These odd missed-handballs/kicks from ANB, Brayshaw, Harmes, and Tyson have killed us.

 

Tyson given a golden opportunity on a platter and kicks it straight to an Eagles player......did the same last week against the Swans.....

 

GET HIM OFF!!!!!!!!!!   LIABILITY

    Rodney King has taken far better kicks than our Forwards.

    Absolutely dominated the second half of that quarter. How Trac doesn't make the distance from 40 out amazes me. Need to start really putting scoreboard pressure on or else they will run over the top of us

    Should Haves........

    Jones for an easy snap shot 30 out.

    Tracc from 40 doesn't make distance

    Weids should have at least scored from 35 out....

    Tyson given an easy on the run goal from Clarry

    2.2 goals (at least) gone by the wayside.....sees the score 62 / 34  ...nearly double their score...but instead they're still right in it

    I feel like we should be at least 1 goal further in front to accurately reflect our performance.

    I wonder if this heat will hurt us. I doubt it; we're 1 man up and we're a very fit side. It's all about composure now; can we defend our lead playing controlled, smart footy.

    A final awaits if we can.

    To be fair... West coke misses a few easy set shots early in the quarter. 

     

    It's not just Tyson. He did a couple bad kicks or handsballs, but so did Brayshaw, Jones, Harmes, and ANB.

    Everyone needs to clean up just that little bit.

    Our final execution is killing us.

    • 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.
