I understand the plan now, bomb it to the hotspot so many times that the defenders crash into each other and take out their ruckman - and hopefully crumb a couple of goals in the process. 
 

Nice to see it come together after 2 years of trying

    Any chance we could ask Harmes to tag the Bont??

    Will happily take the lead (albeit slim) considering how much space we've allowed the Bulldogs forwards so far.

    Windsor looks good. Staggering that Billings was given the sub vest last week. Hasn't looked out of place at all so far.

    Surprised the doggies didn’t follow Sydney and just flood the drop of the ball with players. Worked a treat for them last week.

     

    Great to see us out marking the opposition for once.

    Some decent umpiring and we are two goals up .

    May looking good.

    Kozzie too.

    Chandler getting better.

    Jvr and Oliver getting involved.


    Anyone else see May smash Harmes and then push his head into the ground??

    no love lost there!

    Lot of belting it blindly into the F50, luckily the Dogs defenders seem to have NFI under the high ball…could go either way though we would want to play a bit better to put a break on them 

    Ahead on all the key stats

    Forward entry is the usual failure but the Dogs backline is their weakest spot so we might be on

    1st qtr 

    👍🏻May. Viney. Rivers. Mcvee. Billings. Salem. Oliver. 👏👏👏

    X Gawn handball to English 🤨🤨🤨

    X umps 😡😡

    Nice comeback after the dogs start.

    Billings has done some nice things, vineys kicking is a lot better and van rooyen is taken some good marks. 

    Just need trac to stop fumbling

    Fix that and we win.

    Just lead and create space and stop bombing.

    They'll catch onto it soon enough. Unbelievable we're still dumping it in

    Where is Max?

    I've only got radio and stats to watch here, so maybe I am missing something?

    7 disposals, 3 marks, 4 clearances, 2 intercepts, 2 rebound 50s, 3 score involvements, 130m gained at 85% DE seems like a pretty good first quarter for a ruck.

    Cheers.

    I was worried he was injured when Jvr was rucking for so long.

    Brilliant finish from ANB, but that goal was ALL CLARRY!

    • 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.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
