Mostly agree but thought Riv was pretty good. 23 with 8 contested at 74% and 5 clearances. Max was fantastic but as you say, not quite fantastic enough. Too much left to too few.

Thought Lindsay was very good. Hawks wings aren’t mugs and he held his own and looked every bit the player I was hoping for. Won some very creative possessions.

Turner went forward and the flood gates opened for them. I like what he does up forward but until we have lever back we need him in defence.

Another great game by Gawn. Cherishing every memorable performance I get to witness now.

Windsor - ceiling rapidly lowering

JVR - not the answer

Jefferson - words not required

Tholstrup - draft position unwarranted

Langford - enhancing his reputation

Lindsay - unassuming yet reliable

Windsor was fantastic today

He killed Ginnivan and had a lot of the footy.


Fritch Never select again
Play at Casey

JVR - great backup ruck

JVR - Not a forward

JVR - only hope backline

Langford - star in making

X - incredibly clever player

Bowey - obvious connection solution

Kozzie - keep all costs

Yeah, he looks done as a player.

Lindsay had IMO the best individual effort of the season for us and it led to a goal, so I definitely noticed him.

That kid is all class. Footy IQ off the charts, so much time and space with ball in hand and super competitive for a slight player.

To think he missed a big chunk of his first pre season with a PCL injury and is able to play full games on the wing, is pretty phenomenal.

He will be a star. It was written all over him from his very first game.

Windsor - limited preseason base

He'll be ok but was gassed at the end and at his age missing key parts of preseason is going to do that to you.

Many great pretenders

JVR - use two arms!

My father always said to me as we watched the Demons from the wing on the MCG in the sixties

That Brian Dixon is never beaten one on one and is a great mark for his size

Xavier is the closest I’ve seen since those days

Great observation - has long arms like BD, though XL is a better kick and one cannot even try to compare athleticism from those days.

  • 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.
