    We are always one on four or five. 
    Horrible lack of accountability.

    Disagree.  In fact, I reckon we were the slightly better side... except for the turnovers which killed us.  If we cut those down by half we would be two goals in front.

    but we're not. you could say that about a majority of our games the past 18 months. this isn't an uncommon issue. it's a consistent theme. turnovers are symbolic of the broader issues.

     

    Everytime Gawn gets the ball he turns it over.

    Pickett is out of his depth.

    Bennell has looked classy.

    Viney best of midfielders.

    True, and this is terribly easy for me to say, but take that away and we're the better side.  It's a massive thing though so it's difficult to justify, but I think around the ground we've been better.

     

    Now it may just be me, but I thought there were a lot of looks when Goodwin was speaking that suggested 'weve heard this before...'

    [censored] off with Weideman copping holding the ball then missing out on our 2 clear free kicks.

    Square up there.

    Kozzie getting the dodgiest free kick of the round there.  Bit of a square up for the five they missed earlier.

    Sounds like we've got the crowd on our side. 

    Not hard against GC

    Reminds me of the one bloke near the mic when we play over in Adelaide celebrating every goal.  Love it.

    I don't care what the commentators say about the Pickett free. Makes up for all the ones we don't get in our forward line. 

    This  HTB rule change is a calamity

    • 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.
