Better for us to play against a top team no pressure.

    no crowd almost guaranteed.

    perhaps 25k as a long shot.

    No dollars again.

    MFC should be screaming and in return getting something

    Either way our opposition analyst can get straight to work, only has to view one tape from yesterday’s Suns Dogs game.

    A top two clash with no crowds possibly again, bugger.

    Actually rather play them now than in a few weeks. 

    Why?

    Footscray will be on the register after our game if it’s put forward. We’re going to be victimised. Cannot see us being anything but touched up by the Dogs. 

    2 losses in a row and then if things continue to get worse in Melbourne we’ll have Geelong the following week at Kardinia.

    I'm more confident of beating the Doggies than the Suns

    I say bring this senario on. If we're good enough we'll beat both the doggies and the cats.

    If not then at least we'll know early and won't to suffer any MFCSS through the finals.

    May as well. But knowing Melbourne we’re more likely to beat Dogs and Cats but get pumped by Adelaide and Gold Coast ?

    Did anyone else notice that Brayshaw let this slip in the post match interview? Seems like its almost a done deal…

    Would explain the performance last night, saving themselves for the Dogs.

    Does not matter who we play. After yesterday they look gone.

    The doom-mongering on this site is becoming unnecessary. I don't think anyone thought they were 'gone' after they outplayed PA at their home ground just a week ago.

    To be fair, we will comfortably account for the dogs if the current pattern continues.

    We are so bloody schizophrenic.

    Switching round 19 and 20 games still has a few border closure and exemption issues. 

    Just let us play GCS next week in Qld!!  If Brisb can come and go to Melb to play the Hawks next week then we can come and go to Qld to play GCS. 

    Have a horrible feeling the AFL is hell bent on us playing in Darwin.

    Don’t disagree entirely with this: I think we have done our dash this year. Problem is that we have no plan going forward other than hit and hope - I think this will be our undoing over the next few days. I believe it’s the only thing that’s holding us back at the moment.

    Make you wonder if they already knew this and had their minds on next week.   Like the Crows game. Heard Brayshaw say dogs next week and wondered why.

    Why?

    Gives us time to study their game plan well before the final series and to adjust in the lead up games.

    We can still peak if a few more home and away games left.

    Playing them close to the finals, then we play them when we should be at our best. Play them now and we still have room for improvement, with some fine tuning prior to the real stuff (finals).

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
