The Weid has had as many disposals as our medi sub, can somebody who’s there fill us in on what’s going on? Is he in good positions and the balls just not going to him or is he just lost?

     Max shooting for goal seriously. Flip the ball, run to the right and try and hook it back. Seriously?

    Its a bloody awful kicking action.  There's no method its just as you described it.  Effectively a kick in hope.  The problem seems to lie in that hook and that if he doesnt run out to the right he cant kick right through the ball so will lean back.  Which will result in a worse hook lol

    Could easily think the umpiring we cop every week is a directive. So consistently terrible. Can't have us spoiling the Geelong/Collingwood/Carlton GF 7 and the AFL want.

    Salem slowly coming back into his 2021 form. His first quarter was exceptional.

    Good signs from Salo & Riv…. Need them back in form. 

    Slightly better from Salo tonight.  Kicking still lacks penetration though amd mostly up and unders no more than about 35/40 meters

    Do you mean the commentary?

    I am struggling with the rules. Hibberd went for the ball but because someone is running in it’s a free to them? I mean it’s not as if Hibberd is running straight at the opposing player and goes low front on. That’s where the rule started, to now where you can’t jump on the loose ball in the back line.

    In a game of margins  you'd hope that Kozzie not giving off and Gawn missing from 35 won't  cost us.

    Fritta great.

    He just does not have the competitive drive and appetite for the contest to succeed at AFL level. These are his prime years. This is as good as he gets after 7 years in the system. It is what it is.

    You can already sense how this game is going to go.

    After the siren kick for a goal for Freo from a free kick.

    • 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.
