I said we have average footballers in our team after last weeks game.

I'd take average footballers right about now.

Bereft of skill and confidence. Swans are gonna breeze this in.

    Has Tracc been on much or at all this quarter?

    Little to no impact, we should also start looking for a replacement for Hibberd. Will be painful if Jones goes another season, and he will.

    Another wicket UK out 2 for 60

    Meanwhile it's been a snoozefest at the footy. Watch Sydney score a quick 2 goals after this pathetic arm wrestle

    The most worrying thing for me is not that we keep losing, but that we don’t look even remotely like we are building anything for next year.

    It’s been exactly the same since the PF last year. That is what concerns me

    I honestly can't see where our improvement can possibly come from next year with this bunch.

     

    New coach?

    Our f50 entries are just excruciating 

    Do we even want to give ourselves a chance of kicking a goal?

    Because we accept players “did some nice things” as opposed to “tore the game apart” or “changed the course of the game”.

    We give the opposition every chance .

    A true bottom of the ladder side.

    And that sums it up, but by all means blame the coach

    This is simply disgusting.  The panic, keystone cops fighting over the same ball.  I cannot believe how poor this team is, in all aspects and phases.  What a bunch of losers

    1/ There will be no expectation.

    2/ It couldn’t be as bad again, surely.

    3/ No excuses accepted re delayed preseason. 

    4/ Confidence could not be any lower.

    • 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.
