hate to say but while the dees are a good side  they’re just not a premiership threat.

    I think I agree, he's been flat for a few weeks but saved by a few great moments of class. He needs to regain some form.

    Lifted the intensity, but not enough end product. Can still do it but unless that clearance count changes it's curtains.

    Can’t buy a clean clearance. Getting what we deserve.

    At the ground and that’s the most obvious thing. Oh, and no key forward.

    We continue to lose stoppage after stoppage. Midfield coach has been absolutely slaughtered this week, and Oliver, Viney and Petracca have all been well done.

    If I was a defender I’d be having some ‘open’ conversations with the midfield this week. I really feel for them.

    Watch Trac at the centre bounce -  he’s no good below his knees and loses out so many times when it hits the ground -  I’d rather Kossie in there

    Statistically the worst goal kicking accuracy club in the comp. Fritsch disgraceful, Petracca the same. I'd prefer you have 15 touches and 2 goals then 30 and 0.2 I'm so [censored] over this [censored] goal kicking. We almost have to put Salem forward as he is just about the only guy I trust to kick straight. Bloody hopeless. 
     

    Grunt v class, Kelly all class, we dont have any silk in our midfield

    I agree. We've made big improvements this year but I don't see consistent professionalism and dominance needed to win a flag.

    Why don’t we throw Gus in the middle? Can’t be worse.

    Our midfield is getting smashed today, hoping for a repeat of Round 1 2016.

    We wont win this and our excellent start has just gone down the toilet. So too has us doing any good in Sept. Premiership aspirants DONT Lose games to Adelaide,Collingwood and now Gws! Players drinking their iwn bathwater and Goodwin failing to select BB was disaster waiting to happen

    At least the team is not as boring and predicable as some of the supporters....

    • 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.
