Drawing a blank, being a Monday game do they announce the extended squads tonight or tomorrow?

They'll name extended squards tonight with full team to be announced Saturday afternoon

    Thinking Turner will be named on the extended bench.

    Any chance we can do a Geelong this week and beat a mid range team with multiple best 22 players out in addition to losing a gun defender mid game, without its defensive structure falling to pieces, and produce a character building win?

    Yes they'll want to give Petty maximum time to recover

    Bloody oath. 

    We should be winning this game based on desire, talent, system and purely that we are further advanced than them

    Great sides who have won premierships over the years have always been able to win games with key players out. The last two weeks have been understandable because of who we've played. 

    But seriously, if we don't win on Monday I will be genuinely disappointed and slightly concerned about our second half to the year. 

    We also owe these flogs who caused a huge upset against us last year. And they were missing a handful of their top 10 players and still beat us. 

    It sometimes comes down to big club vs small club mentality. 

    We better respond. Especially after the week in the media we've had. I expect a galvanised group who are committed to the cause for four quarters. And I expect to win.

    I think he has a future but no way he is ready for QB 

    From my observation he has been useful in 3-4 games and good in one but that was North who are very poor. I seriously doubt he will be promoted any time soon.

    Its mind games. he will play. 

    Not really any point, they will name him anyway and if he plays we'll have prepared for him.

    I'm picturing Viney sitting in a cage, gnawing his teeth right now

    I pity the Collingwood players that come anywhere near him on QB

    UNLEASH JACK!

    Jack's impact has improved, too. If ever there was a Demon capable and willing to create havoc with the Filth, it would be Jack. I wonder who his key targets will be?

    with a 8 day break I think Petty will play but definately need Hibberd as Petty is liable to go off for long periods.  That's what happened in the 2nd quarter when we were a tall/bulky player short.

    now that it looks like Miocheck is out and Elliott is in.  Hibbo is a must.

    Elliot is too strong and too good one on one for hunt i reckon.

    Hibbo would be the match up for Elliot - can match him for strength and is excellent one on one.

    I'd go Hiiberd in, and plays on Elliot. And Hunt goes to Ginnivan.

    Mihocek is a very good player and underestimated by many.  He's no Kingsley.

    Mihocek = McDonald 

    Vastly underrated player

    Those who rate Mihocek and those who don't can all agree with this comparison. Those who rate him can assume he's like Tom and those that don't can think he's like Oscar.

    Personally, I think he's a very good player and would be even better if he had some good tall forwards around him.

    Hunt shouldn't play give the job to Rivers or Salem.

    • 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.
