    Who have we got since Langdon that has been successful, I can’t recall any?

    Agree wholeheartedly 'Red'

    I am terrified of what the Pies will do to us on KB. I haven’t been able to watch them play since that terrible violent act by that thug against Gus.

    I am in the unfortunate situation being married to a passionate Pies supporter who will expect me to either go to the game with him or watch it together on the TV.

    Like you I can't even watch the filth on TV, let alone go to any of their matches.

    AJ suspended. That’s two suspensions in, what, 5 games? I get that aggression is his thing, but if he can’t control it then it’s useless to us, and therefore so is he.

    JVR replaces him. I don’t care that Jefferson kicked more goals in the VFL, JVR’s the better prospect and can take AJ’s ruck minutes.

    Sharp to be dropped for Viney if fit. If Viney not fit, find someone else to take Sharp’s spot. Give Laurie at least one full game before we drop him (likely for the final time, tbh).

    Lever needs to find form pretty soon. We can’t keep TMac in the VFL in the form he was in if Lever isn’t playing just as well.

    Why play Laurie if we are going to drop him for the final time?? I've seen enough of him to know he won't make it!

    I think it’s time that Windsor learns his backman trade at Casey , or he gets moved to the wing, because he has little idea how to play his current role. Personally I’d have him on the wing.

    Time for Sestan to take over his role in the backline. He has consistently performed in the role at Casey and his kicking is exceptional - time to see what he’s made of.

    I personally also think he won’t make it but it’s poor list management and leadership from the FD to never give him the chance to prove us wrong.

    5-6 weeks ago TMac was leading a couple of defensive stats across the league. Can’t remember which ones as I’m not big on stats. Two weeks later he was dropped for Lever. Last week Disco was ranked the no.1 defender for the last five weeks. Regardless I’d play him forward as he can take a contested mark and is a reasonable set shot for goal.

    I hope Melksham is ok.

    AJ out for obvious reasons and he can't kick.

    Laurie out. Not out best sub choice.

    Lever out because that's two games now back with zero influence.

    Ins..Jvr... some guy in the seconds and maybe a mate of mine down the street.

    And maybe some goal kicking practice until their feet hurt.

    Sounds OK 🧀🍷👍

    People are going to freak out but we missed Spargo yesterday. Sharp is a sub and no more. May and Lever are at the end, yes May’s game got better after quarter time but he moves like an 80 year old. Smart by Ross to drag Windsor deep, I bet you even he didn’t think they’ll get 3 cheap goals out of it. That rushed kick for goal by Koz is really inexcusable for an AFL player. We weren’t set up and they went coast to coast with ease. I thought Marshall was excellent. If we’re loading then I find that ridiculous. AJ actually had a pretty good game but he’s going to get suspended again.

    Honestly can’t see us getting within 6 goals of the Pies.

    but really - just as long as Lever has spell at Casey

    Lever was terrible at AFL level, TMac was terrible at VFL level. Wrong lever to pull.

    • 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.
