What a game! 
JVR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

Today’s game told us a fair bit about our team. A mighty victory.

Go you Demons !!!🔴🔵

We are a better side than the 2021 version. Doesn't guarantee anything but I'm bloody excited.

What a luxury having Brodie Grundy take over the #1 mantle from Max and absolutely dominate. Meanwhile McStay will be Collingwood's #1 ruck for the next month. LOL! 


EPIC WIN!!! 🔴🔵

 

Also I know Viney on Maverick Weller exists, but May's tackle today is up there with the best I've seen in our games.

Judd McVee what a find!

18 disposals and 88% efficiency. Great game. Great decision making. Always seems to have time. 


Grundy excellent around the ground....his tap work, not so much...

Oliver unbelievable

JVR a positive debut

McVee excellent

Langdon & Hunter both elite

James Jordon should never be left out of the side again

Now that was a win and a half. We looked mentally shot early in the third quarter but the way in which we halted Sydney's momentum was reminiscent of 2021. 

Our midfield responded brilliantly after last week. Grundy was BOG in my opinion. Oliver was back to his best. Petracca started slowly but got going in the second half.

More importantly, I'm loving our forward mix right now. Chandler was excellent. Frtisch was vital. Van Rooyen looks a player. 

It feels so surreal watching us beat up Sydney like that.

Melksham is a weapon as a sub.

Stiffled the influence of that ugly mofo Lizard Blakey......

Goodwin clearly out-coached Longmire

arrested the clearance issue.

team was focused and intense all gone  

Simply an 8 point game to win against a good side.  

Great debut by Rooey, that will give him lots of confidence going into nest week.  

Good start 

Gained the ascendancy in the centre

Improved cohesion between Grundy and the mids

Soaked up Sydney pressure 

Impressive counter attack rebound footy

Dominated second half

Really good coaching performance today

Plenty of boxes ticked today

Back it up next week

Grundy did really well today and will only get better.

Mark Williams Goal kicking coach an absolute Masterstroke.......

Took em a while though.....

What exactly was Staf actually instructing the players to work on?

  • 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.
