    our set shot goal kicking is ATROCIOUS

    It costed us games last year and looking the same this year.

    is that petty playing? that hair cut is a shocker

    brown is a lovely mark (and gets away with push in the back) but can't kick a set shot to save himself - 0 goals 4 from set shots today?

    It's a Casey fill in wearing the #30 guernsey.


    Lockhart and Melksham playing very well. Brayshaw is rusty.

    I think Gus expected Spargo to be close enough to handball to. Spargo was ball watching and Gus has a bad elbow.

    95% sure Kossie just floated as he took that mark.

    Beautiful to watch!

    my god brayshaw is slow

    he's no different to tyson - slow to use it, poor kick, okay tackle

    He gone done holding the ball, playing like he would in an AFL game. He got it wrong footed then turned to give the handball back to the guy who should have been running past, but there was no one there. Being fairly harsh with the comparison to Tyson there wwsw

    Spargo is looking better than last week.I havent seen much of Jordan yet, hope to see him get involved.

    I've been impressed (in little bits I've been able to watch) in general with the overlap play, guys kicking/handballing then following up the immediate play. It hasn't always worked and some of the skills aren't great, but that shows better intent of ball movement even without our best players.

    Thought Spargo looked ok last week, just didn't finish that well - is his finishing better today?


    Gus had been quiet. And rusty.

    Baker has been good with some run and dash on the wing. More game time and i can see him playing senior footy soon.

    Spargo has been good.

    Pickett has had around 7 touches of the ball and already kick 0.2, he'll play round 1.

    Melksham has been BOG

    Geez we are bloody spoiled these days. Only a couple of years back we would have been relying on a "Lander at the game relaying updates via phone for a mate to post.

    Great that we can see our kids in action live and free.

    Anyone know the names & numbers of the casey players?  One of them is in #17...

    He's done some nice things. The intercept mark was very good.

    We haven't had Kossie's pressure in the forward line for a very long time. He's worth a couple of goals a game even without touching the pill.

    I thought he wasnt good last week. This week he is running to the right spots - mainly. Holding marks and kicking accurately. generally being quite good. he couldve been there for Gus when Gus was looking for a HB target, though.

    11 scoring shots to 5. That's 6 more, with 5 of them being quite simple set shots. I know it's only a practice match, bit I'm quite disapointed with that. We need to improve our accuracy for the season proper or we'll lose a few games off our own boot.

    Poor kicking skills is our biggest issue IMO.

    • 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.

      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.
