I have a feeling I’ll be crying into my wine by quarter time as Buddy kicks his 17th goal. 

This sounds like the first line of a country and western song.

    How do you test a broken jaw?

    I can think of other years

    when barracking for my team

    was everything a younger fan could do

    I could never see finals

    for there were always better rivals

    How can you mend a broken team

    How can you stop the raining goals

    How can what's begun stop declining

     

    What makes this club go round ?

    How can you mend, this broken team

    How do these losers ever win

    please help them mend this broken start

    and let them play again

     

    I can still taste the Bries

    pass the mussels if you'd please

    and a dusty Sangiovese while I cry

     

    we will never watch'em in finals

    been outplayed by better rivals

    how can you mend a broken team

    how do we stop them falling down

    …....

    I see nothing in Hore that screams he will make it. Poor decision if he is in the side.

    So who is the player from Friday not on the plane? Neal-Bullen?

    Hore and Spargo should be nowhere near the AFL side. At least playing Preuss would give Sydney something different to think about.

    They are taking a kid who had a broken jaw two weeks ago. This is way more serious than I thought.

    Spargo is tough as guts but.

    i'd prefer him out there compared to a lot of others.  even for a kid you generally know what you'll get

    Yes I think he must’ve left him out in the first tweet.

    I heard SEN mention all but Preuss as well though.

    Not discussing how tough he is. Surely it takes longer than two weeks to heal a broken jaw. Has the smell of continuing to playing Smith with a injury in a practice match. Oh that's right we did not think it would get any worse. God deliver me.

    Well combined with the issues around lack of fitness due to pre-season factors, it sounds like it would be a quite justifiable one.   

    Hopefully that is offset/mitigated by Sydney's 5 day break.

    Dark cloud over this team. Seem really bereft of confidence.

    Goodys pressers make it seem he isnt quite sure how it all went wrong or how to fix it.

    Would love if we turned it around, but history shows how poor we are against them... and up there its been how long since we won?

    Spargo wont play unless Hunt or Lockhart are a late withdrawal.

    Or if we want to try a three amigos small forward set up.

    Or if he plays in the midfield (which by the way is his natural position).

    He got dropped and then had his jaw broken in his VFL match. He got dropped for a reason and hasn’t had time to rectify the cause of his  dropping and build form to return to AFL level. If he plays, it’s poor decision making by the coaching staff.

    • 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.
