We should be sitting on 65+ right now. 40 ahead.

We are still lacking one, just one, dangerous Key Tall up forward.

Petty doing his bit but he ain't no KF.

Turner doing very well down back but i'd still like to see him up forward at some stage to see how he goes in a swap with Petty. Maybe an opportunity next week against the aints?

Gee i'm lovin this doof at the G. So makes me wanna keep coming back 🤮

    Frisch,Petty & AJ need to lift & take a mark.

    Agree, but Petty is at least getting it to ground, not letting it rebound out.

    AJ. Not sure. Love the intensity, but not sure he's bringing much else.

    If I haven’t lost 10 years of my life watching us kick for goal, then at a minimum I’ve lost 8.

    Please learn to kick goals. I beg of you.

    Gee your all a bit tough on Spargo, doing a lot better than you think. Not all about stats.

    Yep.

    I just don't get why. It's been an issue for years.

    I mean you can't fault our tackling and chasing. But I wish the club got a team of Vienna Psychiatrists in and sorted it out.

    We have worried Swans players and forced errors all day only to fuzz it all up.

    Training this week is nothing but goal kicking work and some deep hypnosis and counselling.

    As Jung said to one of the first members of AA, the only thing that will cue you is a "vital spiritual experience". Can we pick Prevost up in the mid-season draft?

    Outside of aggression AJ offers nothing

     

    If you told me before the game we'd be 22 points up at half time I would have said fantastic.

    But watching miss after miss& I still don't know whymax would handball it off to melksham at that point.

    just need 2 goals and they are done

    Any danger of kicking a drop punt instead of this round the corner [censored] on the non dominant foot?

    Yep 100% agree woeful, wasteful and pathetic!

    I think he played Baseball. But I'll take anything. Even supplications to a higher power.

    Hopefully we have a good soccer training session this week to improve our goal kicking

    Aside from the general frustration, we quite obviously need percentage. If we win this we go to 11 and a win next week puts us in 10th behind freo, who has much better percentage. It’s a long season and position right now does not matter too much, but it WILL matter at some point. A 30 point win (presuming we win today), vs a 60 point win is a big difference, especially if you can string a few together.

    Let’s go boys, take that first half energy and momentum and turn it into some big early scores in the second half.

    It’s so frustrating watching a team do so much right but not capitalise on its opportunities. Hopefully we can convert better in the second half.

    Seems to struggle reading the ball.


    Time to move on from Choco and bring in a goal kicking expert. It has been our weakness for years yet we don’t make any changes.

    Absolutely and what a difference it makes. If he wasn't killing it everywhere, I'd move him to the fwd line.

    Do you know who the sub is please..can they kick goals... and is is it time?

    And Bergoglio was a more than handy soccer player.

    • 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.
