    Quality game. I think if we're able to get out the back Carlton are vulnerable but aside from that it's going to be about who wins the most contests.

    Wouldn't call it quality but we have way more upside than them, we should get it done

    Hunter the sloppiest player I’ve ever seen.

    Heart in mouth every time he even picks up the ball as it looks like it will just slip through his fingers.

    Ship him off.... I've had enough

    I’ve never seen the kind of pressure Carlton are dishing up. It’s beyond extraordinary. Playing out of their skins. They can’t possibly keep it up, and when it drops, we’re in. Well done boys, hold your cool.

    Got the same feeling. As bad as we have been with unforced errors, we have absorbed a lot. We can turn it around. I'm not sure Grundy is the answer up fwd.

    Ffs this is how they play every week. [censored] me to death people who don't understand teams or formlines heading into a game. They are the best contested team in the league. They are the best defensive team in the league. You're seeing that.

    Win this and we can chill out the last two games and have a home first final against Collingwood

    The Carlton supporter behind me, I've just about had enough of him. He feels he has to tell out his opinion on every play. If he bags another one of our players I'll scream.

    We better win just to shut him up. 

    Just let him know they haven't made the 8 yet.

    Except the kicking at goal bit, 2 x shanks off the ankle....

    He's been kicking at 70% efficiency, not a major issue for me if he misses a couple.


    Right in this game when we absolutely shouldn't be.

    Carlton playing as good a footy as they can and we are playing average... yet we're only down by 2 points!

    Get some players to lift and we got this.

    But what happens to Grundy then?

    He rucks more and Gawn helps out the defenders

    When?

    Only turned it on with 5 mins to go after watching the Matilda’s. Carlton seems to have the numbers, though this is the sort of grind we like. Wouldn’t want them to string a few together. They are playing well, want the scalp

    Well I don't think we can play much worse and it's only a two point difference.

    If we keep playing our normal game instead of a change up to allow for the comditions we just might!

    Still trying for the clean chains of possessions in greasy conditions.

    Players like ANB & Sparrow looking to take on the tacklers instead of the quick surge kick forward.

    Makes no sense unless the oppo aren't closing and hopeless with their pressure.

    Unfortunately the Blues aren't one of those teams.

    So we either change the way we play to align with the conditions or it will be a coin flip, or worse!

    Will the players get this general message at half time and reset?

    If not why not !!??

    I don’t think it’s knee jerk. I’m just saying, we will definitely use the sub at some point and this is what I would do get the most out of the sub. That’s all. 
    We need to go at least half a quarter before we make a sub. It’s too risky to go this early. 

    Van Rein WTF 25M out 

    My 16 yo would've nailed those.

    What is the twidingly the ball [censored]. Even Trac has stopped that [censored].

    Is this what Mark William's teaches?

    Salem still looks NQR. Seems slow and reactive.

    Ever since I put him in my Fantasy and SC team he's been well off the boil. I've deleted both apps so don't worry he'll come good.

    20 minute mark of this third quarter. 
    Can’t sub off a midfielder this early in case we get an injury.

    • 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.
