Petty, BBB, JVR and Fritta a combined 0 marks between them.

Well Fritsch did have a mark but the Brisbane player illegally chopped his arms.

    It all comes down to the midfield. We are getting smashed in clearances and contested possessions. That’s the game. 
    You can’t blame the forwardline when the midfield is not able to win the ball.

    Embarrassing

    Look very flat, 2 hard games with 5 day breaks … not sure why we never  have tall fwds  when the ball is going fwd 

    BBB should be deep inside the 50 and trying to attract Harris Andrews attention. Instead we keep hoping that JVR can compete with a veteran Backman.

    What's disappointing about that is that he used to clunk everything for Casey.

    He's OK when the ball comes in soft but not when it comes in with pace.


    Tall key forwards Petty BBB JVR - one solitary disposal to half time.

    Add Frittata - 2 disposals between them

    2 kicks in total for the half for Brown, Tholstrup, Fritsch, Windsor, vanRooyen, Pettty combined😱

    Makes you wonder how Brisbane's midfield can be so superior, but they are killing us! Everything else flows from this.

     

    As a team performance this is about as bad as it gets, hardly anyone winning their position can't see us getting out of this

    We look tired;  BBB, Petty Billings nothing

     

    Shot to bits.

    We butchered two attacking thrusts in that last little peroid.

    We had them cold and reduced the deficit by a couple of goals.

    Terrible football.

    No it's his marking technique full stop.

    Well he's two disposals above Bbb. .Fritta and Petty the latter who has had zero touches.

    Petty no touches in a half.....hmmm.

    Joeboy. Great stuff. Name names. Running in circles.  JVR has dropped 15 marks in a row.

    This is simplistic. We are down in all areas aside from goal accuracy compared to last year and we are getting smoked by a team that is going moderate to good in all areas aside from accuracy. Just so happens there slotting them tonight.

    Easy shots given.

    You may be right. I do know that he can't be dishing up what he has been. Take the damn game on. There's a point in time where we may as well give Jefferson an earlier than expected crack.

    I think Norf put up a better fight against them last week. 

    We are kicking a score similar to a Hawthorn or North tbh.

    The inexperience of our youngsters, Windsor, Howes, JVR and McVee, is showing.
    And our experienced forwards, Brown, Petty, Fritter, are out of position when the ball comes in.

    Clarrie is obviously hampered by his hand and is pretty much useless tonight. 


    Agree we’ve been [censored], but I’m ready to jump the fence and deck one of these useless umpires.

    * violence apparently doesn’t solve anything. I might find out later.

    And when we win it we give it back.

    Did anyone else get the feeling we were talking up our wins in Adelaide too much.

    Like we had just one a final.

    Clearly we were very happy with these wins 

    So much so we have given up on this one 

    A very poor performance.

    Very poor 

    From the top down.

    And a shout out to Kozzie...well played sitting on the sidelines.

    Move Petty back & T Mac forward. Worth a try at least.

    Was thinking exactly that.

    Gotta make a move when absolutely nothing is working up forward.

    • 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.
