- May and Lever held up well (did some clumsy things but that happens0

- Tomlinson played really, really well (hats off to him)

- Tracc another solid game



Should be no change to the team heading into next week

Really liked Jacko in the guts and Max up forward 

 

So much for the st kilda fleet of small forwards. They are an average side.

The youngsters played very well. Some loose handpassing and wrong options at times but we have some real talent.

Must kick straighter. It will cost us if we don;t sort it out.

Good to get the win. 19 behinds is deplorable though, and letting Howard just amble back and take intercept marks is poor form. We need a forward line. Good to see Petracca lower his eyes inside 50 at times, hopefully some of the others saw that and realise that it can be done. Its basic football and we are beyond pathetic at delivering inside 50. Good signs from a lot of players (mostly those not in the forward line). Majority team effort.

Have to clean up our entries into 50 and our finishing no doubt about it.

Smashed them in close and in the center clearances.

Sign Clarry and Tracc ASAP for F sakes Dees hirarchy. Bartlett, Pert get the pair locked away.

Tommo proving the doubters wrong and living up to his contract.


Great win. Clarry, Gawny, Trac and Kosie electrifying. Kossie what a star. Bring on the Giants

Bit harsh. The man has bills to pay.

If we ever learn to hit targets - players or the scoreboard we’ll be a bloody good team... until then yuk

 

Saints look tired.. might have struggled from the bog last week..

GWS are favourites next week.. why??

Get to the MCG v the cats.

We are finally worth watching

He does lead to pockets.

most would think the pockets are a larger degree of difficulty 

bloke nailed a crucial goal...from the pocket. 
 

im satisfied. ?

While I'm thinking about it, this might be super strategic for next week, but I reckon we do a sneaky marking/kicking practice sesh this week.

GWS won't know what hit 'em.

Tomlinson did very well in the shadow of May and Lever. 

Wherever Kozzie is, the ball will follow him. He's a pure soul, he just enjoys his footy, "having fun." Love him.?

Over rated till the cows come home, flat track bullies, down hill skiers not an ounce of midfield defensive pressure amongst them.

 


We won a lot more out of the middle today - some great passages of play. Our turnovers and inaccuracy were the blight on the game. Fix those things - or at least reduce by 50% and we have the makings of a v good team. Loving the toughness this year, also.

So happy, Saints had the better of us for about 10 mins in the second but very impressed with the way we swung the momentum back.

One of Salem’s best games, he was unreal today.

Really good win, especially when we looked in big strife in the second. In the end, we really should have won by 30+.

Our setup behind the ball is first class. I just hope we don’t rely too heavily on winning the ball back in defence, we need to stay ahead of the game and what the good sides will throw at us. But bloody hell, Tomlinson, Gawn, May and Lever just set up another wall.

I'd just like to endorse all the other posters in their praise for Goodwin outcoaching Ratten.

He did coach well i only watched till half time last week some definite changes have been made.

Long may it continue, only two weeks in, keep it up Simon and the coaching team.

You forgot Salem . Huge game.

Edited by leave it to deever

Viney will be better for the run. Started like a house on fire but then looked really lethargic as the game wore on. 

Edited by Jaded

 

Good day for the Dees!

Really gutsy win for the ladies and (almost) a dominant win for the boys! If only they could kick straight! 

Salem awesome tonight! Oliver great again! Tomlinson our most reliable defender? 
Kozzie so exciting, Swallow, Rivers  and Jordon solid, Jacko getting better each week. Youngsters were good! 
Howard did to us what May and Lever did to Freo last week. 
Need Viney and Brayshaw to do more.

Need to hold marks.

Need to kick straight.

Melksham and Hibberd to come back maybe next week. Then BB and Weid. 

Could be anything this year! Opportunity is there, need to grab it. 

Tomlinson gone from average recruit to Mr. Reliable, two excellent games in a row, one of the first picked.

  • 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.
