    Are we allowed to forfeit and save money on airfares etc?

    The way I see it, they owe us for giving them a soft training run in the PF, keeping them fresh enough to overrun the filth in the Granny

    then we could justify calling our team a bloody joke.

    So Lewis will definitely miss, yes? Who played well at casey today? 

    Preuss must come back in obviously someone needs to replace hibbard. So next week we are relying on Oscar and frosty to stop Kennedy & Daring? Great.

    Keilty most likely to go for Preuss. Omac should be but who replaces him. I’d keep Garlett in. He’s getting to the right spots, he’s just fumbling at the moment. He’ll find some touch. Trac was our most dangerous forward tonight. Won most if not all one on ones when the ball is on the ground. And gus, he’ll b right.

    Out: Hibbo, Keilty, Lewis (he re injured himself in the last)

    In: Preuss, ANB, whoever played well for Casey (didn’t watch the game as was out for mother’s day)  

    I pray Melksham will be fine, but it’s a short break and a long trip so I’m not holding my breath. 

    I assume Fritsch will go back to defense to cover Hibbo. Preuss direct replacement for Keilty.

    Gus hasn’t played this bad since 2017. Deserves another week given we have players in the side who haven’t played well since 1978 and still manage to get games.

    Out: Hibberd, maybe Melk, Lewis, Garlett, Keilty. 

    In: Preuss (Keilty), T Smith (Melk), ANB (Jeff), Jordon (Hibberd), C Wagner (Lewis).

    My guess is they keep Lewis and Garlett despite the damage they must be doing to team culture with continued weak efforts.

    Simply is not going to happen, the coaching panel do not react in the same way as  supporters, and thankfully they don't

    Hibberd, Melksham and Lewis are almost certain to miss.  You would think Kielty is out in favour of Preuss as well. 

    Given West Coasts tall forwards, I wonder if we might see Petty come back in.  He was emergency today and has been playing well. 

    Given Spargo was sitting out today as an emergency as well, I suspect he comes in.  That leaves one. 

    ANB seems likely as the player with runs on the board, but I would really like to see them take a risk and give Baker a shot.  He's more risk/reward.  He can hit the scoreboard, but won't do the grinding work and assists that ANB provides.

    What you mean they don't put the beer down and dribble [censored] all over their keyboards

    Awful game, both sides trying not to lose, but we got the 4 points

    Coaches will review and make changes if necessary

    We have few players to come in, but will likely need to find replacement for Hibberd, Melksham, and Lewis at a minimum 

    We need Preuss in, obviously, but with our injuries will Keilty be dropped for him?

    I’ll guess...

    IN: Preuss, ANB, Baker, C Wagner
    OUT: Kielty, Hibberd, Melksham, Lewis

    As I recall, nobody played well in 1978 ?

    • 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.
