Chol is playing very well for the suns. He's been a good pick up for them

Clearly enjoying not having to play 3rd/4th tall. Casboult has been very handy as well - limited player but doesn't lack effort

    Wonder if he'd like playing 1st CHF in a top team?

    Would need to get Melbourne-fit first though.

    Its only one goal to replace them.

    Looks like 2022 Saints is what everyone was expecting in 2021. Paddy Ryder is just such a game changer for the Saints. More than a little happy to see the Blues go down as well.

    In a few minutes, we will be the only undefeated team after the first four rounds………. and  we are yet to get out of second gear!  It’s a long season, but gee, we a are a class above right now!

    Makes our modest win over GC in oppressive conditions look better now. GC are a very good side at least early in the season and at home.

    Did not see those last 2 games results coming. I gave the saints a chance but to win by that much is great. 

    At least we can look down on other teams now

    So ... Demons win. Check.

    Geelong win. Damn.

    Pies lose. Check.

    Dons win, just. But in a way that has their fans spitting chips. Pass mark.

    Hawks lose. Check.

    Blues lose. Check.

    I rate this weekend 8/10

    I can't get this comment from Goodwin out of my head after the win at GC.

    Are we seriously just riding games out to preserve our bodies?

    I'd say so. Our more chaotic / high pressure style is unsustainable week in week out for 4 qtrs. Looks like if we get a comfortable lead we're content to park the bus.

    It was the same as the game against Melbourne. Once the sun goes down at this time of the year the ball is like a cake of soap. That combined with the natural fatigue late in the game.

    Percentage can be built by keeping the opposition scores low. If believable what he said we must be the only side that are pacing themselves on game days. We did have 2 short breaks and perhaps a wise decision to not run ourselves into the ground like some other clubs have already done. Defence uses less energy than offence.

    Ryder bump very similar to the one May got pinged for in his preseason game for us - should cop a week

    shouldn't, and shouldn't have. He  stopped and the "victim" cannoned into him.

    • 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.

      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.
