This is bottom four material. Being completely out coached. Absolutely no system going forward yet Saints look dangerous on the rebound. So many poor players. Oliver by and far is a pale imitation of the player he was. Petty need to go.

    Tomlinson has clearly decided this stretch without Lever is has last chance to prove his AFL credentials.

    At half time leads all on the ground for;

    Intercepts, metres gained, 1%ers, disposals, conteseted posessions, and contested marks.

    Not pitching a shut-out defensively but has been very effective.

    Where does he fit when Lever is available again? Competing with McDonald or competing for a Hibberd-style role with a few of the younger and shorter guys?

    What a frustrating game we play.

    We were dominated in the middle that qtr.

    Steele, Sinclair and Dow all 10+ disposals that qtr.

    1 disposal from Viney

    3 disposals from Trac.

    Same old story this year where our mids just aren’t getting enough.

    Double the inside 50’s and shots on goal against a terrible defence

    good job all!!

    🙄

    What are we going to do about Jvr and Petty?

    It's not Bbb either.

    I'm afraid this season is a bust with our current tall fwds. They just can't kick goals. Petty has kicked two goals in nine games now and only once has been a marking connection against Geelong.

    Surely we try Tmac or Tommo soon. They are strong and can hold a mark.

    This game is frustrating to watch. We are clearly a better team, but we are not playing like it.

    Poor Thommo.

    Seems to happen all the time, comes in, performs, then gets the old heave ho a few weeks later from Goody.

    Good on him for hanging around

    Kelli's voice is synching up well with the annoying nature of this game.

    Chin isn’t the smartest footballer going around. Needs to stay composed and have some peripheral vision. 

    Agreed.  Not the greatest awareness / vision.

    He's a quick player across the ground & a good scrapper at ground level.

    Panics with his disposal far too often and generally only looks straight ahead, even when players are running alongside laterally or coming from behind as an inside corridor option.

    Consider subbing him for Woe from here.

    Push Tracc up forward for more minutes and bring ANB into the middle during those periods to utilise his kicking accuracy coming inside 50.

    Tackling intent much better than last week. I suspect they are burning from the Reid fend offs

    We're not though. It's not 2021 anymore. We need to accept where we are.

    2nd Q’s are our worst

    we need to kick 3-4 early or this will be an arm wrestle right to the end

    Quarters like that kill any joy I get as a supporter and spectator.

    Rubbish game of footy

    Most games are that involve Ross Lyon. 

    We are a first class looking outfit, pity we are playing an economy class style of football………for Plummet Airlines. 😞

     

    Oliver and tracs caps maybe fitting a little tight these days

    Yep. Sad but true. I mean we are still in the mix but a fair way from the top. 

    I look at the Casey team and wonder who else we can play but it's not too exciting unfortunately.

    Maybe Milk back soon will help but I can't see who is forcing Goody's hand to get a game.

    Our midfield started well today but that was a miserable second quarter with Tracca, Oliver and JV with a total of 29 touches combined.

    Is Sparrow playing a tag role?  Haven't seen him. I mean we ain't Gunna win a game of Tracca, Oliver and JV all have 20 disposals each.

    Anb can hold his head up as can Tommo and Rivers and Salo.

    • 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.
