No.!   Our problem is the midfield use of the ball,  Oliver s crucifying his teammates with irresponsible use.

He starts the panic ball rolling, once he dishes it off.

Spot on.  Some fool on here will blame Joel Smith for the smother goal, however, under no pressure Oliver handballs it on his shoelaces and the defensive forwards of Richmond thrive on that type of error.

    That Boulter has marked everything against our undersized forward line. Wake up to yourself Goodwin. We need another tall forward.

    [censored] off our coach is [censored] can't come up with a decent game style, can't develop talent, can't develop skills, can't develop leadership. EVERYTHING IS WRONG WITH GOODWIN!

    And Daniher, and Bailey and Neeld and Roos, it is like a broken record on here

    The players need to be made accountable

    Bolta the new Rance?‍♂️

     

    Good thing we move the ball do quickly so all our tall forwards can make the most of it.

    Ohhhh wait....

    Goodwin does not seem to have made any positional changes of any players all season. Just sits on his hands on game day. Absolutely pathetic.

    Geez, Viney straight to the tall defender again

    BOG for Richmond he’s been, Viney that is. 

    Viney is done as a Mid.  Sorry but he rarely, if ever, connects with a forward coming inside 50.  Too many dumb bomb turnovers.

    Every time Petracca gets it we get a goal.

    Petracca hold your head up. The rest, go take your heads for a dump. 
     

    Edit: Hibberd as well, he’s been good.

    Guess GWS was happy for Tomlinson to go. Horrible footballer.

    TMac, May, Hibberd, AvB at least tried that quarter.

    They were pretty happy to see Frost, Bugg and Tyson go too, funnily enough.

    And whose job is it to do that mate? The coach that made no changes & no moves.

    What has happened to May’s kicking?

    One of the great mysteries. Just like our performance in the first two finals in 2018 ?‍♂️

    I agree and been highly critical, but he wins it out of the middle and then has no tall to go to

    • 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.
