GAWN AND VINEY CAPTAIN AND VICE CAPTAIN TO CASEY... JUST TERRIBLE

Yea it's not a good look with zero.marks for both.

Is Sparrow injured

2 touches...he must be. What happened?

As ugly as we are, we are still in it.

Some more intensity than last week.

Hell let's be honest. There was none at all last week. Full stop.

Jeez what a frustrating watch, but honestly a big improvement this week. Shame about some shocking umpiring. You can tell confidence is low, hopefully a bit of momentum will stay our way next half! Still definitely in this 💪

    Having Yze and McQualter leave one after the other can't have helped.

    This just comes down to who wants it more.

    Can most of team lift and drive themselves to our first win

    T-Mac's been VG down back.

    The injection of Turner up forward at least makes us look a tad more dangerous and offers another mobile marking option until JVR finally hits some lead up / marking form.

    Turner's mobility at ground level also brings a tad more pressure at ground level inside 50.

    Fritta's done ok as a link up HHF but still nowhere near it around goals in that first half.

    Tracc is driving this team hard you can see it both with effort and letting everyone know where they need to be at.

    Max also lifted in that quarter and even more so after the questionable free against him in our 50.

    Clarry, while not as his best is willing himself to so many contests and bringing alot of the little pressure acts to force turnover and/or get the ball moving forward / to our advantage where poss.

    If some of the lessor lights in the team and a severly out-of-form Viney can lift in this second half we might get close but wouldn't put any $$ on it.

    Not even Max can get the better of Old Father Time.

    He desperately needs the back-up ruck we haven't got.

    We have one TC who did pretty well in the preseason - but Goody too stubborn to play him.

    Been an issue from round one.

    Pass the hat and get some tape measures.

    It’s completely deliberate though. They’ve clearly been directed to call play on and they treat us like complete mugs.

    Get Fkkn angry Dees!

    call me crazy but I was just entertaining buying a last minute ticket and going to the game to witness a big upset. Yes, tickets are still $75!

    Play Fritsch out of the Goalsquare Goodwin FFS….

    Absolutely!


    I thought the floodgates were about to burst open, but credit to the boys for fighting back and squaring the quarter.

    Jack Henry out of the game with a hammy. He was causing us some problems early doors.

    Petty looks pretty hopeless, like he just doesn't care, why is he getting games?

    Henderson good, Milkshake, Chandler, Fritsch looking decent too is nice for a change.

    Less dropped marks but still some real easy ones, Gawn terrible dropped marks, JVR too but still we are looking better at least and still just in the game.

    Langford looks great and Trac and Viney too. Love Henderson getting kudos from Lyon, he's good.

    Petty though seriously, I hate to agree with Kane Kornes but he said it spot on the radio this morning you'd be wrapped if you found out Petty was the guy playing on you during a game...we can't have that!!!

    Some of that first half was horrible but we still have a sniff but we still could get flogged.

    The first goal in the 3rd will be critical to building some belief we desperately need..

    We've had a couple of very stiff "not 15" calls against us that seemed like BS, or at least they didn't call the same for Cats. They don't make it easy for us do they.

    The most disappointing part is that despite the improved effort, it's really obvious that we're completely outclassed.

    The structure, cohesiveness and decision making is just not where it needs to be. We are scoring goals through opposition errors and quick flashes of individual desperation.

    It's the same trends from 2022 after three years of devolution

    🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮umps !!!


    Have been saying for the last two years that we needed to draft a defender. Now May is clearly in decline and Petty looks [censored], while Adams is doing nothing at Casey.

     

    How do you lose the ability to tackle?

    • 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.
