Come on suns - would be great for our top 2 calcs if the dockers drop this.

 

David King is such a frustrating commentator/analyst. He takes a bob each way every single time.

How can you suggest putting David Mundy into the forward line while at the same time saying "there's heaps of time left, just hold your heads"?

The way Freo play i won;t be surprised if we keep them to less than 30 points in a few weeks

 

Fremantle have kicked two behinds in two quarters of football.

Hard to believe they came into this game 2nd on the ladder with a percentage of 153%.


There’s still time but dropping games like this can derail the season, we know that better than some. 

Much the same that Saints dropping the Cairns game to Port, this could be the start of a dip for Freo. 

 

Even last year when Melbourne dropped some games against lower sides, we were in the game right till the end. The fact that Freo haven't been competitive since halfway through the 2nd would be worrying for them.

Based on this showing, Fremantle isn't where we were last year, let alone where we are this year.

This will put Gold Coast at 4-5, with three wins against top six sides (Carlton, Sydney, Fremantle).

They have the Dogs, Hawthorn and North before the bye. 6-6, if not 7-5, is on the cards.

They then have home games against Adelaide, Collingwood and West Coast, and road trips to Essendon, Hawthorn and North. That's another six winnable games right there.

Finals set? Not yet, surely.

The thing about this Suns rebuild that they've finally gotten right is the people they've brought from other clubs. Players like Chole and Casboult aren't superstars but they're honest players who set standards and have A-grade qualities in certain areas.

Players like Gary Ablett were never what this side needed.

The Suns have been hard at it but its been very poor from Freo. Clueless going forward today

Steven Mays interview On the Couch this week was telling IMO.
Come down to us from GC thinking his skin folds were ok at the start of pre-season.
Got a shock to find out how far behind he was when he got here.
Trained hard to catch up before the start of the season and then got injured 2nd game in.

 


Well done to the Suns.  That was a great performance.  Witts is a wholehearted player who sets a great example.  Miller is an absolute jet.  He's as good as most mids going around at the moment.  Their young players are really coming on as well.  Good on them.

lol just flipped over to the Blues game and see scores are level. I thought I saw them up 20-0. When are they going to sort out their fast-start-then-stop-for-the-rest-of-the-game approach?

I was very impressed by the Suns when we played them earlier in the season and felt they would be tough to beat especially on their home track. They are definitely on the improve.

The win also means that the competition has had its quota of upset defeats and we can look forward to the game later today with a little more confidence. 😉

Are you a believer in some higher power dealing out quotas, or that word will filter through to our players to watch out?   And then take advantage of the situation.

I think Andy/Demonland views the world as being balanced on the eye of a needle perched in the bowl of a giant Premiership cup, with the all-seeing eye of Norm Smith doling out judgment on all things football (and perhaps beyond).

So, in short, it all comes back to what Norm thinks. Him being the Higher Power and all that.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
