I posted something similar last week, and it's still true after a win - not getting enough out of the smaller forwards. Spargo, Hannan, VDB and Pickett, not a goal between them and only 1 goal assist. Not many possessions either.

And barely a stuck tackle between them

    Jakey Lever and Ed Langdon not getting enough love. Both won some huge critical one on ones.

    Lingers is a beauty!

    And a big thanks to fox footy or whoever was responsible for the lack of cameras to deem Tracs last goal a point.

    That was so clearly a goal. The goal umpire saw it and I saw it from my lounge room ?It was only the field umpire wanting to get his face on TV. Perhaps his family was watching. Had to prove he wasn't entirely useless.

    Someone mentioned it earlier, but how did the umpire justify calling play on for the Brown kick that clearly went at least 25 metres in those last 30 seconds?

    I've seen kicks go 8 metres and get paid.

    Sorry but l see we just barely beat stkilda. Not a team that l would call a serious threat. Yes they are in the top eight but this is a year where when and who you play really matters. The saints still have to face some top teams, we don’t. The saints out scored us over the final three quarters, their poor shooting for goal was the difference. We need to do a lot better if we are going to play finals football. 

    We just can't win, can we.

    FWIW, I don't agree.

    It made me nervous though.

    Just thinking out loud...will we have to win the next 3 given easy games coming up 4 pies...dogs and giants?

    Langdon keeps us in games as much as May.. his pressure and ground coverage is exceptional

    This is the Viney footage (apparently he's not visible in the team song either):

     

    I similarly ran into the bathroom straight after that win..... I’m sure for the same reason.

    His work rate is through the roof. His efforts to help out our defender but to thrn be an extra option up field is phenomenal work rate.

    Big shout out to Wagner. Thought he did a very serviceable job, given it was first game in a while. Plaued hos role very well. Keeps his spot for sure. Harmes has his work cut out to get back in!

    I've read a lot of posts now saying how good the backline was, and yes, they were brilliant, but we play 18 man defence FFS. It was a team effort. We had stand out performances in May, Petracca and arguably Langdon too, but the team defended the ground and prevented constant slingshot most of the night.

    I dunno what everybody is going on about Viney for...

    I couldn't even make it to the end of the game without having to go ?

    I think we can give Richardson a fair amount of that credit!

    It was totally all Richo. Goodwin was trying to be seen doing something on the bench. But every shot on tv he was doing nothing. Compare that with Ratten. Miles apart. Miles..

    I reckon there’s a better performer than May and Trac tonight. Check out Stafford belting out the song in the background, classic stuff.

    Maybe he ate Viney in the “buffet room” and was doubly pumped?

    Re Viney you could see when they were heading off that he was pretty keen to get back to the rooms and just before they formed the circle he ducked though the door behind them.

    Obvious [censored] break

    vandenBerg, Hannan, Jones and Pickett laid 3 tackles between them.

    I love vandenBerg's intent but if he's not tackling, I'm just not sure why he's playing.

    I'd like to see the pressure act stat (does anyone know if it's available anywhere), as I'm sure the FD look at it, and it might be what keeps Pickett in the side.

    I thought his selection was a strange one, but happy to eat a little humble pie.  Did his job very well tonight.  Certainly holds his spot for the short term.

    • 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.
