    Positives:

    No turnovers.

    Backline kept the opposition scoreless.  May and Lever anchored us well.

    Hussle around the packs and pressure from the mids and forwards didn't allow them to touch the ball at all.

    Bombers are absolute knobs.

    Negatives:

    Conor McKenna.

    We didn't score.

    We struggled again with that mid forward connection and couldn't get the ball inside 50 once.

    Tom McDonald to cop it again this week after not clunking a single mark.

    Thoughts?

    One correction, Conor McKenna was one of the positives.

    Good to see Bennell got through another week and Vanders didn’t break his foot for a change.

    I thought some of the outer fringe shows at the Comedy Festival were appallingly unfunny, this topic takes the top spot

    Perhaps this is an attempted joke. Who knows.

    But saty your relentless bagging of fellow posters, individually and collectively is becoming exhausting. 

    The great irony is that you bag posters for their supposed negativity. Ironic because it reflects a seeming complete lack of self awareness given how negative you so often are of late.

    I know I can put you on ignore (I have done so previously). But i'd rather not. I don't put many people on ignore.

     You are a long term poster that has contributed a lot of good content and positive energy. Your training reports are a good example of that.

    It would be great, in these somewhat dispiriting times for some more of that positive energy.

    The players weren't switched on at all. It's as if they were somewhere else.

    Has been let to get away with it for far too long.

    Moderators need to have a serious private discussion with him on whether he just needs to think about just slowly stepping away from the forum for good. 

    It's becoming very tiresome when every thread is hijacked by his constant negative criticism on posters who are trying to have a fair old footy discussion.

    Someone's starts a thread taking the [censored] out of the current situation and he comes in to give it a wack.

    I've spoken to old demonland posters on bigfooty who are no longer member purely on the fact they got sick and tired of the constant negative criticism from him.

    Let's not lose any more good people thanks @Demonland

    AFL going to screw us for something that’s not our fault. Will need to play an extra match later, whether it’s 3 in a fortnight or dedicated round when the other teams get a rest.

    Honestly do we care in this year that could still crash around our ears? I am caring less every week.

    A season of practice matches,  going nowhere but development.  Lets do It.   And continue Dee-veloping our youngs.

    • 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.
