Backline is under siege and not working well together. Our midfield looks like they couldn't give a [censored] though. They've barely hit a target at all so far. Lucky to be this close on the scoreboard.

Trac looks strong and involved though!

Tracc has a little fire burning under his backside, this year.

 

Need Lever back desperately. 

A lot of new guys down back and it looks a mess. Need to get themselves working together ASAP.

    Defending all over the ground has been horrible so far.


    It's very concerning that we are conceding so many points against us. 113 against the Tigers and already 26 against the Lions and it's not even 20 minutes in.

    Someone on Demonland and Hudson on Foxtel both reported it. 

    Yeah I was referring to Hudson.

    Hore should have punched then. He can intercept well when uncontested, but his actual defending on first few matches has been poor. We'll be far better off when he is out of the team and Lever returns.

    4-1 and we lost that contest. Defensive efforts are non existent today.

    Shambolic. A skeleton just beat 3 defenders. If you can call them defenders.

    We've leaked like a sieve all preseason. Hopefully we step up our defensive intensity come the real stuff, or we're going to be in for a rude shock and a drop down the ladder. Our mids are a super talented bunch, but they've still got to work hard both ways.

    Hunt as a forward looks great. 

    We may well have found his position. 

    He's too good of a talent for the FD not to have a position for him.  And he has the pace and goal kicking nous to play a couple of different roles in the forward line. 

    If you were an opposition defender he'd be a concern.

    Hands in the back rule already a farce. Took them 10 years to get the umpiring right now they’ve changed it again. 


    Spargo and Hunt looking good.

     

    Vanders could get a week for that

    • 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.
