Sounds stupid given a 0.0 to 5.0 first quarter but I really didn’t feel like the score reflected the effort. It was our usual arm wrestle first quarter but the score somehow didn’t reflect.

This game was a freak anomaly for mine. 

Our midfield were sound asleep at the start.

It's happened three times this year.

What are they doing before the game. Watching TV?

    I didn’t see an “arm-wrestle” first quarter at all. I saw us getting completely owned by a side who chose to turn up to the game on time.

    Normally pretty depressed after a loss like that but how proud of the boys. Magnificent. Definitely take 6/3 and finally shove the five day breaks.

    When May touched Curnow’s goal and they brought out the Nokia 3310 camera for the score review I knew it wasn’t going to be our night.

    Most one sided 1 pt loss in recent memory. The fightback was excellent, I'm sure plenty will read way too much into it but I'm proud they never gave up.

    Smashed at centre clearance. Carlton kicked 5 from CC and that was really the difference.

    Don't kid yourself, we deserved to win that. That pretty obviously touched by May "goal" and the dangerous tackle call too. Thats a moral victory and shows us that when we bring our best out, we are incredible. Just need to tidy up the first halves.

    Melbourne copped an owies.

    The equivalent in Portuguese is doi doi. 

    I know this, as I currently live with a Portuguese kid with a fondness for scissors. 

    But if he got caught in a perfect tackle and hit his head: holding the ball little mate.

    the first half was a confident Blues carried by the umpiring favouritism 

    third quarter was a slow wresting back with umpires not dominating and paying melbourne free kicks in the back half

    last quarter as melbourne surged and game played inside our fifty the umpires had to invent a few decisions to ensure the result.

    Im going to look at the replay but would like to see the free kick stats distribution .

    6-3 after a tough opening fixture is a very good position to be in. Still well in the hunt for top 4.

    lets write off this loss and move on.

    go dees

    Clarrie is coming from a mile back, and we have no Gus. Sparrow hasn’t taken the step the club needs him too, and we are still fiddling with the balance of outside kickers and grunt.

    Our midfield got absolutely spanked early, and have honestly had a pretty middling year.

    Left the run to late

    Had more scoring shots

    Missed easy goals

    Petty looking at you

    Can't allow a team to kick the first 6

    Review that 1st quarter goody

    There's bound to be a few 'learnings' in there, for YOU, Goodie.

    Us winning would have been highway robbery. 2nd best for 3 1/2 quarters by a long way

    Great calming post.

    Do you think the second quarter (score wise basically even) was a marked improvement in “effort”? 

    I don’t. The game looked basically the same to me, we just found ways to score.

    Curnow knew it was touched.

    The better team, again, scored more shots but fluffed it (easy misses, a complete.no-show in q1) and was done by the umps (that dangerous tackle was simply fraudulent), but yet we walk away with nothing. Again. 

    Proud of the boys for not giving up, but I really hate seeing the blues after these games.

    The media will say bugger all about the umpiring. An email will find them reminding who gives them accreditation.

    How the hell did we allow them to score 5 goals from centre clearances. Midfield needs a kick up [censored] the big time.

    • 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.
