Van Rooyen just hasn’t looked like taking a mark tonight.

Just tonight?

    Tagging or not, three touches from an experienced player like Sparrow is not good enough.

    Hasn't looked like taking a mark for 12 months. No support around him but his marking form is horrific. At this point he needs to be tried in defense to save his career.

    How embarrassing. We are legitimately in a wooden spoon race with West Coast. 😂

    0 - 23 if we don't sack Goodwin ASAP

    What is Salem these days he can't defend and doesn't attack from half back. He is symbolic of the fall of our team

    Losing to a really, really ordinary team.

    While a win here would not have said much about where we are or what we’re capable of, but geez it would have been at least something.

    Pretty deflated.

    This chick is hot and eye candy, ngl, but useless as an umpire. I dread every time we get her for our matches. Her and Nicholls kills us all the time.

    She's the pits

    Our contested marking is almost non-existent, only 4 tonight. One a quarter?

    She's terrible and I believe a Bombers fan.

    Goodwin has lost me

    but players like trac, clarry, fritsch petty need to take a look in the mirror.

    a team with 15 premiership players should not be this bad irrespective of who the coach is. shameful effort

    Kicked our 1 goal 2 behind average for the last quarter

    Good effort that

    If Kozzie leaves we're genuinely buggered

    As opposed to him staying and still being genuinely buggered.

    10 minutes enough for Goody to say there are positives. Reality was a terrible first half and a typical last quarter fade out. Eight goals same old story. There are just signs with this team they are not engaged. Don’t forget Bombers are a seriously ordinary team.

     

    Hopefully those few Dees supporters who made the trip to Gather Round, eat up and drink at the Barossa. Make use of the weekend and drown their sorrows, thanks to the abysmal performance tonight.

    This standard just doesn’t cut it. If you can’t score in the modern game, you're not entertaining and you’re not in the game.

    • 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.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
