its amazing what winning games of footy does. Lose today and Gawn foot turns out to be  more of a 6-8 week injury. 

I heard he was dead halfway through the first…

    Bowey is really struggling at the moment. Rivers might be a better option.

    I didn’t see that tonight

    Bowey is struggling? He was perfectly fine tonight. Played his role.

    Not struggling, but he’s fumbling some tough ground balls and losing some winnable aerial contests. I think his speed and smarts still give him the edge, but down back there’s at least genuine pressure for spots.

    Bowey was fine tonite.

    No Max. You can play against Geelong down at Mordor. They can take care of Adelaide.

    No change.

    Agree, no change for next week.  As an aside I heard Neal Bullen say on ABC radio after the game that Viney’s speech to the players prior to the game and at half time was inspirational.

    Just like Gawney in last year’s GF told the coaches to keep Jacko on the ground in the centre bounces in the 3rd quarter  I wouldn’t put it past him to let Viney speak to the playing group come this GF when we are playing whoever if he thinks it will help the crew.

    If Gawn plays I will be disappointed. I love the guy but get him right. Don't take a risk with him.

    I wouldn't mind seeing Disco coming back he was good until he got knocked out but Rivers is the obvious choice if we drop bowzer.

    If Viney has the slightest niggle rest him until the finals.

    Bedford deserves a run of games. 2 very well taken goals, applied pressure and linked well with kossie a few times. 

    no changes for me

    He's a clean as Oliver at ground balls as a rule. He didn't nail them last night, but we were rarely caught out defensively after the first quarter, so he executed his role.

    yep, forward line had a nice balance last night, was good to see the small forwards dancing around the slow Brisbane backline.

    Um I dont think Bowey is in the side to win aerial contests. Often he stays out of them.

    I think his form of late has been ordinary, perhaps Rivers in.....

    Hopefully no change, but slightly worried about how Viney's corky might pull up during the week.

    I guess Dunstan in for him if it's needed.

    He will be fine.  We have another 9 day break to the next game.

    Wild horses and wild bulls couldn't keep him from playing.

    I would say no change, not sure what the weather will be like. Rivers I would like in but happy to let it ride.

    Even if Max wants to play I would give him another week off. No change

    Yeah, bring him back for the following one vs Geelong.  Because of the bye/fixturing it will be about 3.5 weeks since the injury.

    He said a highlight of 2021 was beating Geelong three times!!  Like their feline mascot, they would be hissing and spitting at that comment. 

    He won't want to miss a trip to the kittens' playground.  Inflict more hurt.

    • 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.
