How did Viney escape that tackle? Trac torched that play, but that was vintage handball chains c. 2018 there.

 

Something seriously needs to be done about Tracc's kicking action. Its terrible.

    Tracc pls get your kicking right mate.  Give him no other task on the track this week but working on his kicking on the run and set shots.  Stretch the same!  How far off it is Gus!????

    Lockhart is going from strength to strength. Very clever, the kind of smart footballer we need more of. Creative.


    Twice in a row Tim Smith doesn’t jump when he’s in the vicinity of TMac. The first one TMac misses the mark by a whisker, the second spills out the back and he gets a goal out of it. Forwards who don’t spoil each others marks - it’ll never catch on.

    A nice stat....

    Melbourne have outscored West Coast 3.1.19 to 1.2.8 from stoppages. All three of Melbourne's stoppage goals have been from throw-ins in its forward half.

    Fritsch of 2019 is a liability and adds nothing to the side. His kicking has turned to [censored] and he’s getting beaten in the air. Needs a spell at Casey big time.

    Why do we keep slipping over?

    VFL-level awareness there from the 1st gamer. We were off there.

    Oscar panic handball to Salem ...sells him in to trouble as he has no legs at all


    Baker struggling with the pace of the game, but getting to the right spots to link up. Could be decent if he gets used to the step up in pace.

    Few games and he’ll be right I reckon

    Ouch. Not to be heartless but shouldn’t we have the ball since no one touched the ball after the kick in?

     

    Oscar has been quite good tonight. I almost don't fill my pants every time he's near the ball, which is nice.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • 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.
