Danger milked that for all its worth.

The Cat's know how to play the umpires to perfection. They know exactly where that line of infringing is and will hold our players back or slow the game down knowing the umps won't call the real soft stuff but when we do the same they milk it to make it cross the line so the umpires have to pay it

    Another goalless quarter. We’ve got seriously game style and structural issues. We’re years away from competing again unfortunately. Our forward line is rubbish, and our mids lack footy IQ and tidy disposal.

    This club was stuffed the day Roos left and anointed Goodwin. Absolutely appalling

     

    +1 CPs, +4 clearances, +5 inside 50s.

    But we're two goals behind.

    We know this is the style of play Goodwin wants. He speaks about wanting the ball to sit in our forward half.

    Geelong knows this too. As does every other side that we've played since the start of last year.

    We can't keep going like this.

    Oliver is so frustrating! Does anyone else think he just plays so smugly 

    Yep. Needs to adjust his attitude and pronto.

     

    North will be planning who they want with pick 1. May was a huge mistake, not to mention Lever. Overpaid duds.


    Yeah look, not much has changed since last year unfortunately. 

    Gave up 2 first round picks for a useless defender who just gets brushed aside so easily.

    Can’t handle the wet and windy conditions... oh wait

    That was almost a waste of effort. Intensity was there. But if Fritsch keeps dropping sitters, Kozzie misses from 15 metres and we lose on the outside it will be a long afternoon!

    Melksham is just jogging around.

    Has cost us 4 times. Pathetic so far.

    Why wasn’t Ablett given a 50 metre penalty for preventing the Melbourne player to pick up the ball after giving away the free?

    Same reason Danger gets a fifty when staging, and why Oliver is accused of flopping when he’s tackled without the ball.. gee-long

    Nothing wrong with the defensive effort. Lacking any dare and clean take aways, May this be the last game without a second tall and can our first one please find something that resembles form.

    platers wont change their habits ,goodwin wont change his,make a move or 2 you idiot

     

     

    Geelong always overposess the footy so the stats aren’t a surprise. 
     

    I thought we were okay just missed a couple of chances. We’re in this well and truly.

    Should have been the first dropped after the Carlton game as was stated many times here, sadly our coaching geniuses thought otherwise.

    • 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.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
