Poor kicking skills is our biggest issue IMO.

 

Has been for a while. That includes field kicking and handball as well.

Tell you what, North should be well ahead. They have 1 VFL too up player and we have 8. To be honest i have never rated them.

Bland and boring football club who will be bottom 4 this year.

Good move IMO.  Both have had a good hit out, now to rest them before next week's Marsh Series game.

    Type of match where the positives will far outweigh any negative. Pickett is electric, he is quick, he is fierce. He really does have a cyril type of presence.

    Mitch Brown might be the cheapest best pick up in a while.

    If he learns how to kick straight

    Yes,  he could have kicked 6 or 7 in his first 6 qtrs for us. Traditionally i think he has been ok.. 

     

    Bradtke looks a long way off. Getting rag dolled.

    A very long way off Nel.

    Loving Trent Rivers.  Very happy to take them on and can then hit a target 40-50 metres away.

    Jordon has a real crack doesnt he? (Channeling my inner Broocy)

    Rivers has a HUGE leg on him. Looks a real player imo. Super excited by him, which will only get worse as i get more drunk.


    Rivers could play more games than expected. Lovely kick. We have needed another good ball user so badly.

    Rivers taking off and nailing target up the middle of the ground was great. When we drafted him I said he'd get most game this year of our current draft crop and eventually replace Hibberd across halfback. He's looking likely!

    Rubbish set shot from Bedford. Needs to do better if he ever wants to crack a game at AFL level.

    Sparrow looking good today as well. Love his hardness.

    Lockhart developing well as a back pocket. Could be the Jetta replacement in a few years time.

    • 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.
