This is just the kind of game we are notorious for losing. 

I'm nervous

except for the last 6 years against them.

    Who is the sub?

    I want them all to play

    Hawks aren’t as terrible as a lot of people think and Mitchell is a smart coach who will do everything to disrupt our game…:that said you’d expect class to win out in the end and us to get home by 25-35 points

    Some trivial posting.

    I noticed that the spider cam was not at the Colly Saints game.

    At our last G game, the techs game out at half-time to adjust it.

    Read somewhere that the broadcast vision was fuzzy.

    Maybe the ball that hit it in a previous game, has caused problems. 

    Spider may be down again.

    May to shut down Lewis. they don’t have many tall threats after that

    midfield is developing but young

    backline average. 

    we would need to have an off day to lose this

    Just Chol and that's probably about it. Who gets him?

    I think this game will be won in the middle and as usual our Python like backline.

    I hope lever performs better today. He's been a bit lack lustre the first few games.

    who are we thinking for the sub? out of the 5 below it’s a tough call  

    1. WINDSOR
    2. HORE
    3. Oliver
    4. Petty
    5. T Mac

     

    I reckon Windsor if the sub has to be from the “Thursday night selected“ bench.

    Otherwise Sparrow.

    That's a big bet on Petty's fitness.

    Not sure if I like it. Could bite us.

    Like this a lot. Stretch the Hawks with attacking talls, was alway unlikely we’d need TMac and Hore as tall backs. Plus keeps Windsor’s speed on the park.

    Great man to bring in ... sitting on the bench, watching and learning the opposition weaknesses, relieving Petty after a first hit-out, doing his thang to the Hawks' forwards, some merit in the ideas ...

    • 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.
