Think the most disappointing thing about this game so far for mine...

... is all those empty seats!

We'll get back on track. I have faith.

30 degrees at the MCG.... fitness will be a big factor in this second half

My MFCSS tells me we're not the fitter side.

Hope our skills make up the difference

Feels strange sitting at the G watching the footy and wearing a singlet.

Sorry Eddie, it’s not a very silvertail singlet either.

Cmon Dees, get your system back.

    How many times have we seen an NQR Viney come back too early in the last few seasons? 

    • Shocked 1

    Can't say I am surprised. We looked exactly the same in the JLT. We look very one paced in the midfield.

    Still in it. Just need to start being a bit cleaner with the ball and get it back on our terms.

    Yeah been pleasantly surprised about Sparrow, thought he'd take time settling in VFL before debuting.

    Has not looked out of place.

    Off track may be part of the issue.  The Met off track that is.  

    Imagine the prospect instead of a crowded train after the game, a bus ... how many will be needed and how many will be available.  

    I know people who did not come for that reason.

    We’ve had a great run with the umpires.

    Thought they've been generally poor overall, despite the numerous rule changes and clarifications

    If we can't win with them playing J. Watts in the backline then I'll be really worried. Only a kick in it and we've not played well with lots of the side down. C'mon lads lift.


    Gawn should come out for the first ruck contest stick the leg in and win the contest. 

    Im sure Goodwin will structure us back on track. 

    Big big 3rd quarter coming up

    18 frees to 8 our way. Once the eveners start getting paid we might find ourselves in some trouble. Our guys look very tired already and they are fresh. Not great after the first 15 mins. 

     

    Time to lift boys 

    It's probably even already from when we last played in Adelaide

    Harmes just had a spew on the field when he came out after half time

    That's a good omen he's sick to his stomach with what we dished up that half.


    Great kick from Trac, and smart from Melksham.  Let the captain kick the goal to get us going.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
