It’s their home game so they control all the ‘activations’ pregame and halftime. Even if it was our home game it wouldn’t happen anyways. The most we were free to do in round one was to all wear Gussy helmets, but we can’t wear them on Monday since we’ll be wearing this year’s Big Freeze beanie.

I’ve been PM’d some awesome banner content suggestions from posters on here. Thing is, I doubt they’d even be considered. Remember, the AFL don’t want the Gus travesty highlighted, for obvious reasons 😑

You’re saying that some thing gus related would be kyboshed by the AFL stasi?

Of course! Pretty much everything we do has to be signed off by the AFL. They don’t want attention drawn to this, attention won’t be drawn to it. End of story.

[censored] that. Rather give me money to the Augusta National for spectator entry fees, or any of the Open courses. 
 

And people laugh off conspiracy theories

We are hurting 

an unMelbourne like performance 

looking like JVR will be fit to go 

no training loads 

missed Lever but Tommo and Tmcd covered the prior week ok

pride Ourselves on contested footy 

lots of spin 

goody lost me with the “lean in” phrase … another new corporate phrase like “Hands-in”’aka a team meeting or “pivot” aka to change something

Simon … if you must, please “pivot” the team away from overhandballing overhandballing overhandballing !!! Killing us with turnovers and skill errors and cut off so predictably

i was never going to make it down and just found out that Bridge Road Brewery will have the match on the big screen here in Beechworth.  Ben Kraus ( who has led the brewery since inception with Maria) is a bombers supporter, and interested in seeing how we perform and how the bombers can match up to the best, so has arranged for the coverage.  I did have a BBQ planned with a blues supporting mate who always supports the dees against any other side. He is still sufferable. But I will be a poor loser tomorrow should that happen and concerned that the brewery might attract some Collingwood supporters, Ill be trying to direct them to the Nicholas Hotel where mine host is a rabid Collingwood supporter .

Any other Demons in town coming down to the brewery?

I get conniptions on hearing some of the terminology Goody uses. I really hope this isn't how he speaks to the players and is just reserved for media conferences.

Yes - annoying. I’m now able to go, but can’t get any tickets at all, even with Trident membership, which I think gives access to GA tix for away games in Melbourne? Looks like it wil be a 100k blockbuster?

Really interested in selection this week.

Why the delay and goody saying let's take 24 hours more and sleep on a possible decision.

I sense something big?

Isn't that all the more reason to do something.  Doesn't have to be official cheer squadn action, surely?

In Moyhu here enjoying the sunshine. Lots of breath testing stations around this weekend. Last night covered all exits/entries Snow Rd-Wang Whitfield Rd. Lots of wineries and Breweries open for their big weekend. Enjoy the brewery and the match!.:)

When do the teams come out?

Im really hoping the Kolt comes in for Mcadam. Think he deserves another crack.

Oliver ‘managed’ is my guess

Incredibly unlikely IMO. Clarrie has been going OK, just not at his usual sensational best.

With the bye one week away I will be amazed if anyone is out "managed". When was the last time that happened at selection for us?

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • 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.
