Not an easy thing to deal with, especially an athlete. Still his 2021 grand final game was epic. His intercept marking an off ball pressure went un-talked but but was nearly best on ground.

    If not for standout games from Fritta, Trac and maybe Bont could’ve jagged the Norm Smith. 
    Players have done less in GF and got one.

    It means your computer is averse to Herald/Sun lies bulldust and propaganda. You have a good computer.

    I thought he had it sewn up in the first quarter. 
    And yes, Johannasen won one which surprised many.

    If Salem can rediscover his 2021 form, he'll be a huge boost for the team and our chances and winning the flag. I'm praying he has an injury free pre-season.

    I think the Ch 7 comentators were willing him on to be a game changing influence again when he took that grab in the 3rd qrt of the 21 GF as well, but alas ... 😔

    The big speccy on the goal line? Flash in the pan. A two handed shove out on Bowser’s shoulders. Great for the crowd and television audience but not in the spirit of the rules. But as we know karma kicked in massively and put Jojo and the rest on their arses.

    Funny people have different views on games, I was surprised on the day he won it. He turned the ball over numerous times though, his run off half back was eye catching but after re watching that game a few times I haven’t changed my mind he’d be 5th at best in my BOG that day

    1. McRae - every disposal connected and set up transition. Super clean all day and composed with ball in hand

    2. Boyd - best big man on the ground impacted aerial contest all day by clunking or bringing the ball to ground and impacted the scoreboard 

    3. Kennedy - was just a contested beast, close to the best stoppage display in a GF, virtually turned the momentum himself in the second quarter 

    4. Picken - kept bobbing up as half forward providing pressure and hit up option whilst also impacting the scoreboard 

    5. Then JJ

    Yes, it would be great, without risking breaching copyright (ie don’t cut and paste) to get a brief précis on what in particular he needs to come back from.  NB knee, calf, thyroid, etc

    • 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.
