Another tough game ahead for the Demons at a time when they need to win every game to make the finals.

    10 out of 10 for effort and application that half.

    you would think the Crows superior fitness and brute strength will see them home in the second. They have been very wayward though so you never know.

    Hanks Hore and Bannon been very good. Gall has done well also

    That holding the ball was a square up for the 50 they missed.

    2 points to 1.5 in a half of footy. Not exactly the most exciting type of footy being played atm.

    We don’t know how to score, whilst the Crows can’t find the big sticks

    We got the rub of the numbers, but there were still a lot that I thought were shocking. 50s not paid when colliding with a player taking a kick, and when holding the ball and arguing with the umps instead of giving it straight back. The "insufficient intent" against Fitzsimon was a shocker too. 

    The overall standard of umpiring is very poor if this is the next best umpiring squad outside of the AFL umpiring squad.

    Bizaycomment for mine. Might have been low scoring but it was an enthralling battle around the contest that was only a kick away from a lead change the last 2 quarters. As a spectacle, it was hard to look away. Every moment, every contest counted.

    • 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.
