Can someone please explain why you play on from the centre at pace and then kick to 3 on one opposition and the other forwards no where near it?

    Casey a competitive quarter, inaccuracy for goal denies them the lead.

    Entertaining footy. 

    Laurie, AMW, Tholstrup all excellent. Billings using it well, K Brown had some impressive early touches. Jefferson showing that he's capable at ground level and not just reliant on his marking. Sestan got more involved as the quarter wore on and looks dangerous inside 50.

    Surely AMW gets a promotion soon. His tackling is good.  Won some good contested footy too.

    Inability to get clean possession inside 50 hasn't helped. Sandringham much better going inside 50

    Casey would positively lead the i50 count. Sandy cleaner more efficient.

    Yes they often miss lateral or 45 options but it's also a result of some forwards not working hard enough (repeat efforts) to hit up at the ball carrier.

    This same thing purveys alot when players are bursting out of stoppage through the middle or off a wing. 

    The leads from designated forwards often go missing.  They are somehow expecting fatigued player to kick it over the head of their defender as they run away from them towards goal.

    Alternatively a player at stoppage receiving or gathering under pressure then having to dump kick.  Often forwards sit back in this situation allowing their direct opponent or a spare to play in front for the easy intercept.

    See this quite often at senior level too.

    One of my bug bears.  Very frustrating to watch.

    Their transition has been quicker / slicker on occasions too giving them nice looks inside 50

    Edwards having a decent game so far.

    Hits up Benny who then decides not to shoot at goal from 50 and returns the favour to Edwards who misses from 35 on a 45

    Agree, but one can see you have no forwards present but they just kick without understanding they need to hold it up till the forwards get back it's just playing on for the sake of it, it's bad coaching full stop.

    • 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.
