Can someone please shed some light for me please. Fox and media in general stating that West Coast unable to field a full team due to Covid even as yesterday but I read that currently only a couple fall into that category and the rest are injuries.

Poor research and shallow thinking by commentators.

Covid is a massive smoke screen for a multitude of problems of WCE's player and club own making.

The very little bit of sympathy I had last week evaporated when a stack of their players went clubbing and at least one brought it back to the club.

Don't care if they tank; they are in a world of pain.

    Right now its up to the players if they want to turn up to play. Some bad cultural dissent appears there. It’s like week to week ask themselves should we have a crack or not?  Witness their very impressive win against Collingwood. We saw the signs of this last season where amongst a smattering of good performances they were dreadful. Interesting to see what kind  of effort they dish up against us. I would never write them off.

    There is a rot at the core of West Coast's culture which has been there for a long time. Poor discipline, poor conditioning, brittle resilience when playing on the road. They need to take a hard look at themselves. Personally i hope they stay at the bottom for a long time

    All seems to have stopped when "the chemist" stopped coaching there and plied his trade at the Bummers.

    Had to go down to the peninsular today and actually listened to SEN. In summing up callers, there are only two teams that will beat Melbourne for the grand final and that are the "brown paper baggers" and the "ferals from Punt Road". They are both convinced that we are rubbish and last year was a fluke.

    Just laughed hard for a couple of K's.

    Carlton are massive front runners. The Crows start saw the Blues being very flustered and even during the 4th when the Crows kicked a few in a row, they were all at sea with little to no structure set up behind the ball.

    Also look at who Carlton have beaten.

    • 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.

      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.
