    Zero imagination again from Goodwin. Expect same same result. 

    Which AFL team did you coach to a premiership again?

    Might stick an episode of aircrash investigators on instead of the game, something a bit more relaxing

    Petty is a blow. Hope the final bench is jordon, rivers, weideman and dunstan with hunt as sub.

    Second time for Petty and the Vid?

    Hunt deserves back in, hopefully he makes the cut tomorrow night.

    I think Jordon needs a rest he was poor last week.

    Very Surprised that Melksham and Chandler were included! Also surprised Bedford and Spargo hold their places hopefully HUNT gets a gig??

    Weideman this surely would be "Last Chance Hotel" would much have preferred Mitch Brown! A few on shaky ground!

    Mitch Brown is not a KPD, he isn't physical enough and goes missing. Feel sorry for Laurie.

    Time for big games from Sparrow and Jordon

    Sparrow maybe but Jordon has been one of our most consistent, racking up 20+ possessions on the wing which is elite.

    Port stronger and us much weaker with the changes.

    Will need a big effort.

    Covid going to cause a lot of havoc over the next couple of months. Hope our players are smart about socialising from here on out. Might cost us top 4 or themselves a spot in the team around finals time.

    what did you expect him to do exactly? Clarry injured, Petty out with covid and Bowey has been struggling for a while so needed the break. Personally i would have brought in JVR but perhaps a game in NT against a resurgent Port is not the best time to give him his debut.

    • 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.
