    That was Nero's fault. He fiddled instead of calling the fire brigade.

    McKay is actually listed at 204cm.

    It's a significant difference and that's where I thought Tomlinson battled well even though he was beaten.

    I'd play him on Brody Mihocek.

    Mihocek is an aerobic beast fwd he works his [censored] off and Tomlinson can go with him better than May

    Let 2021 go mate. We're not going to dominate every week.

    That's the thing. Some people think the last three minutes of the third quarter of GF was how played for the entirety of 2021. Recall the loss to GWS. Their midfielders waltzed out of centre bounces and our forward line was anaemic (picture high kicks to Spargo matched against two tall defenders...). Re-read the postgame thread; midfield rubbish, Fritsch to be dropped, Goodwin to be sacked. 

    Form fluctuates. Sustained success is hard. Premierships are a possibility not a certainty.

    Lots of focus on our opposition not being amazing but our gold coast win at metricon looks really good to me, as they knocked off the doggies who are in great form.

    Such a tiresome stat that actually shows how we beat up on lowly teams and struggle against top 8 teams.

    Following your logic you must be thrilled with our scores of 76, 72 and 61 in the last three weeks, lol

    We have Coll, Cats at Geelong, Saints, Brisbane and Adelaide coming up, reality check time.

    Good posting

    Absolutely! See also the essendon win, hawthorn draw, loss to the bulldogs (stats were ok but we were really lacking connection), even the wins against West Coast and Adelaide at the end people were not very comfortable with. We played a lot of footy similar to last night in 2021.

    I sort of like it how we are going under the radar with mainstream media at this stage of the season. 

    Same. Bar a couple of close losses this season is trending like 21.

    Good for you 

    You would probably declare season over at three quarter time.

    Probably should be talking about Petracca's game more.

    32 possessions, 6 marks, 4 tackles, 7 clearances, 15 ground ball gets (next highest for either side was Walsh with 8), 9 score involvements but also 27 pressure acts, 11 of which were in the defensive half, all from 83% game time. Did it on offence and defence. Truly superb.

    He played with a chip on his shoulder last night, good to see

    If you’re gonna post your little rhetorical question how about you elaborate while you’re at it.

    100%
    The backline held the joint together for much of the middle part of the year.
    Front end of the ground didn't work much better than ours is now though Kozzie and Frittta were kicking a few.

    You understand this is blatant hypocrisy, right?

    We win ugly, you talk about how we played terrible football.

    Collingwood win ugly, you talk about their W-L record (i.e. suggesting the win is all that matters).

    Collingwood had one ugly game while we've had quite a few ugly games.

    Did you watch their win against North last week?

    Imagine your reaction if we only beat North by 35 points and allowed them to kick 6 goals in a quarter. 
    You’d be calling for a National inquiry

    I'm sure you wouldn't be happy with conceding six in a quarter to North

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • 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.
