    Enough Is enough. This is junior football stuff right now. Clarry will get named in our best but the story of his game is much different 

    Deadset anyone who names him in the best is a [censored] idiot.

    Oliver gets dropped. Make it happen. 

    Richmond on one leg in the last quarter.  Goodwin will still say the last quarter was a positive.

    They need to drop Oliver or play him in the forward pocket 

    I actually said the same thing last week he looks jaded in the guts gone backwards.

    The lack of urgency from our players. That kick from Oliver. What a disgrace. He has gone completely backwards. 
     

    4 down on the bench. They are running all over us.

    He literally lay down on May's back.

    Umpires were as bad as our skills today.

    They have 3 on the bench. Stuffed and we still stuff it up 


    Umpiring been to Richmond's favour soft frees allowed to throw.

    So that goal from Lynch was Goodwin's fault, right?

    Ultimately? Yes.

    His game plan allows super quick kicks to come into our defence.

    He picked Smith when he clearly isn't ready.

    Clayton Oliver? Jack Viney? Jake Melksham? Jake Lever? Christian Salem? Tomlinson? Simon Goodwin? All auditioning for string quartet on the SS Titanic.


    When the story of this match is written lets not forget they didn't have a bench in the last

    Terrible kick from Oliver before but he's not the problem. The commentators on Fox and 7 have gunned for him all day. He's won a heap of contested possessions.

    Agree MFM. He's got huge tickets on himself and is just about our laziest player. He could be a much better footballer, but he chooses not to be.

    He's smoking his own sweat, or something else because he looks ramshackle and off his tree.

    Get Clarkson. That’s what the $mill before Christmas ? needs to be

    Otherwise we continue to be nothing

    • 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.
