Fortunate to be only 8 points down,  very fortunate

Not really with the 3 sitters we missed in the first. Sib out Harmes for Smith at halftime

    4 free kicks to 2 in a half of footy umps have put the whistle away.  
     

    This game will be won by who can maintain the rage for longer

    Why, thought you are innocent until proven guilty.

    Yeah, fair enough. I’m just thinking how odd these matches would seem in hindsight, should it go south. I can’t recall another example of an AFL player taking the field under such circumstances, but maybe it’s not unique.

    Our tackling weak and ineffective.

    Set shot Goal kicking back to our worst.

    Tigers very hard at the ball and man.

    Still bombing forward instead of putting the ball in front of the player.

    2 frees in a half and umps ignoring our forwards being held on every entry.

    Our fumbling is superb.

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

    Irrelevant comment.And he’s innocent

    Is it just me, or does May look like he's treading water out there? Looks injured and very slow.

    If it went south he might be in jail.

    Anything up to ten unpaid free kicks to the half.

    He was like that last week....


    Oooof what a mess.

    61pts against us, so far, in a half. Our backline is a mess and has been for a while. What happened to our fortress?

    Typical for us to serve this [censored] after port and the lions open up an avenue to second place. 

    And what the hell was that from Gus??

    Kozzie back in the middle, just get Harmes to tag somebody, best use we can get from him, and EVERYBODY PULL THEIR FINGERS OUT and stop giving them cheap goals.

    I could've sworn it was only half time?

    He has never been that quick and he's not getting any younger.

    Honestly our kicking has been woeful at times 

    Surely not?

    Not just you, looks to be injured or had lost more than a yard of pace and slow to react


    Tigers with thirty more possessions. Need some more players to stand up like Trac and Viney. They can't do it all. That means you Jordan, Gus and Hunter 

    We may be a goal behind but we are being well outplayed.

    Tigers playing Bazball while we look like Australia. 

    Why does Goody to take so long to activate the sub?

    Do we have anyone else in reserve to replace Woey?He's had a good run but he's not doing much anymore.

    Hopefully Chandler and Kozzie get involved in the game.

    Not just you 

    old slow and rubbish below knees

     

    Our bottom six, Harmes, Chandler, Woey, Jordon, etc. really are ordinary.

    Can’t help but think Hibbo would have been able to steady our defence when under pressure. Must play next week.

    • 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.

      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.
