This will be my only coverage of the game here in downtown Murmungee.

Hoping that the retrospective coverage from Demonland will shield me from  or prepare me for the worst and the best.

Brodie Smith a late out for the Crows, replaced by Ben Crocker.

No late changes for us.

They're on the tank. Look out for some strange moves.

    I hope we smash them.  I don’t think my aging heart will take it if it’s close all game with a see-sawing last quarter.  I have a bottle of JD ready just in case.

    My MFCSS still says we're one of the only teams that could lose to a team that is tanking.

    There you go sir..

    And one of the only teams who almost won on the tank. ?

    That late out makes it an incredible 9 changes for the Crows.

    I know we are Melbourne but not even we can stuff this game up.   Lock in the 4 points, folks.   Its gonna be a great night.

    We need a forward line to win by that much Sku.

    Trac to kick 5 and we'll win by 5.

    At least Tomald won't be in Harmes' or anyone else's way.

    Ha!  The last game I saw live.  Buried within the Tigers' members area.  That was fun.  Not.

    I’ll be shocked if we lose this.

    Ultra professional, well coached, trustworthy sides such as Melbourne would never lose a game to a 0-9 side.

    That being the case we will get thrashed !!

    Their side looks pretty good on paper. However, no Sloane or Crouch will really hurt their midfield. It's ours to lose, I can't see it happening, I think they're on the tank also. Even if we win, I'm still going to be looking hard at the fundamentals and execution of our game plan and cohesion, lets see if Stubborn Simon gets the lads firing.

    Y'know Febes, I'd love to agree with you because this makes sense.

    Two things worry me, and I know that I am not on the slow side: firstly, stubborn Simon will be responsible for taking out of the team - or substituting players' onfield time - to disadvantage that cohesion of which you speak and secondly, it has occurred to me for a longer time than I can tolerate that Stubborn Simon does not communicate well with many of his charges - particularly amongst the playing group and I suspect amongst his FD team, as well.

    It is because of this relativity in his role as Head Coach that I remain, week in-week out, very concerned about that game plan (whatever it is) and how he is going to transmit the message to the players with clarity, intent and measurements to observe its successful progress across the game. He does not appear to be a 'feedback' type at all, certainly not a game modifier based upon visual and play observations and requirements. How in the name of hell can he relate these necessities to the players (or 'fire them up')?

    By the way, Febes, welcome back.

    Dry night, Petracca should bounce back and dominate. 30 touches and 2 goals

    Fritsch, Melk and Harley in for good ones too

    Where have you been subsequently! 

    Harley has been “handy” most matches he’s played this year, I’d really like tonight to be his breakout match for the year. 2-3 goal, score involvements, clean kicks. Give him confidence for the rest of the year.

    My steam driven technology, erratic NBN cover, intellectual laziness and general disaffection with paying for private coverfor what is free for most dissuades me from watching and I can't be tossed going upstairs to listen ABC so appreciate any and all comments here.

    i have found it good in the past as the emotions of Dlanders are displayed as visibly as if at the match.

    Do look forwa d to meeting a few of the posters in real time at the G, Redlegs gatherings

    GO DEES,

    DDoes my enthusiasm come through as genuine enough.

    Im even forgoing Mad as Hell for this version of entertainment.

     

    We will easily win this game by 400 points and then lose every game for the rest of the year

    • 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.

      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.
