De Koning looks a decent defender

He’s a gun.

Would be my pick out of all the rising stars so far this year.

    Literally kicks himself forward off the Geelong player's front. Absolutely pathetic. Should be reported.

    No Tom Stewart… Wow

    He's really earning himself a bad wrap.  Someone at the club needs to take him aside and have a little chat

    It's pretty much a Doggy thing.  They prefer to step back from the mark and not 'Stand' the mark but instead go back and protect an area.  If they dont stand the mark then that area has to be outside 5 meters from the mark.

    A great idea for defenders in an OOTF situation as they can protect against the inside kick, a play on inside for a long raking kick over the back and/ or the switch a little better instead of standing the mark on the line and watching as the player runs off into field to do one of the above.

    Baz Smith will get 3 weeks for that. Stupid.

    Im thoroughly confused by the down field rule. The umpires are literally encouraging players to break the rules to slow play down. Talk about not understanding the game.

    Yes but half the time it’s not clear whether the ump is saying get outside 5 or you are outside 5   Please explain

    I think the push in the back of a player shoving them into a pack is one of the most potentially dangerous actions in our game.

    Seems to go unnoticed by the tribunal.

    Hope Geelong choke

    Why the [censored] does BT have to comment on what’s clearly going to the tribunal? Insinuating that Toohey was acting. He’s such a blow hard. The game is better off without these boring dinosaurs who editorialise the game instead of simply commentating.

    • 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.
