Top game from TMac, how do we bring Weid and Brown in next week? We need to be mindful not to go too tall, boy we’ve got some forward options!

Despite 3 goals melk makes way.

We play 4 talls with lj rucking with max dropping down back.

    Viney is a man of steel, talk about hardnut.  Hit it the gonads. Then comes out and plays strong in the second half

    Turned it up to 11 in that last quarter!

    We have won 4 in a row against Hawthorn. How the tables have turned.

    Now how do we fit Tom Mac, Weideman, Ben Brown, Mitch Brown, Jackson and Fritsch in the forward line?   ;)

    I’d happily play B. Brown, Weideman, McDonald and Fritsch together.

    Easily, no favourites, please.

    Hmm looks like a good win in the end I have not seen a frame of the game. Been at family function sneaking a look at the scores on my phone. Looks like a good Sunday night viewing ahead.

    It depends on next week. But the last time Melbourne was 6-0 was 1965. That was the year Norm Smith was sacked after winning the Premiership in 1964, Ron Barassi had gone to Carlton, and the rest is all sad history ...

    Melksham won’t get dropped after today

    Hawthorn choked the game up a bit in the first 3 quarters but then the flood gates opened up!

    Good win in the end.

    Exactly. They were never going to sustain that. In the game thread many nervous Nellie's lamenting the way we were playing but was always going to happen.

    You don't change it. B Brown could do with another run at Casey and Fritta will not be back for a few weeks. Give the Weid a chance when someone fails until then steady as she goes.

    You are right, but from what I saw on tv he was unsighted for most of the game.  Then again I only see what they show in the frame.   Same with Brown for 3 qtrs, unsighted with no impact. 

    It good to have options and pressure internally....

    - Hunt is officially back
    - Jackson's best game for the year
    - River's best game of the year too
    - Hibberd with plenty left in the tank, correct call to bring him in over Jetta
    - Weid is a must in next week
    - Jones is cooked, and should be dropped off the back of that, will be interesting to see what happens

    Don’t think it’s fair to label Jones as “cooked”. But next week is huge and we need our best 22, and on today’s performance I’m not so sure he’s in that team.

    I wasn’t convinced at the start of the year but I’m definitely convinced now that there’s room for TMac in the side even once Weid and B.Brown are in. It’ll be smalls such as Jones to make way. 

    Interesting conundrum once Fritsch, B.Brown, TMac and Weid are all available, but Goody will want to try and make it work given the quality and characteristics of the individual players.

    Nope! Melksham gets a hard time here for his defensive efforts but if you kick 3 and assist 3 you stay. Also had a run in the midfield which was good.

    That was the worst game of the year and the best win. I finally believe that we are serious contenders. Not because we played particularly well, but because we found a way to win and when we got on top we really put the foot down. 
    The mark of a good team. Finally.

    Really don’t think our wingmen need replacing.

    • 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.
