    This is a blend of 2012 Neeld and 2014 Roos era football. We will finish bottom 4. Bookmark that [censored].

    What happened to the free for disabling the player after the dispose of the ball ? Hannan handballed then was taken out. No wonder TMac was caught when he had no one to assist

    We've been terrible but the umpiring is so inconsistent and one sided.

    The down field before from Rivers and the throw from Martin earlier. So inconsistent. 

    We are in a place called no man's land and there is no way out.

    Melk should have been dropped, he's half the player he was.

    Smith just a basketballer.


    Hibberd has actually been good since coming back into the team

    Tomlinson is just not a relief ruckman. 

    Yep. You’d hate to play Weideman.

    Can we please agree that Smith needs to go and Oscar deserves a game as we need an actual defender?

    I can't agree.  He is getting to contests that Oscar would never get near.  We need to see what he can become. 

    Reiwoldt only has 1 goal and isn't hurting us with his 9 posessions.

    We already know what Oscar is and he has reached his ceiling.

    This isn't the backline's fault.

    Hibberd probably playing his best game in 2 years.

    May has also done a solid job on Lynch after considering a couple of shots at goal early.

    • 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.
