    When Hunt took that mark on the wing all by himself... In the old days he would have just taken off and headed for goal.  Now, he stood and waited. 

    I miss the old days.

    Finally a short kick to an outlet from the square who plays on finds a target and we link up off HB.  This shld be happening half the time at least.  Where has it been?  Continually running ball out of the square and kicking long to a contest is too precitable and rarely gets the ball beyond mid field.

    Petty's been good..making the most of limited opportunities.  Playing IN FRONT!

    Have to agree. How come they can take the ball the full length of the ground by kicking it to each other, when we suffer a concentration lapse after one short kick.

    I was laughing at the idiots suggesting we needed a rebuild . . . But . . . We drafted a hell of a lot of "see ball get ball" types that also happen to be dumb. The runners at least used to help these players setup properly and identify trends. We're absolutely cooked now without them. I was wrong.

    100 % said the same thing to my mate this quarter regarding our see ball get ball players. No smarts at all. Look at the amount of time 3 blokes go for the opposition player with the ball leaving 3-4 alone waiting for the handball receive

    Hey we are still right in this. Reading this thread you would think we are 35pts down.........

    They threw everything at us in that quarter.  80% time in their forward half and only managed to extend the lead by 5 points.

    If we avoid the normal Goody chaos game and can play some decent possession footy (less turnovers) we are in with a slim chance.

    Their forwards are rolling in front of defenders and presenting whenever they attack

    Ours are lagging behind waiting 

    Agree. Need W.Carey in as our forwards coach

    Vineys game a lot more subtle and relaxed, less crash and bash.

    Any chance of Hannan contributing something. FMD, he has been a passenger for weeks.

    Agree on this. He is surviving on 2018 form and our lack of fit players. Needs to lift NOW

    SALEM thank God!

    how many 1%ers does he give us!


    Trust Petraca to [censored] up a simple kick for goal which costs us 2

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      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.
