  • Gawn gone, hopefully we will peg them back a notch or 2.
  • With Gawn and Viney out they're virtually leaderless now.
  • No Gawn, no Viney...NO EXCUSES.
  • The best thing that can be said about Gawn missing is that it greatly enhances Goldy’s All-Australian chances. If Gawn had towelled him up again like in R23, it may have been a deciding factor for the judges.
  • Jed to Oliver, was in decent form last game, but he will miss Gawn for sure.
  • I actually would have liked to see Gawn play, want to see where Goldy is at and Gawn is the only one to have gotten a hold of him properly.
  • Gawn had to play v Crows; a) for the win, and b) save sack Goodwin's his job

Everything else

  • Doesn't matter who we bring in, we ain't winning. Both teams have been ****ful this year, but Melbourne's talent will be enough to get the 4 points.
  • Jed to Oliver. Lmac to Petracca. Shut those two out and we win the game. Death Ride continues.
  • We must win this. Loose this and they have Collingwood and the Bulldogs afterwards, should all but write off their season.
  • It pains me to think that Melbourne must be favourites.
  • The sooner Melbourne know their season is over the better for us as they will collapse.
  • Need to put a fair bit of time into Petracca, he can’t run freely.
  • Melbourne have no potent tall forwards.
  • Keeping the Demons defenders accountable (May, Lever and Hibbered) will hold the key to us having a chance.
  • Taz McKay and Durdin down back. That’s a a big backline. Do Demons have a penchant for bombing it long?
  • TMcDonald named as their ruckman is interesting.
  • Bennell being managed again helps us too. Just the type who would snag 3 against us.
  • What does it say about Preuss when they chose to go with McDonald as your main ruck rather then him?
  • Mcdonald was ok a few years back, they had Hogan before that, but otherwise they are a bit thin yes. Now watch Fritsch kick 5.
  • Fritsch, Weideman and Jackson should not be taken lightly.
  • Assuming we win, where do Deez fans go with the a Snowfields closed? Holiday homes on the Mornington Peninsula?

    Don’t wanna burst your bubble Ding, but every team’s supporters (or at least a portion of them) think their team can beat every other team... it’s kinda what keeps them coming back each week even when their teams are [censored].

    On your last point, sure you’ll take it and then spend the next week moaning about how it’s evidence that ‘every team thinks we’re gettable’ ?

    Oh no.... someone might use evidence as..... evidence.

    Wow.

     

    If we win well, that wont change what teams think about their chances. Every team rates themselves a strong chance against MFC.

    “I usually force myself to watch the replay after every lost game, but not this time baby.”

    “Absolutely spiritless. They look like they have no ******* idea what to do out there. Whatever the fu** our game plan is it needs to be completely torn up and start again. We are beyond ******* awful.”

    “I'll tell it like it is: we're tanking.”

    “We lost to a team who’s captain was Jake Melksham.”

    (In response to “JMac’s tackling and composure were top notch”)

    “100%. His 14 touches (12 uncontested), one slicing run through the corridor and 2 massive tackles were scintillating! Where has Chris Judd mkII been all our lives?”

    “The next time one of these soft campaigners tells us how hard being in a hub is I hope someone punches them in the mouth. Come and live in Victoria at the moment you self entitled w***ers! If this is what they want to stand for they can go get f’ed!!!”

    “Most of mates/scumbags barrack for the dees. By the 4th qtr the banter chat on WhatsApp stopped. No gloating no rubbing it in. We were that bad that blokes who thrive on giving it to one another felt they needed to ease up on me. F **n demon supporters feeling sorry for us. A new low. A new low.”

    “Stood underneath the coaches box for the last five minutes after spending the first 16 mins at ground level. Yelled out to Brady and co - it’s [censored] we’ve spent a decade and never won at AO - there’s no leadership it’s ******* quiet atground. Level no direction. Cut the fat sort it out.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?
