    righto. i’m off to my super important BS meeting

    ill be checking this thread though so no spoilers!!

    Tall forwards need to at least contest the footy and bring it to ground, getting out marked far too easily. Smalls need to apply far more defensive pressure when it does hit the deck. Looks like they're walking it out at times. We're not out of this yet but given its wet it's going to be a struggle.

    I was before the game but that has quickly worn off! Grabbing a drink to settle my nerves.

    It’s hard to think of anyone who is playing well for us and so many non existent. It’s been a real hard watch so far. Would love to know how fit our midfielders are.

    I don’t understand why more club execs don’t question this in public

    For a multi billion dolllar enterprise it’s absolutely unacceptable 

    heads must roll

    if nothing else pert just question the treatment of max 

    Bigger than umpiring though. Post the Maynard attempted murder pert should have beelined for media hip and shouldered daixos away and said “THAT. WAS. NOT. A. FOOTBALL. ACTION. We expected 8 weeks.”

    can we please have a proper crack in this half and restore some respectability.

    Our game plan and forward structures are not conducive to kicking big scores.

    That’s been a problem for a while and been staring us in the face for so long.

    Weve placed too much of an emphasis on contest and defence, to the detriment of scoring quickly.

    Scoreboard pressure is the best type, ours moves slower than a flat battery clock

    when Trac kicked the two we still didn't have the run of play. By the way why take him off?' He's playing forward FFS. 

    Petty is being smashed by Weitering. Pickett unsighted. 

    What do you want me to do? 

    - 16 contested

    Yes, why did we take Tracc off.  Just a complete brain fade of where the game was at and instead going with pre programmed rotations like robots.

    Same with Max in the first.  Left off at the wrong time of the match for too long.

    Petty down back on DeKoning to free up Lever as the spare.

    Leave Tracc up forward.  Kozzy into the middle.

    What a good start to the second half

    Good night.


    Touched but camera the 1975 model.

    Our midfield is really broken.

    Jack Viney is nothing like his last season. They look very very flat footed.

    That tackle by Sparrow was unacceptable.

    Well a couple of Carlton fans just got engaged on the big screen while Love Story by Taylor Swift was playing. 
    So…. Ummm… yeah 

    The MCC is playing to the [censored]. Can’t talk to your neighbour during breaks in game now.

    That passage sums our night in 10 seconds of play. Poor hit out, weak tackle attempt, no pressure at ground level, defenders out of position.

    • 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.

    • 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.
