    Sometimes I wonder why Sparrow gets selected.

    Today is one of them.

    he is pretty important to the midfield rotation and making sure our other mids get a rest

    Better quarter, much more contested ball and a few more (earned) free kicks our way.

    Our movement is better this week but our kicking inside 50 is still ****house. 3 marks i50 from 27 entries, vs 8 from 27 for them. Need to do a lot better at kicking to advantage

    Still a lot of work needed on our entries. Oliver has absolutely butchered some of his entries. Trying to be too cute and just completely missing the target.

    Feel like if we just get some better connection and can nullify Jones better we’ll run away with it.

    Just today?

     

    Credit to Goodwin. Our attacking method feels different. We are using the corridor more. Our field kicking has been good. We are taking a moment to assess the next kick attacking out of half back. I like it. 
     

    Nice to have BB and Tmac back. Both are doing their job well. Clarry is a beast. Really loving the look of howes, Windsor and billings. 
     

    Plenty to like!

    May and Clarry physically monstering them

    Billings and Windsor providing the class

    Seeing a lot more kick and mark and spread than last year. Far from perfect but good to see Goody is implementing changes to the game plan

    Umpiring standard this season leaves a lot to be desired.

    We seemed to have taken our foot off their neck in the second halve of the second quarter.

    Great effort from Bb and good to see Chin of old.

    Kozzie gone cold.

    May playing very well.

    Hore is back where he belongs.

    Jvr totally mia that quarter.

    He and Fritta need to get going. Moreso Fritta.

    Max atoning for last week.

    Viney was quiet that quarter after a blistering start.

     

    Milky in the rooms giving advice to fritta 

    obviously a coach in the making really good to see. And petty wandering around as well

    If Sparrow and Fritta can get involved, this would be a big help in consolidating a lead.

    Seemed like we took our foot off a little in the second half of that qtr. a little bit of a missed opportunity but I appreciate it’s warm out there. Might need to conserve energy?

    Windsor has been excellent.  So quick of mind and hands. Love him already.

    Using the half time breaks to read more this year.

    Currently reading Hymns of the Republic by S.G Gwynne which details the last year of the Civil War. Highly recommend!

    Pleasantly surprised by TMac, BBB and Hore. Sparrow has done SFA. Lever still below par. 

    Stoked with Bbb.

    From reports I was expecting him to play with a cane

    • 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.
