    It's not my job to do your homework many people here know what I have said on this matter, I also asked you a question which you did not answer. Let's see what happens when you answer my question.

    I thought you might be interested in a discussion on game plan and where things went wrong for us.

    Obviously my mistake.

    There is an old saying along the lines of don't answer a question with a question.

    It's a pretty reasonable response.

    I will say this slowly because it seems you struggle to understand my post,  I said before I answer, I then asked you a question which you seem to not answer at all so when you do that I answer you

    Got to keep our sub tactics top secret.

    I've heard from a reliable source that they didn't bring schache on in the semi so as not to impact his preseason.

    Oh lets play the victim card Jesus I have on that many occasions explained myself if you are to lazy to read them then that's not my fault, and by the way where have I been wrong in 22 and 23 please point it out I will be waiting and as for me not accepting other explanations my suggest you look at yourself first.

    You should be senior coach, seem to have all the answers. And a people-person too boot!

    Sorry, are you annoyed about the sub situation from the semi finals? I couldn’t tell. It’s the first time you’ve ever mentioned it.

    Let me guess (my guesses are 100% spot on). These kids are now in trauma therapy. Some doing EMDR, TRTP, the others psychedelic therapies 🤪😳😜😂😳😳

    Of course not. Despite the belief held by many posters on this forum that our gameplan has not changed since 2021, it has been adjusted each preseason due to changes in our list and the way the opposition has responded to it. However, once the season gets underway, successful teams adhere to their gameplan, so when players are injured, there are VFL players available to step in and carry out the plan. The issue we faced last season—which I previously discussed—was that we lost so many important players, leaving us shorthanded. The cupboard was bare. It is difficult to suddenly and drastically alter a system that players have become accustomed to and react instinctively to something different, especially during a finals campaign.

    I didn't think that we lost that many important players, and if so they were at the end of the season and apart from two, Oliver and Petty, they were really below best ten, or 15.

    I don't agree with underestimating Hunter's worth! Here's a quick comparison with other prominent wingman types.

    Hunter: games 197, av disposals 23

    Ed Langdon: 157, 20

    Bailey Smith: 103, 22

    Isaac Smith: 280, 21

    Josh Daicos: 103, 20

    I guess there can be career averages and recent form.

    And then there is disposal efficiency which you don’t quote.

    Frittata and Melksham don’t count then?

    And positions don’t matter eg if it was, say, from our top 15, heaven forbid Rivers and Langdon, it would be far less impactful than Petty, Melksham, Frittata (Brown even) all at once.  There was no key forward structure left.

    I tell you what, no excuses regarding wet weather footy next year. I don't think they have  had more than a couple of dry sessions yet.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • 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.
