    Don't let them score


    This score can be directly attributed to Jones.

    What was that free for against Hibberd? 

    No idea. Shoulder to shoulder. Didn’t hold long enough for a Mark. 
     

     

     

    Oliver lifting.


    Jones fumbles then handballs to them

    This is a shocking watch save for the Trac and Oliver show 


    The number of times that Jackson has had to drive his own ball is terrible

    We did better on the scoreboard that term, but we aren't home.  We need to put the foot down like last week.

    However, I think we are showing better signs going forward.  We are taking more right options which is resulting in us hitting players on the lead, something we weren't doing enough of earlier in the season.

    But last term coming up but I'm backing us in to see it through.


    Jackson, Rivers, Pickett.

    Jason Taylor has absolutely nailed these picks. Jackson is going to be some player huh.

    They're down on the bench aren't they?

    Can we win a single centre clearance ?

    Did you see that Petracca goal?

     

    We're playing with 20.

    Jones and TMac are giving us absolute donuts.

    Barring a massive last quarter, neither should hold their spots. 

    The Roos stink. We should be 6+ goals up.

    The only saving grace to not being 6+ goals up is that we hopefully won't slack off in the fourth and keep working hard. When our work rate is up, the ball spends most of the time in our forward half and North struggle to score.

    Loving Oliver and Petracca's work. And Spargo is doing well.

    • 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.
