Viney murdered that stoppage and then almost pinged inside 50. 

Got sucked in when we already had one at the ball and then got done on the outside. Dumb play.

Vanders. I’ve never loved a player more who can’t kick to save himself.

    Can’t take our foot off, Collingwood won’t roll over. 

    Rain by half time. Need to get 4 or 5 goals up this quarter.

    Why? It should’ve been paid holding the ball.

    Vanders is a beast


    Victim of Vanders the steamroller.

    Sort these centre clearances out and Vanders tough as nails.

    Jesus. Hope he’s ok. Looks awful. 
    Vanders is a god damn machine. 

    Why isn’t that vanders’ free?

    front on contact. 

    doesn’t deserve to be knocked out but the rule is there to avoid these instances

    Feel for the Pies player - head hits Vander's elbow then first part of body to contact the ground.  Hope he pulls up okay.

    I guess that’s why Vanders is in the team. 

    Mihicheck won’t come back on. 

    Yep fantastic endeavour

    Is Joel Smith injured? Surely he'd do a better job up front than 2020 Tmac.

    Now THAT is why we have Vanders in the team. Impact personified.

    • 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.
