    I’ve not seen us looked that gassed before. We had nothing left to give.

    Just a lesson in football. Brisbane, like Sydney last week, were just far superior to us. Luckily we got a good start but that wasn’t enough. We have the cattle but without good coaching it’s pointless.

    Cannot begin to express what a letdown the last two weeks were. We just didn’t concede a huge run of goals last year.

    Doing the same thing every single week for 2 1/2 years will eventually fail.

    This has been a pretty pathetic second half of the year, regardless of whatever niggles come out during the week

    This looked like several other games before, start well and get a lead and then fail to score for a long period. It was classic Melbourne of 2022.

    A very weak response when in the defensive and couldn’t get goals to stem the flow. Such a poor performance for when it mattered most.

    So many out of form players, need a few fresh legs in.

    Probably the most predictable outcome ever. Had all the hallmarks of a vintage Melbourne loss at quarter time.

    Surprisingly not that disappointed. Would rather go out tonight than watch us lose against a well-rested Geelong next week.

    Poor selection, poor coaching, poor application. Totally unacceptable to be regularly run over in the second half. Sparrow, Rivers, Spargo, Jackson, Hunt not up to it. Pickett’s I’ll discipline is a real problem. So much for all the talk about wanting to perform for the fans at the G - yadda, yadda, yadda.

    Failure of a season.

    Every single loss was the same where we get out to a lead of around 20 to 30 points and then get complacent and stop trying to win.

    No imagination with team selection or style.

    Half the team in on reputation while Casey had an all-time great saeason.

    So embarrassed, what a disgrace, Goodwin can learn a lot from resting players earlier IMO.

    Umpires in last quarter 

    50 against Pickett up other end goal

    soft holding to McStay - goal

    Bailey pushed Hunt square in middle of back - goal

    Andrews chops Brown arm 15 metres out - no free

    just to close out game umpire free against Lever not being tackled and 5Om to gift it

    Umpires pathetic influenced result

    Lots to it. We were cooked, selection maybe exacerbated it, game plan etc etc.

    Honestly think we'll be a lot better next year with improved fitness and luck with injuries.

    On to the trade and draft board we go...

    It really is inexplicable it has to be linked to fitness preparation. But the complete lack of football common sense and flexibility is astounding. Seriously we are back to the bad old days. Massive chance we slide down the ladder.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
