Man I dunno. It's a game I guess. We're lucky to be in front but we are working our backsides off and especially our backline.

What will be will be, I'd love to win but it's been a great effort to get here. Give it a red got crack!

    Predicting big second half from Clarrie and Gus - they tend to get better as the game goes on.

    True, and my word we need them! 

     

    Our defence has been fierce, the pressure has been good, not at the level of last week but we can get there. We need mids to go up a gear like a few 3rd quarter responses we’ve had this year.

    I agree was basically a basketball charging foul situation.  I don't think it should have been a free in AFL football, but it would have been very hard for Oliver to stay upright.

    Definitely a free when 50m off the ball


    Third quarters are our thing. Let's see how we go. If the Hawks get on top again they will be hard to stop.

    Oh well, we are ahead. Melksham and Hannan need to lift. And Tyson is useless

    I don't like Tyson being caught in our defensive 50.

     

    They’re worn down... we’ll crack ‘em open this quarter I reckon.

    It's all over Twitter. Fox footy saying he dived, AFL Nation asking people if he flopped. 

    But no mention of Sicilly a couple of minutes later flying out the front of the pack.

    Technically yes, but if all those are given in finals, it will get farcical.

    Took Spargo 3 attempts before he hit Brayshaw for that last goal. I still wonder if he is up to it.

    He may not be, but right now, he is. His pressure is good.


    Saw Kennett on tv. Am hoping to shove it to him.

    • 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.
