Lift your f'n game 

Fritsch with two goals and pressuring well with limited opportunities is doing fine. 
Petty has been ok. 
agree with the rest

    Weid is a bust.

    Honestly would delist the bloke. Provides next to nothing.

    Given the delivery though I doubt if BBB would do any better, and doesn’t chase or tackle.

    Midfield needs to be fixed. Can still win it from here if we adapt to the tactics they’re using.

    Need to win those clearances in the second half or we are toast. 
     

    Lions playing out of their skin and as such, getting the rub of the green (Hipwood 3-4 times, you can’t play on ahead of the ****ing mark while out of bounds!!!! Jesus!)

    Wrist slashing time from all the posters above.

    god help us. What will you all say if we get up ?

    "I always had faith" ?

    Midfield being given an absolute bath.

    Entry forward is very poor. It’s on the midfield to get us going. Hard to continually start our attacks from the back line.

    No point blaming the umpires. We’re not up to it tonight. We look tired and like we just want to get on a plane home.

    Our midfield is getting smacked and needs to lift. We can’t get our hands on it!

    Salem has struggled since returning from his week off.

    20 points is doable, but need to lift this quarter.

    Can’t blame the umpires for this. 
     

    We’re just not playing with the same intensity as them. And boy does having no Langdon make a difference.

    Not a sycophant perhaps but call a spade a spade fan boy

    I’d take Viney with one foot right now to put some Lions on their backside.

    Only two ways this'll go:

    - Lions start converting, we get smoked because it's flattering that we're only 20 points down.

    - We work out we are being smoked and the boys lift and stop letting the Lions play this on their terms. Mids need to run harder, defence gotta communicate better. We need to lock that ball in our f50 and stop them waltzing the ball in their f50.

    Got to stop being bullied. We look soft.

    If you're having a crack at the forward line you don't get it.

    We're scoring from 50% of our inside 50s, which is a better conversion rate than the Lions.

    This is on the midfield.

    We're -11 in CPs, -8 in clearances, -3 in tackles (despite being -43 in disposals), and -14 inside 50s.

    No side in the comp will compete with Brisbane if the ball is spending the majority of time in Brisbane's forward half. 

    And to make matters worse, when we do get the ball inside 50, it’s bouncing straight back out. We are defending poorly all over the ground. 
    Brisbane, as I said, are a much better side than the Dogs. Strong across every line. Our forwardline is average at best and our midfield while good on paper, can get blown apart in clearances. We need to fix these issues before finals, or it won’t be a long campaign.

    Still haven’t answered the question

     


    40 more possessions.

    14 more inside 50s.

    8 more clearances.

    6 more centre clearances 

    11 more contested possessions

    30 more uncontested possesions

    18 more marks

    and on and on. 

    We're not winning this. Brisbane is leagues ahead of the rest of the league atm.

    Yep but they don't look anywhere near it at the moment. Petracca has tried but some poor disposal going inside 50. Clarry is the one, needs to win some clearance and and get them going.

    Absolutely agree, it's clear as day were getting beaten around the ball and then on the spread. Even up this battle and it's game on for the second half.

    • 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.
