    For anyone watching - are Weeds marking and goals impressive or easy goals/free kicks?

     

    Thats better from Laurie.  Chandler doing quite well.  Pretty standard.  Run under a couple he probably could have marked in contests but doing quite well so far (at this level).

    he's working the f50 perfectly, just as he always does as the main option

    he and sideshow bob essentially play the same role - it's no surprise that they struggle to gel as a key forward combination

    Interesting that our otherwise magnificent brains trust can’t work out something that will get / allow the combination to work. 
    Something like -

    1/ Ben you lead right, Sam stay home

    2/ Sam, you lead left, Ben, you stay home. 
     

    Surely that sort of thing would have to stop double teaming and keep the defenders on their toes, even if either of BB SW had no intention of the ball coming their way that time. Can’t double team both.

    Never want to see umpire Nicholls in the AFL again. Absolutely clueless.

    Bounced one metres beyond the circle and didn’t recall it.   Do the umpire selectors just go on how many recalls are done so it is better for a poor bouncer to just ignore recalls.

    Weid’s getting to it a lot, but two-grabbing almost every time, and getting spoilt. Turner, Van Rouyen and Ellison’s marking hands are better. Would be shocked if someone doesn’t pick up Ellison in the MSD.

    I believe the MSD was just this week. I don't think Ellison was selected?

    Casey forwards can't buy a mark

    There's no immediate genuine KF option.  Mitch handy as a lead up or tall (get ball to ground) back up option for this season.

    Will need to trade in a big hitting impact forward for 2023 imv.

    Any notes on AVR?  How is he handling the slippery conditions?

    he wasn't, given that it was during the week

    surely someone will give him a chance at the end of the season

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      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.
