Wow. 

My Uncle died last week. He was a massive Tiger man. 

This game will be hard to follow

R.I.P. Uncle Grant

Go Demons....

    Pretty impressed with our start, although I'd wager it may drop off with the heat factor, but we are on top in the midfield and we are generally taking our chances.  

     

    Seen enough to know 666 rule will see us kick quote a few cricket scores this year.

    I am calling it early. Preuss is not really any good.

    I thought Preuss was dominant in the ruck

     

    good on field leadership by clarry that quarter when tigers were coming hard. he took the mark at CHB and could have easily played on but slowed play down instead. passes to angus, he kicks long down the line, reset again then bang, bang, 2 goals for us in 2 minutes.

    They'll get a run in the second half I'd say, with a couple of our senior players getting a rest.

    Commentator just said both sides have their main players in it......uhhhh

    We're missing VDB, Gawn, Viney, Hibberd, Jetta, Lever, May, Jones, Lewis, Melksham and Hannan (i count at least 9 of our best 22).

    Tiges are missing Grigg, Castagna, Lynch and Caddy from their best 22.

    A few missing from Tiges, a lot from our side, commentator clearly has NFI

    Not unhappy with that. Looked clean which is a great sign in JLT, especially in close.

    Now no injuries and no blow out loss and I'll be happy.

    Good to be posting on DL again after the summer hiatus :)

    Fair indication of our midfield depth with plenty out but we have an onball trio of Brayshaw Oliver and Harmes...

    Anybody know how to get rid of the stats screen on my tablet, and have the video full screen?

     

    You watching using AFL app? That's the way it is now. They don't give you the full screen

    Trac is a much better shot on the run. 

    He's like Robert Redford as The Sundance Kid

    Good quarter. It is a pity the commentators talk too much rubbish.

    He's no Max, but he'll quickly become a very handy addition to our side.  If he can hold his own up forward then he can feast on the oppositions second ruckman when he gives Max a rest.

    Most out there from our backline. Which is a bit what we're seeing - rest of the field looks pretty solid, backs not so much.

    Oliver is Oliver, but with the stunning emergence of Harmes and re-emergence of Gus, our midfield bats very deep.

    Pruess’s ruck timing is way off, needs to fix it fast to get that second ruck position.

    Spot on, bing.  Many of their scores came from a turnover or missed spoils.  That won't happen nearly as much with the first choice defence in there.

    Annoying, at least I don't get the Iphone view anymore, and at least I watching the game, not whinging just asking

     

    Hoping Trac can work on his set shots. He’s great otherwise and could be such a damaging player for us this year.

    We look to have good depth through the midfield. Preuss has been fairly poor though. Opposition ruckman have just been taking it out of the ruck against him. Harmes and Brayshaw both look like continuing on from last year and dominating again.

    • 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.
