Incommunicado for first 3 quarters due to work/travel commitments. (The scenery was superb though). Only able to switch on for the final stanza, been a top day. Go you mighty Demons!!!

I have the single malt near by and I good nights viewing ahead


Game opened up when the Hawks stopped and we crushed them.

Take that last quarter momentum onto the Tigers.

Lever and Hibberd all game, with Rivers doing well.

Still need more pressure on the small forwards. 

The wings are working, as is our run off half-back. 

At stoppages we need more movement, they appeared static.

Really need the pressure game that disappeared today, so as to create more turnovers.

A few passengers (Jordon, Sparg's) and some who popped up at different times (Petty, Melksham).

Gawn can do everything, loved his ground balls gets and clearances, marks elite.

Not much flow for us in the first 3/4.

Some of our dinky handballs were cut off easily.

Our set shots for goal need work. We have to be able to make the most of our opportunities, especially against the best teams.

Tmac has been playing well, Oliver good again, Langdon our goal kicker off the wing.,Trac in the last quarter. 

We will own the G.

Great start to our season, now the big test. Tigers who may be a bit complacent thinking that they can get a role 9n so as to easily set up their season.

C'mon Dees get set for an outstanding, angry run at them.

i wasnt at the game, was there more red and blue than poo and wee? sounded like it on the replays

Other than behind goals Ponsford end probably not although the MCC might have had slightly more

 

A couple of quotes from Hawks bigfooty for everyone's enjoyment

Might need to dust off the 3-peat dvds. I need to feel good again.

The 3 Quarter Hawks.

We missed on the next Cyril in Kosi Pickett.. fantastic player.

 

I'd rather go to jail than play in our forward line.
 
Melbourne, umpires and AFL can GAGF. I am drunk.
 
We conceded 9 goals in 10 mins. How the [censored] is that even possible?? We were 4 points down 10 mins in. I'm speechless.

Frost definitely played for us again that game

I was there and felt he must have forgotten he had switched clubs. He was very important for us in that last quarter. 


Always think the new in’s need a qrt to pick up the pace of the game & their place in the game. Thought all 3 ins and the team started to get a bit more cohesion in the 3rd qrt & broke them down in the fourth. Was Petty off inj in the last ?

My car proudly displays winning record. Don’t mind if I’m in 22 Litre V8 come September

Melksham haters aren’t going to like this ?

And a negative result for Jones. He might have to wait a week for his 300th. 

I heard(NPI) we asked the AFL that our new recruiting area be EFC.

 

We weren’t great, but the effort was always there, and allowed us to stay square before eventually bursting away.

You can’t play well every week, and we clearly have another level to go, both form those playing, as well as those yet to come back into the side.


Pickett is going to be a very, very, very, very, very, very, very good player.

2 goals, 18 touches (at 78%), 6 marks, and 10, count em, TEN score involvements.

Wasn’t that a typical Frost game? I mean that in a light-hearted banter way, not a bagging way. It had everything, his desperate best and... the rest. I actually felt a bit bad when he kicked the clanger straight to TMac, but I also 100% expected it. Completely to script.

Contrast that with Lever’s game. Just wow. Hard to fathom how far we’ve come in defence.

Some of the comment about Melksham on this site are ridiculous. He a class player. Also dropping Jones one game out from 300 would be a disgrace. Heart and soul of club. 

What I like the most is that we are winning at the G. bring on the premiers, no better way to test the boys and the supporters. see y'all next week!!

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. 

Freo was our worst performance by a stretch. This one had the mark of maturity. A shocking first quarter. Steadied in the second. Got a sniff in the third. And crushed them in the last.

All without two key players from the first four rounds. It was genuinely impressive.

It also sets up next week beautifully.


That went how I feared it would, until it didn’t. 
 

Gawn and Lever were outstanding all day. I think we’d have been in a bit of trouble if Lever didn’t repel everything. 
 

Langdon is incredible. Not sure I even knew what a decent wingman was until he came. 
 

Jones is a problem. I love him, I hate our recent history of [censored] over captains, but he’s a class below what we’re trying to do, he’s off the pace, and I don’t think he deserves a spot. But he does deserve 300. Glad I’m not making that decision. 
 

How we’ve gone from no forward line to an embarrassment of riches is brilliant!

 

Kozzie ?

Can we talk about how good Langdon is? 
 

Yes, yes we can.

Jake Lever is the only reason we were still in the game at three quarter time. Our defensive structures were completely broken in the first half and petty looked like a serious liability. Jake was marking or spoiling everything.

 Things got sorted in the second half and Petty seemed to settle and did some really good things. Our biggest problem seemed to be centre clearances.

 When Max kicked that goal from fifty the stadium lit up! We never looked back from there. The hawks just couldn’t stay with us once we shifted gears. Great game but we really should have buried them in the third, we need to start kicking goals and not points

 

Even though Jackson isn’t tearing games apart he is holding his own in the ruck and getting plenty of ball. He is allowing Max to drift forward and back and is a big factor in Max having a stellar season.

  • 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.
