How many times are Richmond going to get away with holding the man every time we go inside forward 50 ?

    So Kozzie wins teh first clearance and has barely been back in there.

    Get him in there more.

    Funny how if you touch a guy off the ball it's [censored] city. But you can jump in to anyone and take them out

    Still a bit unclear on why Marlion Pickett is allowed to play matches right now. Will be very strange if he’s found guilty.

    Kosi has to play more in the middle. Richmond are cutting us up with pace. No Sparrow or Oliver is really hurting. 

    Poor defensive work all over the ground.

    As many as they do is the answer.

    Harmes just killing us. Hasn’t had an effective disposal and missed two sitters. Surely this is his last game

    Kozzie and Viney seemed very quiet that quarter. Pickett and Petracca needs to play more in the middle with Oliver and Sparrow out


    Need Kozzie in the middle 

    Melksham struggles to play constantly good. Chandler seems the same 

    Max lifted the last five minutes and it makes a huge difference. He's such a barometer.

     

    Everything coming off for Richmond, don't know how long that can last

    Tigers scoring 1/2 entries …. It is not sustainable - expect that to dry up.

    Also need a sweeper behind the ball at stoppage.

    A wide fast shootout against the Tigers is not the way to win. 
    We have to get on top in the contested possessions or we won’t win this. If we keep the game this open they’ll keep cutting us up. 
    I understand we want to play more attacking, but when it’s not working it’s not working. We know we can win a slog so make it a slog.

    Why, thought you are innocent until proven guilty.

    No composure. 
    we have none. So many dump kicks, hurried handballs. We need to compose ourselves. 
     

    When we have a clean centre bounce we need to keep the ball lower. So many long bombs.

    Need much more from Salem, JJ, Chandler all three need to get more involved. Hunter and Langdon need to win more contests on the wing.

    Bowey’s disposal hasn’t been great.

     

    We miss Sri’s and Clarrie on days like this when the opposition loves the contest as much of not more.

    FMD you useless [censored] umpire. Blow your [censored] whistle 

    It's not the umpires who have continually fumbled and missed straight-forward shots at goal.

    • 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.
