Vineys been our most consistent player across that first half. I've liked Bowey's work as well

Not liking our forward 50 entries.

    Serious question . . . how is TMac a better option than Weed ATM? I know they are both flawed, but surely Weed is less so. 

    That wasn't  a great 2nd quarter. Great teams put there foot down and just keep burying there opponent. 

    Trac in some games has gone the miracle goal instead of looking for a better option and Jordan Lewis also picked that up. I also thought he'd nail that set shot. 

    But hope we play one of our great 3rd quarters that we have done in previous weeks. 


    Petraccas goal kicking for 2022 - 8 goals, 14 points (not counting complete misses).

    2021 - 29 goals, 19 behinds.

    Tracs a superstar, but needs to tidy up his set shot routine if he’s to hit the highs of last year and hold the mantle of best player in the game.

    Fairly standard Demon stuff. They have a quarter off and it’s usually the second but will come out breathing fire in the third

    This has to be the worst surface in the AFL, worse than Marvel.

    Which is crazy considering it has 1 game a week and full sun

    When he leans back on the ball strike, he always hooks it. Needs to keep his body weight going forward behind the leg, a la Ben Brown. It’s very predictable, sadly.

    Pathetic 2nd quarter. Absolutely pathetic. This is a great opportunity to have our percentage sorted for the year but no, 1 goal for the quarter. Not good enough. This is what happens when you play in 2nd and 3rd gear all season, you don't know how to play 4 quarters and play offensive football. Not impressed. 

    P.S get petracca out of the forward line. If he isn't the worst set shot for goal in the AFL then I don't know who is.

    Commentators apparently not interested in the obvious feature of this game, being that West Coast haven’t hit double figures. They really are woeful, and sorry Jordie, you are hardly any better. Umpires apparently also not interested when Eagles get tackled and dispossessed. Margin’s going to blow out big time this quarter though I feel.

    Kept them to 1 goal and that was in the first minutes. I'd be happy to see that continue this quarter.

    We got the results our list at the times deserved. Our team today vs a WCE team that is probably equivalent to a VFL seconds teams shouldn't restrict us to 1 goal in a quarter. should be 6-8 goals every quarter.

    So you thought the 2nd quarter wasn't pathetic?

    Wow wee . . . just woooow weeeeeeeeee............................

    Who would have thought that after the disaster of 2018 we would be back in the West in 2022 and be dissatisfied with a 7 goal lead at half time and keeping Meth Coke to 1 goal.

    This game reminds me of the time Muhammad Ali beat a very inferior opponent (can’t remember who) on points. When asked why he didn’t knock him out, his response was “I don’t want to risk my life every fight”, or something very similar.

    Players are not risking lives (or injury) here.

    We're not playing WCE. We're playing a VFL reserves team.

    • 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.

    • 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.
