Hahahaha!!! So true. 

How we are only 9pts behind is a miracle

9 down with that sort of sloppy [censored] is amazing. One of the worst quarters we have played all year. Can’t get near it. I miss the days when we had 90 inside 50s for 3 behinds. It beats having 100 against you!

    9 points is flattering

    Cmon Goodwin and Jennings, get them switched on and focussed to play on our terms

    Brilliant Clarry.

    Jones’ form just isn’t improving. Worrying signs. Needs to be moved behind the ball ASAP.


    Considering the team we have on the park, we’re doing ok and can still get better tonight. Going to be almost impossible to make finals without Viney and Hibbs back next week, which they are not. 

     

    Jesus -  jones is playing like a 40 year old.   

    Salem Lacks footy smarts....

    forward line actually looks dangerous when we enter


    It's the bizzaro world game opposition dominate inside 50 and contested ball and we score everytime we go inside 50

    O Mac Bog for me in that Q.  Never beaten 1:1. Would be a lot worse without him

    He seems to be playing a very outside role. Sitting of packs, but it's not coming out to him


    Annoying once again we haven’t come switched on from the start, Jones awful and just jogging around forward of the ball, Oliver and TMac look ominous, Hogan and TMAC still flying for the same marks

    I actually thought that you could see what OMac will become, in a couple years with a bit more strength, in that quarter.


    i weirdly have a good feeling about this game, despite our worst qtr this year.. i reckon we'll get the win in a canter. #insane #delirious

    I believe, rather ironically, that by focusing on the classic one week at a time, the challenge before us it will give our coaching staff the ability to focus on the longer term.

     

    Funny game...

    yep, simple and funny.

    Sometimes too much want and desire in the players can spoil the results.  Taking the eyes off the object, ball, or the game this week.

    Crows walking it out of our forward line.

    This will be a bloodbath.

    Rare example of where we’ve been completely outplayed and should be further behind behind but the other teams failed to make us pay. 

    We started to come back into the game at the end but we’ve been sloppy, very sloppy. 

    Side note, as soon as the commentators started talking up TMac’s set shot ratio I knew he was going to miss it, I just kept saying “shut up!!!”

    The moment on the hbf when Jones handballed to Oliver who has two crows near him and Jones stood there, didn’t shepherd, didn’t run to make an option, just stopped as Clarry slammed it on his boot...

    its bizarre. He looks disillusioned

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
