    joeboy - keep on punchin’

    A consistent and fair appraisal overall. Goody in his presser seemed pleased that Sammy Mitchell persisted with his master tagger. Just leaves the hawks one short offensively at the centre bounces and ball ups. The Demon onball collective appeared to enjoy an even team orientated performance. Clayton Oliver contributed manfully with 23 possessions despite quote ‘couldn’t shake opponent’ and being the focus of some extracurricular physical attention. With 14 disposals in the Round 23 clash last season that triplet would fit. Given the coach’s tactical response and the fact that #13 had an over 60% improvement in possessions this time.

    Oliver - cunning plan gazumped 

    Ed watch 26 disposals at 76.9% DE 4 tackles at 92% ToG%. 

    Langdon - kicks klicks quick

    Young Caleb’s GPS data must be impressive considering his youth. Great addition to the Winger’s club.

    Windsor - has the tank

    Nice on Fritta - loved it when he outbodied Sicily to mark and goal in the last qtr, who went down like a sack of spuds

    Good to see him back to his best.

    As much as I don't like Sicily I can see why the Hawks fought to keep him in. They would have been beaten by another four goals.

    And I reckon if the paid even a quarter of the incorrect disposals against both teams the game would have flowed more and we would have scored more.

    With three talls playing Fritta is at his best. Admittedly Bbb was down, Petty moved back and Jvr in the ruck may have given him more room.

    Also since the inclusion of more talls, Chandler, Kozzie and Nibbler are kicking more goals.

    I'm sure the Hawks threw extra numbers around the ball after the first quarter and it became a bit of a bog fest.

    I'm wondering if Chol has form for using knees and feet out. Was all legit against Maysie but still punishing. He also led with his foot out in the ruck and clipped Jvr on the head. Very dangerous. A touch of Toby G perhaps.

    I've also thought Hawks are a dirty team and the way they went after Oliver confirmed my beliefs.

    Anyway, for so very long we have been their bunnies so I'm revelling in the amount of wins we've had over them recently.

    Petracca - laser like bullets

    van Rooyen - our 2nd ruckman

    Petty - versatility is gold

    Howes - most improved player

    Windsor - pace to burn

    That was right in front of me and i had perfect real time view. I will hate anyone for life if they wrong a Melbourne player. May was flying back like the clappers at an angle courageously, Chol had every right to do what he did.

    Having seen the replay, I suspect the damage to May's ribs was caused by Chol landing on top of May who was partially lying sideways on the ground. I doubt it was the collision itself (and even if it was, Chol did nothing wrong).

    • 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.
