It’s always so different watching it on tv rather than at the ground...close games but this was WAY more stressful and worse to watch than the Hawks bumsqueak last week...

6: Salem
5: Jones
4: Oliver
3: Melksham
2: Harmes
1: Gawn

Apologies to Frost, Petracca, and Lockhart in particular 

We have a serious footballer in Lockhart I think

    Hunt pivotal, Lockhart can play, Fritsch uses it well, Frost playing with confidence.

    HMs ... Hibb (playing a cracker prior to his unfortunate gutsy injury), Viney (up & down but had his moments), T-Mac (effort and the winning point!), FritschKreig, Hunt, Lockhart (starting to find his mojo at this level..footy smarts!) and Hore (mostly for that amazing finish for a backman to help win at the end).

    Marty Hore's goal. Neil Crompton in 64 GF?

    One against team rules for the win, Hore's was probably part of a trained instinctive play Bobby (i'm guessing).

    Either way they both resulted in wins for the club.

    In only his 6th game, that goal was one of the greats for this club.  He is young and will no doubt have a few downs here and there but we've uncovered a beauty in Marty.

    If Marty does the same thing in the last minute of the last game of the year, then we will all be happy ... ?

    6 Harmes - he's really got back to his end of 2018 level and was inspired in the last quarter.

    5 Oliver - the other member of the gang-tackling middlemen society. Sent it forward a bit more this week.

    4 Salem - our silk out of defence.

    3 Frost - seemed to be reading the play better than normal.

    2 Jones - kept working his butt off. His wing/midfield switch with Angus has helped, although Gussie is now not so prominent.

    1 Fritsch - I was critical of him last week but he intercepted well once Hibberd went off and provided run out of defence.

    Hunt very stiff to poll so low this round. He was good all night except for the last 2 minutes where he bought his game to a new level and won us the game. He spots up Hore who kicks the goal to get us level.

    Then when Gawn boots and up and under with about 14 seconds left on to the cusp of out 50, Hunt smashes through two of them and the ball spills to Harmes. We win.

    • 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.
