Hopefully they don't think it will all just happen - it is going to take an big lift in defensive pressure to be any chance

    For starters wear the real and only  MFC jumper. The one in the above pic looks awful.

    Has Carlton ditched that all white outfit from last year. Havent seen it this season. They looked like they were running around in their undies.

    The short bit of footage the club released from training showed some reasonably high pressure match simulation. Part of me thinks this is the week we see a real step up…hope I am correct

    I think we are all sitting here hoping we see that switch flicked this week.

    If we do it will give me a lot more confidence heading into the end of the regular season and into finals.

    If we don't it's hard to see us getting our best back this season.

    Winning out is unlikely but hopefully we see more of what we know and love.

    I just don't want to see any 4 or 5 goal leads fluffed anymore.

    I reckon we're going to love the last month of footy. It's a real chance to play some really strong and desperate teams with finals and top 4 on the line. 

    It's going to be a perfect lead in to the finals and if we want to be a great team like the players talk about, it's time to lift the intensity and run out 4 quarters.

    I expect us to win at least 3 of our last 4 and hit finals with a bang.

    I love that most of the press are writing us off.

    You’d imagine all clubs do high-pressure match sims, right?

    I don’t imagine that they always do it on a 6 day break. To me it says that maybe we are stepping into a game honing phase and are no longer in a loading phase.

    I could be totally wrong though and don’t claim to be an expert on the matter

    I'd have been more confident with another couple of easy kills like Gold Coast and Adelaide to warm us up.

    I haven’t heard one good answer on the contested marking drop off. I’d love to hear an explanation for this.

    Could it be that all of May, Lever, Gawn and Jackson have been injured/ill at some point in that period? So we're either missing or below their best?

    I believe this is the thread appropos thread for that type of thing.

    Perhaps it could end up as a containment thread ala the NO T$ NO BS thread.

    • 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.

      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.
