It seemed like the boys were a bit thrown by the crisp, accurate lettering on the banner (particularly the exclamation mark) and it took them until the last quarter to shake off their admiration and fully concentrate on football.

    I turned the commentary off at quarter time. Gives a much more balanced perspective, bizarrely so much of the AFL media are trying to construct negative views of us rather than acknowledge how remarkable what we are doing is.

    They'll get over it. Nothing begets admiration as much as a winner, and if we keep winning they will turn.

    Are you laying the blame for the poor 2nd and 3rd quarters at the feet of WCW MR?

    To the D'landers at the game. Was the ground slippery? It seemed like the ball took many a strange bounce time and time again. Usually to our disadvantage as our boys were in the right spot for a regulation bounce.

    I felt terrible for Kade Chandler. You’re frequently right on the very edge of the team. You come on with 15 to go and the result well beyond doubt, you have to make every chance to state your case count. He was trying to aggressively defend and he almost got it right, but ended up injuring the player. It was an accident and he seemed shaken.

    You don’t need to be at the ground to know the ground was slippery, you’d be able to see that from Mars given all the players slipping over.

    The best news is we are 5 games clear of 9th with 13 games to play.

    Dare I say it, looks like we’ll play finals this year guys. Fantastic.

    Of all the 'firsts' we've ticked off on our 16 game winning run we can now add underwhelming 74 point win away against WC to the list.

    This is a perfect example of how a trend of not getting out of 2nd gear has now become a habit where we now can't kick goals. 

    It's concerning. The skill level forward of centre was hopeless.

    Hopeless? Really? Was it hopeless 7 days ago? A better choice of word may have been “unusual”

    We now boast the best defence this year (per crude stats anyway), by just one point over Freo.

    Not for the first WC seem to think it's to their advantage to water the ground.As well, the worst and most dangerous exhibition of maggotisms for the the year Lots of high stuff let go as well every experienced WC (suitable) player thought it was his job to knuckle another player..

    Underwood's pre-game preparation . . . make sure I:

    1. mention the 2021 grand final (200 times),
    2. remember that Jackson is from WA,
    3. note that Brayshaw's brother is at Freeo,
    4. remind everyone that Jackson once played basketball,
    5. always refer to Ben Brown as Big Ben Brown,
    6. say that Jackson used to love Nic Nat,
    7. declare that May and Lever are good footballers,
    8. mention that Jackson used to support Meth Coke (10 times),
    9. observe that Kosi is a good footballer,
    10. suggest that Jackson will be keen to drive his price up today (five times).

    • 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.
