Must have a good coach if we can still win when we are as terrible as the matchday thread would suggest.

Demonland logic:

Round 1 2020: 26 point loss in Perth = season over, we are terrible

Round 1 2021: 22 point win at the G = season over, we are still terrible.

 

Not perfect, but plenty of positives.

 

Pretty much what I expected. An uninspiring win against a severely undermanned Freo. May and Lever will keep us in many contests this year.

A Round 1 win is welcome but none of the other teams will be shaking in their boots watching that performance.


In the 8!!

Go you demons!

 

Steven May and Jake Lever were incredible really. As good as I've ever seen from a defensive duo in our colours. 

Won that purely on talent rather than workrate.

Clearances/stoppages and defensive running by mids still a massive issue.

Lot to like about our next generation though, thought Jordon was great, Sparrow cracked in hard all day, Kozzy was a sparkplug, and Rivers and Jackson showed snippets.

Lever sensational, as was his partner May. Great to see TMac find a patch of form too.

ANB and Spargs leading the way for inside 50 delivery, but need their team mates to take notice.

A front-running win.

Got the job done. Will benefit from Viney, Weid, Ben Brown etc being back. Might expect Brayshaw to improve in the coming weeks given his impacted preseason.

Spargo was good to see today. Jordon very solid debut.


4 points. Move on to next week.

Lever has improved out of site. I was his biggest critic but he's really come on


I think we’ll improve. The skills were poor but the intent was good. 
 

Concerned about clearance after watching the Dogs and now Freo smashing us. Once a strength.....

Missed viney IMO without may and lever we lose that game and spargo I thought was really good for all the haters, May bog

  • 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.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
