To be honest Jaded he is leading with his head. It is brave but poor technique and to be honest, dangerous. Needs to change it.

If it was Selwood they'd all be saying it was courageous and talking about how many weeks the other guy should get

    It's weird, I don't feel like we are playing all that badly it's just little errors here and there that cost us.

    Felt a little bit the same and then I tried to think of who played well that quarter and I struggled to name one

    Goodwin needs to eyeball the midfield at half time, surely they can improve on that

     Dam buster alert! That quarter had way too much % time played in Brisvegas's forward half. Keep dishing up more of the same next half,  the pressure  will crack our defence wall. Some very gettable goals missed don't help.

    Brisbane worthy flag fancies. They are super.


     

    Not 15?????????????

    When the umpires department is led by incompetents, every kick looks further than 15m

    Hate to disappoint, but it's like this every match, every week. A crisis, ignored by the AFL brass because ???? who the [censored] can work out what they're thinking.

    Now that kick to langdon?, definitely 15 

    Poor choice by Weid to play on.

    Their general field kicking and work rate to get off their opponent is better than ours after quarter time.

    Just can't see us winning this..

    Brisbane are on another level unfortunately. 

    Agreed Dazzle. this is about if we fight or if we roll over

    signs aren't; good so far

     

    Oliver surprised because he's never had a holding the man free kick

    Anyone who still thinks we will win has rocks in their head.

    Their switch is epic. Either that or we’re not running very hard

    We are plodding.

    • 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.
