Gee our last quarters leave a lot to be desired, would love to see us just smash a team in the last quarter for once. Don't think i'm off the reservation in saying that questions have to be asked about our fitness team.

nonetheless, 4 points is 4 points.

 

Also the debate is over, Max Gawn is the greatest ruckman to ever play the game.

 

Great win! Much improved performance across so many facets.

Although I think Fullarton would shirk a contest with Josh Schache

Secured the game then eased off mentally. who cares?

Our percentage pre game was 65%

This was a chance to improve. Anyway we need the next two to get off life support

I’m one of those who cares about habits. I care about %, I care about being as high on the ladder as possible. I care about Essenscum getting a lesser pick. I care about learning to stomp on teams when you have the chance.

Arrogant coaching by Goodwin for taking Gawn off.

I saw it differently dd and thought it was good to give him a rest.

Even though our last quarter was pathetic especially without Gawn we had won the game and didn’t think it was an arrogant move and I am not a goody fan.

Gee we have a knack of picking up tall forwards who have no physical presence whatsoever. Fullerton, Schache, Weideman to name a few.

 

Who were all those posters who wrote off Salem?

Are they still around?

He is so important to our back 6 and controlled the game tonight

5 day break was always going to be a factor. Reflect on that before criticising the last 10 too much


Is it mathematically possible that a win in round one in a very tight game v Gws could have seen us with other permutations allow us to be in the top 8 and if so wth?

WE ARE NOT FIT ENOUGH BODY AND MIND

Take the win, but Jeebers….

I don't know how anyone can dispute it. It felt like we laid 3 tackles in that last quarter.

Top 5 worst games of AFL footy I’ve ever seen. From a Dees perspective, we’re very very ordinary of course, but without the best ruckman the game’s ever seen, I think we might be the worst team in the league. At the moment. Things can improve no doubt. And they will. Hopefully. 71,000 at the G, and they all should feel robbed.

What are you talking about?

If we played how we played against North tonight, we would’ve lost by 100. Easily. The difference between how we’ve played against North/ESS/GC/Geelong is massive.

I care about getting a win and building. Resting Gawn for next week

Also I care about enjoying footy and enjoying a win

Richmond also had a 5 day break, in fact they had 6 hours less recovery than us.

So what your “reflections” on that?

I guess we'll find out?

Happy with the points but it's becoming a worrying trend. I dont need to bury teams every week but at least breaking even in the last would have nice.

I always have more confidence when I know our side can run out games, it gives you a chance.

A win is a win is a win though.


Kolt's decision making in traffic is very good for a guy who has played 12 games

Get him in the guts

I was disappointed Max went off, but he was heroic again tonight and needs every rest he can get.

With the game won, imagine how Goodwin would have been crucified if he had stayed on and copped an injury.

The fact is that some of his teammates need to look hard at themselves for downing tools in the final minutes.

You have NFI

 

Am I in the game day thread? Miserable bunch you lot. After five horrible losses I’m taking wins in any way shape or form at the moment. And that… was a pretty easy one.

A lot will be rightly said about Gawn’s performance but Jake Bowey being an elite AA defender wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card.

Last quarters are a worry. Fullerton is not a worry because we’ll most likely never see him again at AFL level.

Potentially 3 in a row next week and then Hawks are very gettable at the G. I’m choosing to believe! Lessgo

Why should Gawn being off the ground result in the our players slacking off their efforts?

Also what has Gawn sitting on the bench to do with some pathetic Melbourne turnovers hitting Richmond players on the chest?

  • 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.
