    Well, what to make of it?

    I thought we were done 10 minutes into that term and then... we just clicked a bit.  We tackled harder, won the clearances and, for the first time this season, took our chances!!

    What it means is that we are well and truly in this contest.  If we keep up this hard work then we are every chance.

    How we are only 4 points down is amazing. Some great inspiring goals by the Skips.

    six, but much of a muchness

    we should be at least five goals down; our accuracy keeping us close thus far this year

    Wow. We should be down by at least 8 goals. But we are right in it

    Big 20 minutes in the rooms

    How much do the boys want a win???

    The whole commentary team have just been waiting for us to stuff up so they can say how loose and leaky we have been.

    I don't think we have been playing great but neither have the Swans and they haven't been all all year so far.

    Yes incredible at times it looked like blowing out.


    They still seem to score the ‘easy’ goals. Where as we look like we work so much harder to score. 

    If we can start to win the clearances then hopefully the one armed monster can create a contest and give spargo melksham and co and crumbing chance. 

    Cmon Dees.

    Key to that quarter was a willingness to taking the dangerous kick on. Apart from Fritz it was non existent in the first.

    Got lucky with a few of those snaps in the pocket but that will generate confidence which we desperately need.

    Jones being moved into the middle has been well overdue.

    We were good in the second quarter last week too. Need to actually show up in the second half.

    we are playing so damn poorly, very few players actually playing well and we are still in the game, thanks to their poor kicking for goal.

    i just wish they would stop this zone defence and man up. When sydney runs and gets the overlap like every other team that has played us this year we are toast.

    If Jones is to play it must be up forward - useless elsewhere.

    Hibberd is gone. Hore showing something.

    Wagners will never be any good.

    OMac just horrible.

    That Kennedy throw was indicative of the umpiring

    Lucky to still be in this game. Our skills are sub VFL standard. Luckily the Swans Are just as bad and haven’t converted.

    The optimism i can take out of this is that our midfield can only get better. They started to show signs in the last 5 minutes. If it continues, we will win this game.

    Brayshaw has to present himself this next half.

    Are you agreeing with me now?

    I never disagreed. I just hate it when supporters attack players in such a personal way. Even if it’s just a figure of speech I would never suggest shooting a player. None of them are out there trying to be bad.

    Need Viney, Brayshaw and Oliver to have a HUGE quarter

    Gee who would have thought Pruess and Jones would be our leading goalkickers

     

    Our third terms have been our achilles heel all season.  You could argue, on the scoreboard anyway, that we've still been in the contest for our first three games at half time and fallen away badly after that.  We need to turn the tide this week and come our firing.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
