    That free and 50 to Crisp was a disgrace

    What do you mean? Disgraceful by Ellis or the call by the umpire?

    I thought the Pies were the most likely to drop out, but that’s gone now. GC really could have won this with a bit more composure. That Holman play on in the goal square to put them in front right on 3 quarter time summed it up.

    Umpires sure followed Gil's and Eddie's orders in the last quarter.

    Still over exaggerating their talent imo 

    That 'superstar' Rankine is just a Kent Kingsley in disguise too

    Geez the Suns are a frustrating team to watch. They could have easily won that if they had more composure. A lot of dumb players too.

    Holman again you [censored]

    I'd love to check his bank statement after tonight's performance.

    It would read something like this 

    Miscellaneous payment  CR;  $50,000

    Agree. Played a good first game. So over hyped. Then done zero since. Frustrating type who loves a trick shot but no pressure or hard running !!!

    Harbrow and Holman right at the top of this list.

    Well that was disappointing.

    But not nearly as disappointing as us losing to Sydney.

    Complain all you want about Holman, Harbrow, Swallow, Cox or the umpires, but it all shouldn't matter.

    18 frees to 8 in Mudpies’ favour.  Similar disposal numbers.

    That small crowd managed to influence them.

    There were some inexcusable errors by the umpires, none of whom should get a final.

    ( but Margetts will, in Perth, and help his boys over the line.)

    Think his point was more that if we didn’t [censored] up repeatedly losing to bottom teams then none of these results would be relevant.

    We’ve done this to ourselves.

    100%

    I think it's fine for us to hope for results to fall our way (and of course seeing the filth miss is just an absolute bonus) but at the end of the day our club blew it with the opportunities laid out in front.

    • 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.
