He's had a great last quarter as has the team.

Really cool game of footy

It has & the bonus is we beat essendon

 

A very encouraging 4th quarter for Kalani, this should give him a lot of confidence going forward.

He looks like a keeper.

Some nice taps in the ruck.

Really solid mark and goal by Jeffo.

He's had a great game

Runs like his dad. Good to see Jeff playing again

 

Good to take the marks and kick the goals, but loved Kalani chatting to Lauri before a ball up and then tapping it straight down his throat. Kid's got tap skills

Gotta think this will be a close one.

Really disappointed with our hacking kicks out of defence last quarter.

I reckon we're kicking to the scoring end this quarter and we need to be 3 goals up at 3 QTR time to hold this.

Is there a a bit of a breeze to that end?

Not even an ounce of breeze all night. Perfect conditions just cold. Great last quarter

Another example tonight of the common occurence in football games where a team will jump their opponents in the first quarter, have the other team claw back the deficit then run out of steam in the last with the final margin similar to what it was at quarter time.

Kalani showed enough to make me think he definitely has a future at AFL level. Choose wisely young grasshopper. Choose Melbourne!

Glad I posted that I'd been underwhelmed previously when watching Kalani😊

Fantastic to see that performance.

The highlight for me was Verral coming of age in the ruck. He played a great game and has learnt from Max to pluck the tap and kick the ball. Kalani's last quarter was fantastic. 2 goals a few marks and some great taps. Don't show too much form, otherwise the other buzzards will put an early bid in on him.

7 goals 2 to 2 goals 1 in the last quarter was super

stats as follows:

i mostly saw the second half but i thought el jefe looked like 'the man' as the target i50 while cross was superb at ground level i50

laurie's last quarter was huge

bonner stated in the post game interview that he is the manager of our nga, maybe thats why he didn't get picked up in the mid season draft and likes what he is doing now.


Highlights for me were Kalani White, Jeffo & Verrall. Love seeing the big men play well and it gives us hope at AFL level post Gawn, and for marking forward inside F50.

Jeffo played a very mature, contested game as the key focal point forward. His last few VFL matches have shown he can learn and grow.

Is my vision bad or did Kalani tap one over his head to a team mate that didn’t break stride? He looked to really grow with confidence in the last quarter. For a skinny 17 year old ruck/forward, he looks likely.

And Verrell looks to have come on in leaps and bounds when given primary ruck duty. Great ruck craft at times tonight.

He did late in the game, a great blind tap to a team mate at the centre bounce

  • 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.
