Gawn - a huge loss

Viney - obviously played underdone 

Brayshaw - disposals were amateurish 

Petty - tried but failed

Oliver - many irrelevant possessions 

Petracca - involved too late 

Rivers - loose but tried

Bowey - not the worst

Lever - played with passion

Harmes - not to standard

Langdon - had little input 

Neal-Bullen - was rarely noticed 

McDonald -  had no influence 

Fritsch - was obviously underdone 

Spargo - was easily outpointed 

Grundy - tried but ineffective 

Hunter - had little influence 

Sparrow - a nothing game

Chandler - took his chances

McVee - regularly looked lost 

Melksham - probably on field

Brown - our only forward

I’m starting to worry Sparrow doesn’t have another level

Hard on Bowser, Rivers and Chandler.

Agreed. Rivers played well

I think this was was established last year.

I’d been trying to ignore it but can’t anymore

I thought Grundy was great not his fault the midfield was terrible.

Certainly worked his way into the game as the solo ruck and credit to him. Needs to build some synergy with Trac and Clarry if we’re to win the centre clearances going forward.

He’s going to earn his money this year if Gawn’s out for weeks, but he’d love having the number 1 mantle to himself.

Tomlinson - was pleasingly solid


Petty: has lost confidence 

what's going on,   two weeks in a row and i mostly agree, 

was not looking to read this thread   but it is compelling

Shrewd recruiting by us. Imagine how we'd be without Grundy now that Max is out 


@joeboy  Hunter - had little influence 

I have to disagree. Hunter played very well in my opinion. I was at the game.  He was creative and smart with very few errors. Probably one of our best 3-4 players. 22 possessions.  15 kicks. 480 metres gained. Kicked a good goal.  Hit targets.  He was prominent and had influence.

  • 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.
