Game over. Umpiring is a [censored] disgrace, but we missed our opportunities.

We desperately need to improve our goal kicking accuracy. We never kick more goals than points and it’s directly costing us games now.


FMD.  Salem held without ball - no free - goal to Dogs who just cannot miss

Our forward disposal is just disgraceful.  Thanks Goodwin Williams and Yze 

We will win this.

    We look awful. Viney Langdon Harmes Salem Spargo ANB giving us absolutely nothing. 
    Once again relying on too few to do too much.

    great we give away another goal in the last minute - great defensive football

    they have 10 scoring shots to our 9 and lead by 19 - brilliant. Gotta love our forward coach.

    tough conditions, but we are nowhere

    Not a chance in hell we get close to winning the flag 

    we don't have enough outside class

    Been saying it for years 

    Not to mention our forward line is trash

    Time to start injuring them to compensate for the unfair umpiring.

    Move onto next week. We cannot win this.

    Typical shizen goal kicking and the umps have 100k on the doggies

    Yep. All over. Disgraceful umpiring, rubbish football. Not within a paddock of finals-worthy intent.

    How exactly?


    Don't believe the stats our mids are getting smashed, our forwards are woeful.

    There is no question which team has dealt with the conditions better and the best team overall.

    The scoreboard absolutely reflects that.

    Umpiring not good but not the difference.

    We will see what our players are made of after half time.

    When TMac is quiet we struggle big time. But the umpiring and missing 3 sitters we coud be still in the game.

    our goal kicking is our downfall unfortunately we lack skillful kicks like Breust for Hawks

    First off our kicking for goal is what’s made us be 21 points down. BUT FAIR BLOODY DINKUM THE UMPIRES MIGHT AS WELL BE WEARING BULLDOGS UNIFORMS. THEY ARE THROWING, THEY ARE BEING TACKLED BUT DON’T DISPOSE OF IT, THEY ARE BEING GIVEN AN ARMCHAIR RIDE THIS ENTIRE MATCH. Chalk at least two goals against the umps. 

    On our side, we have to take our chances. 0.2 from Brown isn’t only disappointing, it’s deflating. Not just that he misses but that they are supremely gettable kicks, you would expect ANY AFL player to kick it let alone a FF who’s job it is to do exactly that. We actually had quite a bit of territory and decent opportunities but yet again butchered them. We have regressed back to what we did most of last year. 

    Worst part is, I’m still in hotel quarantine after watching us have they great run earlier this year and I’m genuinely wondering whether it’s impossible for Melbourne to be a decent team while I’m in the country.

    Seriously if BBB doesn’t kick a match winning bag in the second half he needs to be dropped.  Paid the big bucks and hasn’t looked remotely like kicking either of those set shots.  
    Those misses are just totally and momentum killing

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      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.
