He’s a shocking kick for goal. 

Not according to the highly paid so called experts.

Each time he lines up for a shot commentators wax lyrical about his exquisite foot skills.

Right before he shanks it.

    We were struggling all quarter with clearances and CPs. Our first quarter dominance disappeared.

    We defended well for the first 3/4 of that quarter but from the Lever turnover onwards we just couldn't stop them.

    Had our chances (Fritsch's late miss and ANB's infuriating failure to run closer to goal before kicking) but if we don't get back on top in the middle we won't win.

    Yep as always, we have a dumb game plan that relies on one thing and one thing only. Dominate clearances. When that doesn’t happen, and it rarely does, we fall apart quicker than a house of cards.

    The umpiring is a joke. Not talking bias just ridiculous, all these in the backs and highs just aren’t there, it is what naturally happens if you actually tackle someone and they go to ground. Then you have the De Boar cameo! Should be charged for staging.

    And two first round draft picks. Absolutely reamed.

    1 goal, and 1 pick when you look at the value of what we got back.

    Also has repelled a number of Giants forward entries.

    Yes, the turnover was appalling, but on the whole doing well so far.

    Anyone got one of those online defibrillators.

    Honestly I don't feel well.

    That's probably because I just a couple of glasses labelled "Romsey Manor"

    Is that a real winery or one of those fortified jobs?

    It’s the silly turnovers that always kill us

    Viney, lever and the umps have been best on for the big big sounds giants . 


    Someone needs to tell viney he doesn't need to take on every player. 

    Melksham needs to go back to the forward line. He has turned over the ball a few times. 

    Max seriously your foot skills are shocking. 

    Baker looking alright. 

    Come on dees we are going ok just need to tweak a few things.

    LOL throwing away a handy lead with little to no resistance.   Same old Demons.

    We had our moments but the umps got very involved that quarter P2J.

    Spargo gets that very obvious high tackle in front we were up by 25 or so for a game high lead.

    It then goes down the other end and who gets a high tackle inside 50 lol.  Then de Boers staging.  Free kick to Lever not paid results in a goal.

    GWS's first two goals from free kicks also.

    They had a shot of him on the big screen at the mini G and he had that WTF is going on look ?

    I agree he looks dumb when the flash to him but I think it always looks like that. My issue is the no plan B. I hate it how we never make a move 

    Couple of shocking turnovers but at least they are trying to play with dare, The game has been even pretty much even throughout so levels scores at the half about right. Need to get back on top at the stoppage and if Viney could please just take first option. 


    How many years has Viney been at the club and no coach has got hold of him and absolutely bashed him until he ldeveloped a right side. Should have been told “ you dont kick on your left until further notice, if ya do its 40 pushups and 50 laps”

    He is SO DAMN CLOSE to ripping a game apart.  

    He just needs to kick those goals and he'll be right.

    I thought so. He needs to have the confidence to kick a basic set shot from 45 in front.

    Conversely, Hunt seems to know where they are these days. I'd back him to snap a goal anywhere inside 50. Strange.

    How is this club ever going to have a future if most of the team can't hit simple targets?

    It's just embarrassing to watch at times.

    As much as I can't stand Goodwin, we hit those targets we keep our lead.

    ^This.

    We started getting smashed in centre clearances which has become a very familiar theme. And failed to take our chances. 

    I don’t think the umpiring has been as influential as others. A couple of absolute howlers our way as well.

    How does Melksham get a game. Cost us 2 goals as a forward!

    11 to 8. Not enough of a disparity for them to change their ways. Might need to get a vuvuzela In to the gabba to let them know how bad their decisions are.

    Because he.. er...*coughs* ... bleeds red and blue...?

    • 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.
