Turner has been an absolute deadeye for goal, but his biggest issue has been positioning I feel.

Seems he's getting the hang of it now!

    May is home too. I don’t know that we need to read too much into it. 
    But really good to see Clarry there! 

    Trac was busy having coffee with Lachie Neale this morning, according to the Herald Sun.

    After all the negative stuff this last month a win like this gives you hope for the future no matter what happens now

    Screw draft picks

    Culture and a winning mentality far more important

    Surely we have learnt this lesson the hard way by now

    Good. Neale wanted out of Brisbane too. Maybe they’re chatting about how to mend bridges.

    A player who wanted to move, was held to a contract and is now happy at his a club?

    Or did Trac really like Noosa

    Goodbye pick 5

    Hello pick 10?

    Goodbye "Dean Bailey era playing for draft picks" mentality.

    Hello "next Flag tilt"

    I hope not.

    I guess with Gus gone.

    Anb possibly leaving.

    Tracca injured.

    Oliver too...

    The club doesn't seem so tight knit.

    Hopefully it's still woven deep and we lose nobody.

    Wins like this certainly help.

    Gawn spoke wonderfully yet again. Great captain and leader. To me today was a performance of united group, no fractures.
     

    Can’t say how I feel about Trac though. Can’t see him with the team in the rooms. Oliver is there, Spargs is there.

    Where are you Trac?

     

    I suspect medical advice would be that he still should not fly

    Alex was massive in the midield the further the game went on.

    Fabulous that he got his wish to sing the song 🎶

     🤞 there is a repeat next week!

    Please next year, loosen the obsession with “Contest & Defence” just a little bit!! Half a turn… and let the Boys play with some dare. 
    Scoring is just as important as defending…

    Doubtful unless he walked to Noosa 

    Sometimes space is a good thing.

    We are going to have some genuine competition for tall forward spots next year.

    JVR and Turner have to be locks for mine.

    I'd love Petty to play back, but where does TMac play? May and Lever are locks at the back.

    I'm so excited by Turner and have been most of this year. He's quick, he attacks contests in the air, and he's a good kick.

    He still fades in and out of games, but that's natural at his age and level of experience. 

    Jack Viney, Max Gawn, Alex Neal-Bullen and Ed Langdon were incredible today. Possibly the best game Jack has played. Absolutely bossed it.

    Jack Viney was asked about his future with the Demons when interviewed on ground after game and didn’t deny about whether he was leaving or not, just said let’s get through this and we’ll sort that stuff out at and of year, honestly think he’s thinking about going to North, they’re trying for Ollie Wines too. His old man is there and his childhood mate could be there too, don’t be surprised if he leaves at end of year!!

    Amazing how winning the centre clearances makes a difference @Binmans PA.

    Yeah, I see a forward line of JVR, Fritsch, Turner and Jefferson. Petty May and Lever down back. I am a huge fan of TMac, but can't see him in the 22 next year (having sad that, he keeps surprising me).

    Like you, Turner looks on the edge of busting the game apart.

    • 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.
