Gawn - far from effective

Grundy - had little impact

Salem - class was evident 

McVee - was rarely sighted

May - perfect defender’s game

Lever - safe and steady 

Petty - not always convincing 

Rivers - fumbled but effective 

Brown - had a presence 

Brayshaw- better second half

Pickett - was invisible again

Melksham - experience was important 

Petracca - was the difference 

Sparrow - tough and brave

Viney - great first half

Jordon - an important ingredient 

Woewodin - some good signs

Bowey - always under control 

Neal-Bullen - quiet after first

Spargo - didn’t justify selection 

Hunter - consistent and important 

Langdon - great first half

Best analysis yet.

 

MFC - Gawn or Grundy? 

I don't see any way we can keep both in the same side. We've really shot ourselves in the foot with the recruitment of Grundy.

Kozzie - lazy and selfish 

Did he get it enough to be selfish ?

Grawndy did okay-ish (Grundy alarming ineffective with the ball, though)

...but... when Marshall has them covered in total for marks, tackles, and inside-50s and is barely shaded for clearances in a two rucks vs one game, there's a serious issue.

Pickett was invisible like the hole left by a cartoon character running through a wall - yeah, you can't actually 'see' it, but you notice it very clearly.

 

joeboy as Scot Palmer used to sign off "Keep Punching". Woe to those not pulling their weight!

In agreement on the above 7

And if all 7 played to their best, we win by 10+ goals

To win the flag we can't have too many players not at their best ... and we weren't playing against the best tonight either

St Kilda had 5 of their best 15 not playing

We did play quite well but too many passengers for a team that's ultimate goal is the premiership

  • 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.
