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.

Goody seems to have shown a bias towards a "play on and kick down the line" method IMO Dimmy.

Thats ok if you have regular marking beasts that can take advantage and/or you are usually winning the clearance from related stoppages.

At this point we arent doing the former much at all and the latter is only about even vs the opp.

The outlet kick to a pocket is 'usually' a much better option.  Even if you can't link up you are at least an extra 20 meters further away from the opp's goals down the line.

 

Frost had to punch that to thr boundary 

 

Hard to believe Richmond let Lloyd go. He’s been one of their best.


2 goal turnround from Petracca once again missing an absolute sitter of a set shot.

Bloke will never be any more than a "B" grader.

Trade.

    Gawn pushed in the back..........play on. Joke of a game.

    We wont win this ... You can see the Dogs being all over it.

    We are too busy complaining to the umpires to actually make a contest.

    Go back to when a number 2 draft pick fluffed up a simple kick for goal. Game over. 

    Learn to kick Trac. You’re a bloody forward liability!

    • 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.
