Someone needs to turn the lights off for 30 minutes so we can get this game back on our terms.

    This game day thread is a great reminder of why I don’t often read the game day thread.

    It’s ok to acknowledge the competition is tough, and we are a big scalp. Have some faith. 

    I understand what you are saying but I really do believe we are playing well below our best and quite lucky to be in front. Hopefully we will run over them but what we've bought thus far isn't great. Our backline looks like it did against Essendon almost.

    If Langdon is getting tagged we could send him forward and use Fritsch on a wing to get him in to the game.

    Otherwise I’d like to see Fritsch as a lead up half forward and the instruction to kick to the leads rather than bomb it

    The Suns have come to play so we need to roll the sleeves and get to work this half.


    Our lowest contested possession count in a half for over 3 years. Hmm.  Can’t believe its less than Port 2020 but there you go.

    You can see the hangover from the 90 point win with how many stationary handballs and Hollywood stuff. 

    Pickett cleaning up a very bad decision from Chandler there 

    Shut up Dunstall you [censored].

    Why don't they just put on Suns Jumpers and play the team song on a loop.

    Kozzie you just make me smile

    Anyone who’s watched Disco at Casey knows he’s not a deep defender on big talls.

    That’s not a fair match up.

    No 3rd up from Lever either

    Put Petty back FFS. It’s going to cost us the game if Goodys not careful

    • 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.

      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.
