OMac playing well, at least. Don't think he's lost a contest and has looked far more proactive.

No he has fumbled easy balls causing our attacks to break down and kick has been shocking. A player with better awareness would have touhced the ball on the line.

West Coast a class above. Whenever finals come round, they'll be front and centre, just so much talent from one end to the other.

They look really good don’t they.

How did the dud centre bounce straight to Naitanui not get recalled? That was just a joke.  

Because it didn't bounce to Gawn

Alex Neal Bullen 1 disposal that quarter.

Someone again tell me what he brings to this side??

Thought we might struggle a bit. You can't name Bedford and Pickett as debutantes and keep ANB in without a worry.

Losing only one game for the season (given this will probably be the last game) is pretty good isn't it!

what a p*** poor effort, eagles chip the ball around with ease as our players playing meters away from or behind their opponents. another 6 or 7 weeks off may help our players to hand pass and kick the ball to their team mates. To think i have been waiting months for this game to come along.

depressing first quarter

 

I remembered watching the Adelaide game and thinking what have they changed in terms of forward set up and tactics, the answer watching that quarter is absolutely nothing. 

Still long bombing it to outnumbered contests instead of lowering the eyes. Are the forwards leading to space, demanding the ball? (Question not criticism)

Seriously we are playing against one of the best defences, don’t drop it on their heads!!!

He's fumbled it twice and still takes 5 years to get foot to ball. But yes, positive!

We've still got no system delivering into and performing in the forward line. 
Seems like poor coaching

If we’d kicked straight, and they kicked crookedly, we’d be well in front, despite Gawn losing hit outs to Nicnat.

Nullify Gawn, nullify MFC. It's too easy for the opposition to figure out.

He runs all day? ?‍♂️

And then he does that ?‍♂️

Only saw the least 5-10 minutes.  
Looked so like 2020 .... randoM inside 50s .... no goals.

Opposution easy systematic inside 50s .... easy goals. 
 

What have we learned?


Forward entry looks like we are still playing 2019 season. Not the start anyone wanted.

 

Pretty pizz poor so far.

Would it be wrong and insensitive to want the player's to start needlessly coughing and sneezing?

Would give us some more time and space ?

Horrendous. We have learned nothing and improved nowhere.

  • 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.
