    Not sure why Spargo was subbed and not Pickett

    Hope he does something in the last because so far he has been well beaten

    Nothing surer than Collingwood pulling this off now they don’t know how to lose we will need to play some crazy footy to win this

    Umps have been great imo letting them play

    Yea agreed. They missed a couple soft ones both ways. Hope they don’t ruin it in the 4th.

    Our defence was impeccable that quarter. That being said, our kicking into the forwardline needs a lot of work. We can't just rely on our defence to win us this game.

    Always kicking to double coverage on Max. Some very bad habits.

    Yep, even wasting some inside 50 balls. There was one passage of play where he elected to kick out of our fwd 50 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

    Expected score at half time 33 - 27 our way.

    Inaccuracy letting us down again.

    Other stats supporting that we have a small edge in a close game, leading tackles, takes inside 50, marks inside 50, contested marks, clearances, and contested possessions.

    Collingwood with more disposals - 20 more handballs. 

     

    There is a tactical battle with structures, Collingwood trying to get an overlap on the outside, which they then seem to use to cut inboard while we work to man back up. When they get it, they have scored. When we've denied it they have struggled to move the ball threateningly.

    Scoring a couple of goals from stoppages early was a real boon for them.

    Evenly poised, and it might come down to individual brilliance or team fitness.

    Well we really worked hard to contain the overlap and spare man than quarter. Pushed them wide but cut off options back in board.

    We dominated possession that quarter, +14 contested possessions, +30 disposals, for the quarter.

     

    6 more scoring shots. Those first half misses may come back to bite us.

    But honestly I want to see Pickett contribute something. He just doesn't do enough for me

    Kozzie needs to stand up. And I don’t mean to attempt some ridiculous mark. Somebody. And likely some of our guys will need to do special things to hold off the notoriously fast finishing pies.

    It would be nice to actually walk out of here and not deal with Collingwood scum

    Umpiring has been ok. Joel Smith’s “dangerous” tackle was a garbage call though.

    Should we have bought in Melksham as another scoring option because Spargo and Chandler aren't offering much 

    Yes for Spargo.  He's slow as since returning from the head knock

    Tempting though.

    Having said that, a goal each from Chandler and Kozzy this quarter might just get us the chocolates

    One of our best that quarter

    he was good. 


    Cracking game.

    12 point turnaround there


     hopefully that’s not the difference

     we miss a similar opportunity, they take theirs. Got to take chances against the pies

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      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.
