Great kick spargo looks like he has gained 5 or 10 meters on his kick... or is there a wind?

 

Gawn is so much better than anyone else on the ground today. He needs to go rest now. We are legitimately [censored] without him. 


Neale, Mcluccage and co are giving Oliver and Brayshaw a bath around the ball. Haven't sen our young stars dominated like this around the ball before (outside the Prelim...)

We might want to match their intensity and numbers at the ball, might help a lot.

Are you subtlety suggesting he needs more depth in his kicking?

Harmes off with finger injury. This is turning into a shocking day for the club.


Harmes dislocated finger.... put the 3rds on the park FFS

Let’s call this game and move on. I don’t like this match. It’s got bad vibes. 


Brisbane playing out of their skin and we are average... yet we're just 8 points down.  Goes to show how much better we can be, and how good we are even when we're not on.

Cut it off and get back out there!

Our forwards have to stop flying for the same balls. 

Bloody annoying, clearly lack of communication, but i'd rather all went up than none at all.

 

Our forwards keep jumping into Weid and ruining his aerial marking attempts. Tim Smith did it against the Pies, Joel Smith did it last week and again today. Weid just had a perfect jump and sit then, but Smith flew in trying to be a hero and spoilt a clear mark and goal shot for us. Getting very frustrating, and a key reason I'm not a fan of J Smith. Just completely lacks a footy brain.

  • 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.
