    Hannan, Anb, Lockhart, Jetta, Dunkley, pruess were non existent to horrible. Hard to win with 25% of your team handicapping you

    My kneejerk reaction is that Brayshaw is tradeable and ANB certainly is. FFS play Bedford and see what he can do and Petty had a break out game.

    Hannan woeful. Unsighted all day

    ANB. Can't accept him in the team any longer.

    Neville. Very poor, well off the pace.

    Hibberd missing for 2 1/2 qtrs

    Brayshaw. Did nothing all day.

    Lever. Underdone.

    Jones. I am done with you. The poorest captains game you are likely to see. Could barely keep his feet.

    May did well. Excitedto see Petty fwd.

    Fritsch is a shell of the footballer from 2 yrs ago.

    Lewis, just kick the ball instead of handballing to a stationary target.

    Our positioning at the contest is truly pathetic. We continually allow the oppsition free space while we send 3 players to the ball. Insanely dumb footballers and coaching

    2019 can just [censored] off.

    Max was crucified by the umpires - something has to be said. How he doesn’t lose it each week is beyond me.

    Gripping game - a real arm wrestle. Low skills but super tightly contested. Never really felt like we might win, but never felt like they were going to skip away either. 

    Loved Petty as a temporary forward - it’s definitely an option to continue to explore for the rest of the year. Development year, so what better time?

    Goodwin rolled the dice moving May forward and it nearly worked. He is such a beast. I’m a huge fan.

    Preuss has ten thumbs. He actually reminds me of pre-breakout Gawn. He WILL be a useful tandem with Gawn, but isn’t yet. Also Gawn was no good when not in the ruck.

    All in all, just another loss really.

    Certainly did well for the tackle but that kick from Gus sums up our whole year.  Half good..half shizenhouzen.

    So many NQRs we are carrying (for whatever reason) week after week.

    Pressure has been better the last three weeks from some but too many give it up far too easily and we get burnt on the rebound.

    Cant string more than one win together through a series of injuries, poor form, a lack of class/finish and horrid game style/forward quality including forward method & personel.

    Maybe next year!  Where have i heard that before. Nearly five decades of saying that now sadly.

    We fumble so so often and we try and tackle with just our arms instead of getting our bodies behind it and they waltzed on through.

    About as good as it gets for Melbourne these days. Great effort and endeavour.

    Score a good reflection of the game. Lever and Jetta will be better for the run, makeshift forward line was always going to be stretched, but once again, too many players out, too little consistency in the team we're putting on the park and still too many (fringe) players where chains of possession break down.

    Against that, a good opportunity for younger players, and Petty did well, working to his strengths. 

    Final point: Steven May. Bag him all you want, but showed what real, take the game by the scruff of the neck leadership looks like.

    Thanks Pollyanna. You should get out more often

    Bit harsh on Lockhart, looked like he was doing a job on Johannisen and kept him relatively quiet. The rest agree on.

    MFC are just soul destroying.

    Sloppy in going forward, sloppy in close, sloppy 'myrical' handballing when not necessary, sloppy attempting to mark in packs - and sloppy umpiring when held, pushed out, blocking.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
