Neal-Bullen continues to be a chain killer.  Every period of good clean possession ends when he gets it.

It's either a fumble or a ridiculous attempt at a handball.

 

He’s doing ok. Hibberd and Vanders look to be battling. I hope they play Hore in the second half. Spargo also AWOL.

 

However, one big positive have been Langdon and Tomlinson, especially in their roles:

30 disposals and 11 marks between them roaming up the wings.  Absolutely what we've been crying out for.

Disposal is a little shaky at times but, again, that can be forgiven a little due to the time of the year and conditions. Great pick ups for the club.

    Yes some familiar Weid and Anb footy. 
     

    Langdon is the real deal.  Fritsch is ready to kick 4-5!
     

    Lockhart is a lock for round 1 imo.

    What happened to vanders says he was subbed off with injury on AFL Site

    The AFL website does that all the time.  Says they're injured, then two minutes later they're back on the field.  It's annoying.

    ANB's tank still strong, getting to a lot of contests

    more than ever, but he still has no polish and that hurts us as a team.  We are so light on for skilled players.

    If we're going to improve we can carry players with sub-par skills.

    What in gods name is that free for???

    That umpire was stolen by gypsies as a child. The gypsies realised he was no good and left him in the forest for the bears to raise.

    The bears rejected him and wouldn't even eat him. He had no proper upbringing and developed neither acceptable social skills nor the ability to interact with decent folk. The AFL saw his potential to be a field umpire where his background and skill set wouldn't be any sort of hindrance. 

    Here he is tonight making soft decisions leading to a Hawthorn goal. Should we expect anything different ??? Hell no.

    He’s off getting some WD 40 for rust.

     

    Langdon while good, his disposal by foot has been poor. Tomlinson has been good.

    Lockhart BOG for me. Has been stiff by these maggots.

    The game has been very sloppy though. Play like this against WC and we'll get slaughtered.

    Yea I’m not watching the game just reading updates on here and checking AFL Site, so there is nothing wrong with him

    AFL site saying Vanders injured. Update?

    Anyone think we rest Gawn and May for the second half?  Or do we give them another quarter?

    Maxy running laps must be done for the match

    Maxxy was doing laps at ht , being rested for Jackson

    Disposal has been worse than Langdon, both getting to good positions and providing an outlet.

    Vanders hurt his foot. Kicked it into someone and saw him grab it straight away.

    It’s a pretty ordinary looking game. It’s a good physical hit out but I’m not seeing too much to get excited about in our style yet bar real endeavour. 


    Tomlinson missing targets but Langdon kicking over his shoulder. Thats [censored]. May trying to drill passes too low and intercepted.

    • 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.
