Why the heck are we playing a defensive, around the boundary line style against the bottom side? Seriously take the bloody game on

    Hopefully we saved the best for last. Hawks turned up the intensity that quarter

    Because we suffer from CAS (corridor aversion syndrome)

    Partly due to no one leading up at the ball since Petty went off?

    Also until Max switched in late, Grundy got smacked in the third in center bounces and we handed all the momentum (via clearances) to the Hawks

    I hear what your saying but surely when you have an undersized forward line, the slow play around the boundary is only going to allow them to flood into our 50, making it near impossible for us to score 


    Subject to fitness, BBB straight in next week if Petty's injured

    Another very solid game from Gus


    So you're allowed to drag the ball under and just sit on it now??  Oh right....only if it's in front of our goals

    Another horribilis for the umps tonight.  What a sham

    Dunstalls commentary (or should I say barracking for the Dawks) is somewhat unfriggin bearable 🤫

    I don’t know what you are taking about

    seems to be even to me

    no irony

    ANB our leading KTF !  :jakovich:

    Another game, exact same old problems.  Skill level & wasted forward connection/composure. Geelong & Collingwood would tear us apart.  One quarter of elite pressure and then couldn't be assed and started back pedalling through the middle.

    Can't really work out who has played well today.  Quite a forgettable one.  Still can't see any improvement from the back end of last year tbh.

    P.S - May has an amazing habit of getting in the right spot but then dropping the mark. 🤔

    • 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.
