qtr, no way is that holding the ball. A couple others for good measure too.

    what game are you watching?

    how bout the 50 on Vandenberg? were lucky they havent kicked straight, thats why no one isn't cracking the poos.

    We’ve been given some charity ones too so think we’re doing just fine at the moment

    • 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.

    • 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.
