Is Gawn struggling with the captaincy? 
He’s having a shocker.

    Geez, I haven't seen Gawny play a game like this for ages. He seems crook or something.


    Better but still wasteful. 

    Surely Stafford is on thin ice.  no forward structure last season looks like its continuing here.

     

    Despite the woeful first half, if we’re still in the game at 3/4 time, I think we’ll run over the top of them

    Yeah something's off. Looks very lethargic.

    Absolutely ****house!! Seems like the lads don't want to be there.

    I'd wager most of them actually don't want to be there and I don't blame them. Pointless playing AFL under the circumstances.

    Only three highlights. Performance of Viney, Lockhart and Pickett.

    Performance of Gawn, brayshaw, TMac, Tomlinson, Oliver, Melksham, Brown, etc has been pathetic.

    Spargo and OMac definitely have some compromising photos of Goodwin... 

    I know it’s in fashion to beat on OMac but he’s been very good. Has done more than May and Lever

    So many player’s disposals have been terrible, but Hibberd’s have been nothing short of damaging to us. 
     

    I’m annoyed that this season stoppage is going to take the heat off Goodwin. He’ll likely stay coach till 2021, by sheer default. I cannot wait till we have a real one.

    Oliver, Brayshaw and Gawn are MIA.


    After watching the first half, I'm certain the team has the coronavirus.

    The symptoms are all there:

    - Fatigue (walking around)

    - Coughing (up the ball)

    - Fever (explains the poor decision making)

    Hoping for a full recovery in time to make the finals this year...

    Honestly... Ive hated Goody's game plan since he implemented it. Can look amazing when it clicks. Dominating the game but bombing into the forward lines followed by the easiest transition for opposition goal is terrible to watch. So frustrating.

    Remember when we had Paul Roos who was defence first and focused on reducing fumbles. Wtf happened to that? How did we 'transition' to this chaos ball rubbish?

    My husband said he looks sick. Maybe he’s not well (no Corona jokes). But it’s the worse game I’ve seen him play for some time.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      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.
