Take a bow Simon Goodwin. Pandering to Luke  Jackson by playing him as first ruck. He is not a first ruck and Max is not  a forward. Cost us 3 easy goals tonight and the game.

    Cheating [censored] [censored] in yellow absolutely garbage.

    Multiple gifts from free kicks in Collingwood I50 from ridiculous calls.

    All over the ground just inconsistent decisions.

    [censored] that [censored].

    They definitely got all the 50/50 calls in the last but it's the FORWARD LINE folks.

    Is Joel Smith the saviour?

    Furious, absolutely furious with that loss. We have too much class to be kicking and handballing like that. 

    Atrocious games from Kozzie, ANB, Spargo, Hibberd, and Jackson. Kozzie in particular fumbled, ran over the ball, flew when he should have stayed down and played an all round shocker. 

    The old Dees habit of handballing under pressure to a team mate who is under more pressure. That one from Hibberd to Viney in the Pies forward line - unforgiveable. It happened all night.

    We canNOT keep kicking our forward 50 entries into the pocket. EVERY time, even when we have short options. 

    My rage hasn't settled yet. Really grumpy right now.

    One trick pony got the job done.

    We knew exactly what they’d try to do and we let them do it. We’re a defensive team who can’t win a shootout, yet we let the game unfold that way anyway.

    This was a supremely disappointing effort from the coaching group. They’ve got work to do now as top two is likely gone. 

    [censored] what a let down.

    Petracca picks and chooses when he wants to show up, 2nd worse game I've seen him play behind the Freo loss. Gawn terrible, ANB an absolute momentum killer, Koz anonymous, the entire back seven were terrible tonight. Definitely not going back to back this year.

    Three goals in a half of footy isn't going to win you much.

    If we could fix our forward half game we’d be unstoppable!

    Just so much wasted effort for such a poor return.

    Don't blame the umpires.  We didn't take our chances and they did and we were outplayed.  

    Losing to this mob is always the bitterest pill to swallow.  Goodnight all.

    Shame on coaches.  They can’t and have not learnt after weeks of seeing pies how to close them down.  Our mob can’t kick straight to save themselves.

    A fit Joel Smith would have been very handy over Hibberd tonight. And I suspect he's (Smith) moving on at year's end. That's a gap to fill.

    That was the most painful loss I can remember in a long time.

    If Max kicks straight we win and he's probably BOG

    Should have been six in front at half time

    Hard for Demons to get a free second half

    Pies probably got 6 or 7 goals from frees

    the last to Johnson unbelievably soft

    Kozzy, why did you have to kill the momentum?

    What happened to our mid field in the 2nd half?

    We are missing Tom Mac. Equally, it's the way that the ball is coming in.

    Watching Ben Brown, it was nice to reminisce and think of Iron Hands Dawes.

    We have so many problems going forward at the moment. We really should give JVR a go. We're not going to win a flag at the moment unless we change our forward structure and our crappy F50 kick into the pocket entries.

    It was the Dogs game all over again.

    I chucked money on the pies at half time at $5.40. it feels very ordinary collecting.

    Would love to know where our contest and defence were tonight, coz they weren’t at the G.

    Meanwhile Goody is on the bench wondering why our broken system isn’t working. Do something about it.

    • 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.
