petraccas strength awesome. I was confident in that last pack that he would get it out. Trac is important to our play

Oh come on. Watch that final play where Petracca won the ball. And ANB with 8 tackles, this is what we have been lacking the past few weeks. 

 

My three word analysis for this match is everytime you beat those bastard Hawks is: 

Everyone’s a winner

 

End of Story. 

 


As one of Alex Neal-Bullen's major detractors, it seems unfair not to acknowlege that he played a good, pretty much error-free game and was a valuable contributer.  Not in the best half dozen players but not far away.

Lockhart: earned more games

Oscar Mcd: Earned Casey games

Harmes: relishes tagging duties

Tom Mcd: Hero to zero

Salem: continues consistent form

Petracca: kicking woes continue

Lewis: slow and untidy

brayshaw: untidy by foot

melksham: costly missed shot

hibberd: returning to form

kielty: 6 touch game.

garlett: missed 2 sitters. 

frost: important clutch touches

hore: terrible by foot 

gawn: contested all day

wagner: missing persons unit 

Fritsch: wasteful by foot

hunt: did his job

stretch: an important goal 

Oliver: a quiet 30.

Jones: a costly behind.

Achhh how embarrassing. Too excited! Thanks praha... Won't happen again.

Petracca’s set shot....

I keep reading about these little things Petracca does. How about the big things? Like going back and slotting a very gettable goal, he continues to miss easy set shots. How about when there’s a boundary throw in 30 metres from goal he starts 10 metres defensive side and bursts through the stoppage at pace collecting the tap from Gawn and slots one on the run. Whilst I acknowledge the small things are important in having the complete game some place too much importantance on them to divert away from the fact he is still yet to really deliver. Still very tradeable at this stage.

Trac: hypoxic set shots

Sorry, couldn’t resist. Do think he’s the type that needs to play on instinct. Over-thinking things is not his go.

Yes, very harsh.

Fritch - surprisingly bad form

It was surprising across the game, but there were good efforts and signs, as well. Still, a very good asset in the team and had some stiff opposition against whom he persisted.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • 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.
