FFS that is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. I’m just glad they didn’t kill the poor bastard.

    i personally trust the football / fitness etc. staff to be doing the right thing by our players

    Some decisions to play players who are injured have been bizzare. Misson already has a job secured elsewhere so is his performance for the next several months something that isnt important?

    If he wasn’t carrying so much extra weight.. he may have been able to resurface quicker! 

    Actually, if he is fat as everyone makes out, he should have floated!!

    If Trac plays well this week, let’s try and drown him before every game.

    If Trac plays well, let’s try and drown the whole team before every game...

    All good.

    I had a fair few bevies and got home to find one of my favorite players had nearly drowned (probably not even close to what actually happened but that's how I read it at the time.)

    My post was purely emotional.

    The club should do some Mongolian throat singing together to increase their lung capacity. ?

     

    I don't know about lung capacity...  but it Would help with sleep-apnea.

    This is what the Adelaide power stance was missing ?

    That last effort on the boundary line to win that contested ball and kick it forward was huge.

    Please lord let him one day put it all together and fulfil his potential.

    May be he should have a near death experience each week 

    Maybe this pool training,  helps them to overcome some fears, as well.  

    Forcing them out of their comfort zones.

    Something needs to be done about that ridiculous high ball drop. A good player will learn and adapt

    They asked Maxy about it on the radio after the game and said yeah I have never seen a medicine ball used on the MCG before, pointing out what was the pint. Then they joked about his height helping him because he'd have his head out of water. 

    But then jokingly said maybe Petracca should do it again next week seeing as he played well today.

    Apart from that horrible set shot for goal, I thought he was good today.

    I was surprised to see he only had 11 disposals (along with only  2 tackles, 0 goals).   Obviously thats a very low output but he was very physical and had some big moments.  He certainly didn't play poorly, which you'd think he must have just looking at the stat count.

    Still needs to lift big time though.

    If/when he sheds some Kgs,  those number of contests,  and so disposals will increase.

    • 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.

      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.
