Three things stand out.

Gawn dominating the hitouts, swannies dominating clearances. How? Why?

They play one on one so no dee is free. We play anywhere so they are all free when needed. How? Why?

In any contest when the ball is there to be won in a pack, they win the ball, clear to an open player and then deliver downfield. We kick/handball blindly out of the pack to no one in particular. I think it is called "hail mary"  How? why?

Failure of coaching/teaching. If I can see it, why not the coaches?

    19 actually - and both way ahead of a lot of other players who you could have named. But didn't.

    Yea my mistake but I still think they shouldnt be there. So you think these guys should stay before others.

    Well done.

    I reckon Goodwin would be a good local footy coach, “just be strong around the footy boys!” 

    Thats his answer to everything 

    Ha, not even half the coach that Reggie Hoskins is Deez.

    And people shot down my thread about needing a rebuild. Love for those people to tell us now where our improvement is going to come from.

    You can't deny it. I was also attacked by some for saying it. Pert effectively admitted we need to rebuild by saying we lack the depth of finals teams. You don't build depth overnight. How many on the list outside the top 22 get a game at another finals team?

    IF anyone is at the game, and still has any enthusiasm at all, who is playing back up ruck to Max?  (Serious question so don’t  say Spargo)

    I wasn’t one of them but my thoughts are that some tough calls need to be made.

    We can’t carry Jones next year. 

    Hopefully we get pick 2 and use it, not to be on traded. 

    Trade Petracca (I know I’ve said this before, apologies....)and package him up with a future pick and make a bold play for some class off half back to replace Hibberd.

    Draft in not one but two small indigenous fwds. We need some energy and creativity  up fwd.

    Not all the answers but a start.

     

     

     

    The test is more interesting BA.  I've switched over.  We are unwatchable now and in any league with a bigger population/following we would be relegated.

    • 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.
