Vanders may not have great stats, but he hit hard, stopped a lot of Crows forward movements and when he kicked he generally hit a target. I thought he was good.

    Weid became more effective as the game wore on. He was good in the final qtr. The important point is that he rucked all day, and he negated their advantage. Credit where credit is due. Jackson showed that he can give a chop out. In the first half his ruck work was promising.

    Chest mark in the last 2 minutes? Yes. He played in front, which was good to see.

    Jones and Jetta had minor niggles in the second half, but you would assume they would be fine for the game against the Hawks in Tassie.

    Other than that I think we came out unscathed.

    Disappointing second quarter,  in the first part we did not seem fully interested,  shades of 2019 I thought,   But once we got going and Kossie had a bit of it,  the rest of the game just got better n betterer.

    I had thought, kiss winning in the west on the [donkey],   but maybe not,   If we are within a couple of goals at three quarter   we should run over anyone in the first few games. Then lets see how the rest d the season pans out.

     

    Go Dees 2020 !!

    Jones had a lower leg injury (ankle, foot?). Jetta was in some trouble with apparent jarring in the last but ran it off.

    Not fussed with the result but some very good signs with Trac, Lever, TMac, Oliver being Oliver, Jones up forward, Pickett (small glimpses), Jackson (didn’t do much but his spring in the ruck was very exciting) and lastly the fitness to really run out the game.

    Hard to work out whether Weed played well or not:

    - fair few on here saying was hopeless

    - he had c.20 possessions

    - AFL listed him in our best

     ?‍♂️

    Weid played a great game. Hes a 196cm key forward who had to ruck the whole game against a 202cm genuine ruckman. Once Gawn and Pruess come back in Weid give us another option up forward alongside Brown and McDonald.

    I thought he played well - he still needs to take the bull by the horns and clunk some marks for us, but when you consider the fact that he rucked most of the day, I think he had a positive influence on the game.

    I don't bet personally, but Petracca is at $81 for the Brownlow.

    Just saying.

    i thought he was good. he's under sized for a ruck but he battled manfully all day. dropped a couple of marks but really offered something at ground level around the stoppages I thought.

    Really pleasing to see them play the game out. We were kicking into a fairly stiff breeze in that final quarter.

    Weid was solid playing out of position.  If he had clunked 3 or 4 of those marks when he had first hands on the ball, his game would have gone from 'solid' to very good.

    A lot to like in that game, I thought we were better as the day went on.  A lot to do with fitness but we became less fumbly too.  Petracca would have received the 3,2 and 1 votes he was that good.

    Weid got his hands on plenty but just couldn't stick them, if he had have held onto 3 or 4 of those marks he would have had a good game.

    Add Gawn to that lineup and we win by a lot more, they had a big advantage in the ruck.

    T McDonald will be better for the run, the longer the game went, the better he became.

    O McDonald basically not mentioned on here, which is about the highest praise the poor bloke gets.

    I wince every time AVB tackles someone, it looks like it really hurts.

    Can't wait for the real stuff to start.

    The best part is he got through the game and made some aggressive tackles. 
     

    That will do me for now.

    I swear a lot of people are just sheep aren't they, one person says weed played terrible, then another person just repeat what the other bloke says, without actualy looking at his game, 20 hitout 19 pos, 3 clearances 2 Mark 3 tackles, by a non ruckman agnist one of the top 5 ruckman in 2019, he's actually had a elite game by ruckman great game.

    Failed to make distance from his shot at goal 20m out in pocket...

    The one that he eased across the face and was marked inside the opposite point post?

    Yeah right. You see what you want to see. Confirmation bias 101.

    • 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.
