Great quarter Melbourne. I'm so proud right now of the effort so far

 

Poor Maysy…. 😭

 

That was exactly the first quarter we needed. May's injury is certainly frustrating but I'm confident that Petty can restrict Hawkins if he stays on him for the rest of the game.

Keep it up boys. Game will be over at half time if we can. 
 

Sub May out now. Not worth the risk if he can come back in 2 weeks.

So is may hammy confirmed

My take, he is either gone for more than 2, or it ain’t too bad, just needs a bit of good stretching like when I semi did mine (felt like an electric shock, but wasn’t too bad, then stretched it out and was ok).

No way if it was touch and go would we risk him further in the game. Him running is a good sign

Qtr time update from the ground:

Top of Optus Stadium lit up in blue and red, maybe because officially the home team? Whatever the reason, loving it.

Geez love the confidence.  

Hawk/Cameron could catch fire. Try him on one leg if you need to in my view. 


As long as Geelong don't kick 9 in a row we should be able to hold on from here in the worst case. This is a game winning lead at quarter time.

Would be gutted if we make the Grand Final and May can't play in it.

 

Dawn kicked a goal after the siren . . . Dawn won the coin toss.

It didn't feel like the 1st quarter of Prelim, more like the 5th quarter of Rd 23, didn't it?

  • 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.
