Great mark Fritta. Also possibly the best quarter I've ever seen Chandler play.

That Spargo kick 😘.

Curtis is a worry. We haven't got a great match up for him.

    Spanked in the middle, spanked on the outside, 6 points in front. 

    I'll take it.

    Soft free to JVR. I’d be fuming the other way

    Happened right in front of me. Clear free. Defender knew it straight away and threw his hands up in guilt.

    Lucky North didn’t capitalise early in the qtr, Chin, Oliver, Rooter started well. 
    things changed towards the end of the qtr, we seemed to take the game on more which is lovely to see.

    Having Spargo and Salem deliver the ball inside 50 helps. Doesn't happen enough at the MCG.

    Two sitters missed in the past three minutes 🤬

    Interesting read in the Casey thread about our atrocious kicking for goal there today too.

    A couple of people saying that there's no structured goal kicking at as part of training.

    Just players having pings at goal in their own time.

    A little bewildering if true.

    Players with one disposal or less: Turner, Lever, Howes, and Jefferson with zero.

    Really missing McVee and Windsor (amongst others of course).

    That could have been a catastrophic 3 way injury to Fritta, Jeffo and Roo!

    dodged a bullet.

    Mistakes, poor pressure and woeful kicking for goal and we still finished the quarter ahead. 

    Only need a 5% lift and we’ll blow this out of the water.

    Rivers, Petracca, Gawn, Langdon all having shocking games. Four elite players who could turn up and give us a huge boost.

    JVR misses a chest mark then missed one from 25m?

    Terrible. He got a great block from a teammate.

    Jefferson is like the baby of Watts and Weideman. Not great.

    Looks hurt here, hope he's ok, but honestly subbing him out wouldn't be there worst.

    Don't worry Pickett will kiss it better...

    Luckily the umpires are favouring us

    Trac one contested touch and terrible kicking

    We have plenty of improvement to come!

    Just in case anyone forgot why Spargo is in the team and why we’ve missed him and someone like him, that pass into 50 to Langdon (?) is perfect evidence. 

    Lowers the eyes, skilled, smart.

    Nice pass by Salo at the end, too.

    Better end to the game hopefully we run off from that. Nice to see Fritter on the board, too. 

    Let’s go!!! 🔥

    Gawn in for a hard days work with Xerri. Becoming a great ruckman and the next generation. Who will win? Love it

    What was the reason for the First Quarter being so long, i can only follow scores on here today?

    Yes but both take too long to get the ball moving. But agree  position kicks into F50 help

    • 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.
