GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs GWS

Well, Pert was talking about playing a recognisable brand of footy...  This is ours right here.  We dominate the play but don't put the opposition away, then have a five to ten minute lapse where the opposition score heavily to snatch the lead off us. 

 

Fritsch just look like he is not getting any enjoyments out of his footy.

Lever had a shocker of a turnover, no doubt about that.

But he hasn't been beaten one on one and has spoiled numerous entries by getting to the right positions.  

 

Max was slaughtered in the ruck and around the ground in the last 5-10 minutes of that quarter. Turned the game.

He's playing on a guy who is 83.

I'll say it again. The ruck position is hugely overrated.

    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 

    Yep you would think in the time he was with us that he would think this isn’t working how I would like maybe I should change a thing or two but not this genius.

    Soft and lazy. He has always been like that though

    Lever and Melksham are in our leadership team.. they are both sub standard, overated footballers who continue to turn it over or have minimal impact. cant stand them.

    Ling's umpiring criticism is something (shady) missed against us?! No mention of anything else whatsoever. But apparently the game has had some "big hits". All Mummy no doubt. Coked up thug.

    Ling's a goose.

    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.

    Yep and when Kossie get a chance of a snap - ‘this is what he loves‘...or ‘look at how great Kelly glides across the ground’. That kind of commentary  is fawning crap. They should just call the game

    Are we watching his kicking?

    Also the Ch7 commentary team has been beyond disgraceful

    You folks bagging Viney, he is having a poor game but last week he was clearly our best. 20 contested possessions and 7 clearances when it was too hard for everyone else. 

    He needs to improve his decision making but his effort is unconditional which was our major issue the last two weeks. To trade him would be disastrous. If he wants to leave as he plays with people who pick and choose when to go, I wouldn’t hold it against him

    if we had more players with vineys attitude we would not drop games like Sydney and Freo

    You almost contradict yourself a little there, mate.

    On one hand you say Max got slaughtered in those last 10 minutes, which you seem to hint had a direct impact on their late dominance.  But then you say the position is overrated.  

    By your logic, if Max stays on top, we do and as a result we play good footy... which would suggest it isn't overrated.

    He plays like a millionaire. Doesn’t do the basics anymore which is what he did so well in his debut season. Has put his feet up after signing a contract.

    Make a move after half time Goodwin you moron

    Maaatteee how does he teach Viney to use his brain, Gawn and Lever to not turn it over under zero pressure, umpire 22 (I think) to stop being a terrible umpire? The game plan has been working.

    Melksham is so bloody annoyiing shouldn’t be out there, making no contribution at all

     

    He has done nothing all season but is good mates with goody so it’s ok and was made stand in captain due to his great form this season. Another quality decision by goody. He is full of them ?

    Love that they've finally made a move with Melksham, as if to say, you're not getting involved enough, so they put him in a tagging role and have refused to put Harmes in a tagging role all year. Staggering move.

    He seems to me to be playing a defensive role on a tagger, in de Boer.

    And who in the media will call out Mumford? physical stuff is fine.. swinging round arms isnt..

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • 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.
