Thanks for that. Fingers crossed May is ok. Hawkins has form with 'accidental' elbows, so I'd definitely be on reckless side of fence 

 

Accidental elbows.

How convenient.

Slow mo looks like his forearm smacked his face in the tackle as he was trying to get rid of the ball. Maybe accidental, but gees Hawkins has form. 
May looked horrible going off. Hopefully it’s not a break.

Yep, you don't need to convince me. Still game day so I've still got my Red and Blue goggles on. Hang him!!

    Umps disgusting in that term.

    I love the pressure that we are applying.

    Still room to improve from several of the boys.

    Poor Maysie.  Looking at the way his eye blew up, unfortunately it's looking like a potential fracture.  Hope I'm wrong.

    Petty can step in and do the job. Has been in super form down at Casey.

    My fingers are like icicles, so not going to try and navigate my way back through thread. 

    Can someone with benefit of replays tell me what happened to May? His contest with Hawkins was right in front of me, but it looked pretty innocuous until he didn't get up 

    Mays elbows suddenly beame possessed your honor.

    He through one up as he was turning and caught poor May in the eye.

    Lots of blood and May looked dizzy.

    Not good.

    Take the red and blue glasses off I have watched the Hawkins hit 10 times now, it was an accident 100% may contributed by pulling Hawkins towards him

    Depends on whether the tribunal is adjudicating based on intent or result this week.

    should get a tap on the shoulder based on form and how the reckless action resulted in a busted eye socket... or the commentary team will write the conversation as an accident and move on.

    more likely the latter than former sadly. I hope he’s just a little groggy and dazed for a week instead of becoming another 426

    Dermie was quick to say it was an accident just prove it was deliberate. Selwood is without doubt my most hate opposition player. Yes Brayshaw was a little late but Selwood would do Laurence Olivier pround. Then he has the gall to whinge. Pathetic

    One of the most disgraceful umpiring performances ive seen in that 5 minute period in the 2nd.  We should have been running it up the field for a shot at goal instead he calls holding the man when it should've clearly been holding the ball. 

    Two holding the balls that were 50/50 against us in our forward line against Frittata & Sparrow yet the Cats don't get called for similar and then get a reverse call instead.  Faaark off Umps!

    It was actually a free to Jetta against Menegola but Jetta then slung him. Reversed free. Then Gus bumped Selduck after he disposed.

    I’ve only seen drips and drabs but despite inaccurate in front of goal best footy we have played all year?

    It’s such a strange game as it lols like we’re playing an under 16s side at times, we’re doing so easy, but as always we can’t get it into fwd 50 enough. Finally towards the end of the qrt we did convert.

    Anyone see what Selwood said briefly to Kossie as they were coming off??

    Typical Selwood having a sook at the umps coming off.

    Lower you head some more, scumbag.

    Nibbler and Jordy fire up fellas


    A few of passengers, Jordan, Sparrow, Jones, ANB and Melksham. 

    Get involved, do some magic.

    Wish we could hold simpler marks and kick set shots.

    Playing well otherwise, good game plan. Good running and breaking lines, swarming attack and defence. 

    Keep at it Dees.

    Viney WTF have a shot mate

    • 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.
