    Unfortunately this went exactly as predicted

    Our draw flattered us

    We are a 4-8 ranked side, not top 2

    The unevenness of the comp didn’t do us any favours, doesn’t help prepare for tough games like this

    Incredible strike rate.

    9 goals 2.

    If it were 7 goals 4.....

    Lions hold in every contest and never a whistle.

    It just comes down to finishing they can we can’t quite finish off our good work but they got those last two goals by hitting up loose targets.

    Are we sure Bannan and Fritta aren’t related? 😂

    I bet if Brisbane finished above us this game would have been played on their ground. Get stuffed AFL.

    And if it was at Casey and we played like we are today, we still would have lost; other than our first quarter, we’ve played incredibly poor footy.

    Kate Hore is just an incredible footballer.

    Lions the better team. Midfield killed us and their accuracy.

    Proud of the girls.

    Geez I hope Goldy and Zanks and Chaps are back next week.

    We have a much younger side overall and it showed a bit today. They will be much better for experiencing a hard finals game and with continued smart recruiting, especially with running mids, I’m very optimistic for our future. Put Chaplin, Purcell, Zanker and Goldie in today and may have been quite different.

    better team won

    no complaints

    valiant effort but we are just not at their level particularly when we are down key personnel

    still got crows or saints to look forward to next week. hopefully we can get some injured players back and win the game

    go dees

    Brisbane injury free, Demons missing 6-7 of best 23!

    That’s your difference!

    Fair bit of truth in this - we have some very good players and a few today that frankly are not going to deliver the MFC a premiership. Desperately need to get some best 22 soldiers back for the next game

    Be interested to know who our strength and conditioning coach is. Brisbane look yards quicker and covered the ground so much better. We look like we were running in quicksand.

    Bannan has lost yards of pace. Other players we recruited because of their athletic profile look anything but athletic.

    In previous seasons we have had speed and could go the distance but were not as physically strong as your Crows, Lions and Roos. Have we focussed on bulking too much. To me we look unfit.

    Those three free kicks in front of goal in the second were killers too, but yeah. Personnel.

    I don't know how we're going to talk our way around Zanker getting a run next week.

    Did I say I hate Davidson?

    Doesn’t help when you lose your leading goal kicker early either. Injuries at the wrong time of year hurts as well.

    Our shots and forward connection don’t help the cause

    Could be a by product of a flawed competition when you don’t play all the teams once, how many top 8 teams did we beat??

    Let’s hope we don’t have another straight sets exit to equal the men’s x 2

    goal 1 - Taylor knocked it out of bounds under no pressure. obviously insufficient intent

    That's true but the ball got to Taylor because Gillard was ridden in the back.

    Sliding door moments, that was one.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
