    Based on the market above, you would think that playing Coburg at home is going to be a shoe in with 16 AFL listed players available.

    Toby Bedford is on track to achieve some sort of record this season. He’s been the sub for all 5 Melbourne games (activated once only in Round 1). This has enabled him to double up for each of Casey’s games this season so by the end of the day today he will have 9 games on the board. Five for Melbourne and 4 for Casey.

    As per the opening post, “ALL MATCHES ARE STREAMED ON AFL.COM AND THE AFL LIVE APP”

    And the latest update to the AFL app means it can be casted to your TV if you have a Chromecast.

    So does that mean if he has a number of as medical sub games he goes above the cut off for playing Casey finals??  No wait it’s based on games played for Casey isn’t it?

    Presumably the first ever Demons player to have featured in (at least) 8 wins by round 5.

    What’s wrong with Howes?

    I asked that too.

    I guess we will have to wait until we get an injury update from the club.

    Either way, let's hope it is nothing serious and Blake Howes will be back next week.

    I presume he goes above the cutoff for Rising Star nomination as well.

    A very interesting point you have raised.

    It feels like you are watching football in a phone booth. It doesn't help if all the play is on the other side.

    You expect that on a windy day at Casey Fields.

    Serious question KC.

    What, if anything could they do at Casey Fields to minimize the impact of the wind (other than build stands)?

    Both ends are open and the one time i was there (the roos practice match) i was thinking that perhaps some sort of wind breakers at the city end might help.  

    The wind ruins so many games down there.

    You would have to ask an expert that question. I suppose a couple of stands and a lot of tall trees would help.

    Coburg have scored their first goal and are looking dangerous again.

    • 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.
