    Interesting how much confidence affects the ability to hit targets

     

    Players are running fwd off the ball making targets. Tackling ferociously. Pressure is immense. 

    Completely shut the hawks game down. 

    Something has clicked. When we play like this you question where it has been for 18mnths

     

    Let's finish this off dees

    Can always rely on you for a negative comment even when we are playing so well

    Not me noting the mistakes and posting them, I liked what I saw in 2nd quarter, hope for more off the same in 3rd, if we make a mistake, we are scrambling to fix it

    The joys of kayo. Watching the second quarter again.

    How was that kick by tracc to weed? Bullet!

    I’m just worried we will stop in the second half. Five goals is not a big enough margin and with a percentage as low as ours we need to keep going.

    Knew he was there, had the confidence to just roll around and pull the trigger!

    Luv it! ?

    Five goals is a margin we love to concede but I just can’t see Hawthorn getting near us.

     

    Our poise has been better but alot to improve on, better kicking inside 50 would have resulted in another 3-4 goals. 

    Overall we just look so much more balanced with Omac and a Second tall Forward in the side, releases Lever to intercept to his hearts delight.

    Gawn and Petracca on another Lever right now.

    Good times Demonland.

    Agreed, but smarter ball movement and better forward structure also important.

    Anyone else noticed Nev playing a completely different role

    Yes. Best he's played in a long time. Lockhart is doing the lockdown role while Nev has been left off the leash

    Can't remember the last time we took 10 contested marks in a match let alone in a half. Amazing

    • 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.
