    How did we lose 3 quarters of football and still manage to win?

    That was infuriating

    Fritsch is a terrible set shot as I mentioned here during the COVID break.

    Has kicked 1.6 to start the season. 
     

    Really needs to work on his accuracy If he’s going to make it as a genuine player in this league.

    Melksham needs a rocket in him or else he’ll be kicking off the dew Hibberd.

    Another unsatisfying win.

    Move him to half back.  Better player there.

    Pick who does less on game day. 

    McSpud brothers wouldn’t get a kick at local level.

    Pathetic effort from an AFL team, barely competitive in the second half. 
    They should be ashamed of that capitulation no matter the result. 
    it’s going to be a long long year. 

    Well, long mentally I assume you mean ?

    COVID has done nothing to change the order of the world. The Dees can still fluff a lead and have you reaching for the life support.

    Still I’d rather learn from a bad win than a narrow loss. 

    Problem is we don’t seem like the sort of club that learns from their performances.

    Today re-affirms Goodwin isn’t a match day coach. Our rolls-Royce list ran circles around Carlton at the start, as soon as Teague made some changes to mitigate our team, Goodwin didn’t do a thing to re-turn things around again and sat on his hands.

    I can never sit down and enjoy watching my club.  I said to my wife after the first quarter watch them collapse now!  Hollow feeling, no confidence nor trust again.

    That was a relief. That was a disgraceful last quarter. Too conservative, too complacent. We are still mentally weak. Jones should retire. McDonald has to go down back and Smith forward. Gawn, Petracca and Oliver were fantastic.

    Lol, unreal return to the footy. 

    Likes for now.....Bennell looked like he got through ok. Trac is just a beast, would’ve lost without him I think. Rivers although not the same type as Whelan just looked like he belonged immediately. Reminded me of Wrecker’s debut. He might even get some votes. Good to see Hunt amongst the goals.

    Some of our boys looked dirty after the game

    The game got summed up perfectly by the team song being done without the captain and having to start over.

    Have to be one of the worst wins ever. Reminded me of 10 years ago when as soon as the pressure came on we go into our shells. Where was our so called fitness, where did the tackling go after quarter time, so many questions not many answers. How many players faded out after first quarter, you could just go on and on. After that effort looks like last year was no aberration.

    Our forward line is an absolute shambolic .  What use to be one of our great strengths has now been gutted and turned to [censored].

    Melbourne don’t win that game without Petracca - Jason Dunstall on fox footy.

    Hats off to Petracca on a magnificent performance. He’s approaching gun status.

    We only won on the scoreboard. Carlton were/are the better team.

    To go from 42 points up and on fire to meekly limping over the line is certainly cause for serious concern, but I'm gonna reserve judgement till after next week.

    First game back after 13 weeks off in isolation and prior to that having played just one game in anger since last season isn't exactly a normal situation.

    I'm gonna call it rust. Very bad rust

    Personally, I think we owe Smith another game after what the club did to him last year.  He hasn't played in 18 months and will be better for the run.  Has clearly more upside than Omac.

    None of the talls played well today.

    I would really like Goodwin to get as upset as I was in that second half. 
    he shows stuff all interest in a winning result, 

    that second half was 2019 all over again bar the last minute or so. 
    I will have no hair if this happens again

    • 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.
