If we can hold Brisbane to 27 goals we can consider it a win. 

 

Clarry's been quiet too. We appear to be half arsed in our tackling. Hope they get their act together in the next couple of weeks.

 

Guys it’s ok. We are handballing it a bazillion more times than kicking... it’s all good!

Only positives so far are Hunt and Petracca playing to their strengths and having an impact. Gawn is wining taps, but it's not leading to any effective clearances. Everyone else is playing poorly, and the effort is non-existent.

Hope the coach gives them a rocket and makes them have a crack. We're getting shown up by a worse team than us who are more organised and working harder.

attitude going into, preparing for this game

For what it is worth, just saw Preuss walking off with no limb

do you mean limp

 

We are playing like a side that doesn't want to be out there, soft dropping marks, its like we just want to get through to round 1

 

Good god ANB is horrible.. can never keep his feet and just fumbly at all costs. 

Hibberd is a worry for me.

JLT melts in full swing...

Not sure if you've noticed Sisso, but going back to early 2000's, our season proper has generally reflected our pre-season form.

Imagine having to go to Amersfoort ?

I've been to both Cranbourne East and  Amersfoort. There are an awful lot of Dutchmen there but frankly, I prefer Amersfoort.

Lions taking this game very seriously. Dees taking it half arsed. Scoreline reflects it. 

Is it for four points? No. Just get through boys.

Nibbler has been awful this pre season. No other way to dress it.

Yep about to say... nibbler hasnt hit a target all game and is going to ground WAY too easy... 

a few egos deflated in that qtr playing like a bunch of prima donnas  and shirt lifters

 

Oscar is a spud he will cost us games he gave away the first 3 goals bring in Frost.


Started ok with their first 2 goals coming from Oscar McDonald being a total turnip.

After that it’s been lazy tackling, poor skills, inability to get balance at a clearance or a crumb and the backline going to [censored].

Why we are playing a spare behind the ball in a practice game is beyond me. Are we really that slow????

Not surprised Brisbane are good. More disappointed we can’t string any midfield skill together

I backed him last week, but he missed a handball, slipped over etc. He had a bit of a mare early.

Possibly, can’t find it in myself to get worried about this yet though 


Watt do you think happens... when players go into a game,  and play to not get injured. ????

At this stage I’ll take my chances with C wagner over ANB

AVB cheap shot. Why? So so so dumb. 

He thinks he’s Jordon Lewis 

Poor JHK that looks awful! wishing him a speedy recovery.

  • 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.
