    Horne Francis dropping the knees? rare that a player gets caught high so often

    He’s a great player but he 100% drops the knees when contact is approaching, a-la Mathieson and Selwood etc.

    Q2. 
    Fumbles Brayshaw. Heavy knock ?
    Bowey ummm rattled. 
    Love ya Kosssy
    Dees poor decisions going inside 50. 
    Poor goalkicking again. Brown. ANB. Melksham. Trac
    38 to 19 inside 50s … dominant but poor converting so 8.9  to  6.1 
    Umps favouring Dees 16-10 frees

    Clarry is a star

    People forget that this isn't the Murray league where spankings are common.  Winning at this level is never easy.  No matter what the ladder position

    Dunstan definitely having a stinker. Needs not to think. Play the percentages. 

    people need to realise that every team is throwing absolutely everything they can to beat us. everyone wants to beat the best. we're not going to see many huge wins especially this early in the season unless teams completely throw in the towel which really only GWS has. WC gave it everything they could. As has North today. any mid table team playing North is going in with North just wanting to play their style. They get trounced. Play Melbourne and it's all about making it as difficult as possible for them to win. The margin minimisation strategy makes it seem like we're playing poorly and the opposition is playing well. in reality it's just two teams both competing in a great contest.

    Can someone tell me if it was a concussion for Langdon?

    What about Ziebell getting supended? Same tackle as Chandler. Norf havent been too bad need to lift Naarm.


    1. We miss Viney for his mental toughness and driving standards

    2. Dunstan has always been a poor kick, why are people surprised?

    Regardless of scoreboard. We are getting bruised.

    Petty 🤢

    Melksham 🤮

    Dunstan 🤮🤮

    Cut Petty some slack. He really hurt his ankle in the first quarter. Could barely walk. They obviously pumped him full of drugs and told him to carry on.

    For me it's not that. We look like we're in minus 1st gear while North are having a real crack. The first goal we got where we actually had some nice team play was Kozzie's. We're junkyarding around, we need to raise our game

    Seems Melksham and Dunstan came into the game trying to do the flashy stuff to impress the coaches, they should instead play their roles like Harmsey and Viney

    Only 3 guys with 10+ touches to 1/2 time for us and they have 58, 56 & 61% disposal efficiency. Basically, the ones who are getting it are turning it over.

    Also kick straight and the game is done. 
    7 scoring shots to 17 plus 2 out on the full.

    Totally agree. Other teams set themselves to play at their best against us. This is what Nought are doing. Losing Ed and no Viney makes a new dynamic 

    Bad Kicking doesn’t help. We need to get that sorted

    Gus not concussed so he gets nothing.

    Any updated on Ed?

    Still the most handsome winger in footy. I'll let you know when I know more than that, but he's hard to track down.

    Probably ribs after that spear tackle.

    So are we looking at 4-6 weeks without our AA wing? Not good 😭

     

    Lots of fumbling, handling errors and dropped marks. Frustrating. TMac, Kozzie and Fritsch looking good.

    Some unfortunate casual, carefree stuff from Petracca. Oliver is a star.

    We have also got some terrible free kicks given to to us - that 50m is a disgrace to our game. 

    Please, please, please do NOT play Dunstan again. I would rather see a young kid have a crack and make mistakes than a mature player show us what poor VFL football looks like.

    Goldy and Xerri doing a really good job nullifying Max. 

    North having a red hot go and finally showing what system they are trying to play.

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
