Back 6 were [censored] unreal!

Adam Tomlinson take a bloody bow. Ive questioned his work this year but even after last week I was satisfied with his performance. This week he went up a notch! Lucky he wasn't dropped as @DeeSpencer was adamant he would... 😎

This now has to be our settled back 6 for the rest of the year.

Still think Petty will be there in September. 

Tomlinson's lack of athleticism costs him against the better forward lines.

    I honestly thought everyone played to their best. Yes there were mistakes but the run and attack from every Demon won the day

    Geez Louise. Only we could have concocted a scenario where we nearly coughed up a game at the death that could’ve been won by 15 goals.

    Incorrect. Tomlinson needs to play a role. He can concede 2-3 goals a game and we can still keep the opposition to under 10 goals because it allows May and Lever to play their natural game. 
    If he keeps this form up and we can play Petty forward, we will win the flag. Yes, I said it.

    Being 16 points in front with 1:44 left on the clock, and having the ball in our hands from a point being kicked, we really shouldnt have seen this one go as close as it did.

    Yes, it is unfair to brand him with that when there is such a wondrous variety of annoying American types to choose from.

    Right.

    You are going to be really disappointed for the rest of the season then.

    I mean really.

    Clueless comment.

    If this was about any other country there would be outrage about racism. Can't you just say you don't like the bloke and leave the anti USA out.

    Personally, stuff him.

    Why do umpires get to umpire teams back into games against us so often. 

    The umpires under instructions from the AFL regard themselves as 'entertainers par excellence', far more important than the players, and teams. If we killed The Filth by significant amounts, the 'entertainment' level and resultant anxiety from a spectator's point of view would be massively eroded. Plus, of course, this game was against The Filth and its hotline to the media in general, the AFL Headquarters, the gate receipts, the broadcast rights, the Tribunal and the thousands of toothless simple minds (so represented) in the Piggery. Sad to say, but evident. 

    I knew we would win, and JSmith would start making a supporting difference to the game up forward when I noticed several Demon supporters breaking out the French brie at 3/4-time. Of course, they didn't have any wine; who would drink the swill provided by the caterers at the ground - and you cannot bring a dusty but mature red into the ground as an accompaniment. Viney and Salem were great today - and May was a rock, well supported.

    We are into 4.50 for the flag, Pies 4.00

    Are we finally looking at a MFC v Pies GF? That would truly be amazing.

    Not enough love for Lachie Hunter's hit on Hoskin-Elliot (3.54 left in the first quarter). Was awesome. Too bad Grundy couldn't finish the work off.

    Tell me you're clueless about footy circa 2023 without saying you're clueless about footy circa 2023.

    Pls Binno.

    His fumbles and indecisiveness going i50 are killers. If we lost everyone else would be asking for his head too.

    Perhaps he's just in the middle of a loading phase & he'll come good....?

    Unbelievably gritty, hard and admirable win. We played our system and played it well. We were unbelievably patient and stubborn and that got us the game. 

    But I will say something. 

    We could be a dynastic team if we had a couple/few more elite ball users. Because my god do our best players butcher it consistently. 

    And that's something I hope we address in the off season.

    17 tackles inside F50 to 4 and awesome pressure all over the ground creating doubt in the pies and turnovers.

    That sort of effort will win plenty of matches.

    Kick straight and that was a 5-6 solid victory.

    Stoked with this win.

    We won this game the way we like to win. Hard contested footy. Won clearances (without Oliver!) and contested possessions and dominated defensively. 
    That is pleasing as we know this method wins us a flag.

    I really hope the younguns take the confidence gained from this game and never doubt themselves, that they can take on and easily be as good or better than much more fancied opponents.

    A wonderful team effort, and when the chips were down, they ground it out and stood up with their more experienced team mates.

    Joyous day!

    • 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.
