Mind blowing that Petty is not playing VFL, dude can’t read ball drop, slow, weak, blames others when caught out of position. Drop and trade him while he’s got any trade capital in him.

    This doesn’t make sense nor does dropping him against Fremantle

    Goodwin backs his program, the problem is we are 0-5 with a totally DELUSIONAL coach that has overt grandios opinions of his ability that he has a master plan! Sorry his time has come and gone with 1 lousy flag to show for it! Nup not buying!

    “1 lousy flag” has to make it into the Demonland “hot takes” Hall of Fame.

    I’m having a good chuckle to myself imagining demons supporters crying tears of joy after waiting a lifetime to see the Dees make it to the pinnacle of the sport and you’re just like “who cares it’s one lousy flag!”

    It wouldn’t be his only entry in the hot takes, in similar fashion to Jeremy Howe regularly featuring in mark of the week. Every week he provides comedy gold

    Fritsch is gone, who to blame for this loss?

    Relax, Sparrow is still there

    Actually I wouldn’t have minded if they gave Sestan a game this week - omit Melksham. Sestan needs to be given a chance.

    Actually I wouldn’t have minded if they gave Kynan Brown a game this week - omit Spargo. (Spargo had 1 tackle and 4 missed tackles last week ). Kynan Brown knows how to tackle and needs to be given a chance.

    Both or either of these changes would have been okay by me

    You could have dropped plenty of other players. Perhaps it is a little too late. Freo to win , Goody to get sacked surely !!!!

    He probably means one “lousy” flag because most of us didn’t get to see that one flag, and won’t have the opportunity to see one anytime soon.

    It’s not always about who replaces them. Viney doesn’t warrant a game atm, that’s the statement I’d make. Give Culley a run.

    100% agree, and that was my underlying point.

    I just don't understand how after all the outrage about certain players getting a game, there is now even more discontent about who replaces them when they are dropped

    We have to field 22 players. If we are going to drop guys like Fritsch, JVR, Petty, Viney, Sparrow, Rivers or Spargo it shouldn't be a surprise that inexperienced players from the 2's will be coming in.

    I read this a lot.

    First of all, if you think the flag was "lousy", I can't help you - that's on you. It was, for me and I dare say the majority of Melbourne supporters, the complete opposite.

    But out of interest, how many of us do you think would have actually got a ticket to the G on Grand Final day?

    I personally didn’t find the flag to be “lousy” but it’s lousy to think many of us missed the flag live and at the same time cannot see any prospect of seeing one in the short to medium term.

    In answer to your question, I would say 22,000 MCC members (there is purported to be about 24,000 MFC supporters in the MCC), 1,000 AFL members, 16,000 club members and a number of supporters that would’ve scored via the corporate allocation.

    Plenty.

    I reckon he probably had just on half a match tops Roost.

    He did a few very good things but it wasn't a serious hit out and he was off and on a fair bit also.

    He needs more time imv both for his own sake and i would guess for the FD to take a good look and asses where he's at physically and in a form sense etc.

    Really hope he comes on quickly also. Could be a beauty

    What a silly call from this poster calling Fritsch a 0% chance of getting dropped this week.

    Of course he’s going to get dropped after his best game of the year and kicking a goal that electrified the side for a few rare minutes.

    Who do you put in to the midfield instead..? There’s nothing there..

    A statement was made, on players that we all acknowledge were out of form. At least the midfield will have something new to kick to, maybe it’s the spark.

    If you can't mark the ball when the midfielders do get the ball to you, then you should be dropped.

    • 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.
