No doubt we are struggling a little at the moment.  A few of our guys, namely Viney, Gawn and Petracca need to impose themselves on the contest a little more.

    I'm also liking what Sparrow has brought to the game so far.  I was one of many saying he looked a fair way off in the JLT series, but he's certainly stepped up so far here.

    Good goal to Fritta.  We needed that steadier.


    Fritzel takes a screamer. Eddie calls it like he’s commentating a funeral.

    If it was De Goey he would have messed his pants.

    almost twenty minutes without an MFC score... we need to get a few now

    and right on queue !!!


    Their run through the middle is troubling us at the moment, and they're getting first hands on the ball when it hits the deck.  We need to be working a little harder.


    Port are pretty much running us off our feet, been our trouble for 12 months speed kills 

    Wow there midfield is cutting us up.. our delivery inside 50 is just pathetic!


    Gee our pressure has dropped way off. Goodwin needs to set them straight again. Our key players need to start standing up. 

    I think the players thought it was just going to happen 

     

    That was coming.

    Big 8 minutes ahead, especially for our leaders.  Whose going to stand up and right the ship?

    Lucky they can’t kick straight we look gone at this stage

    • 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.
