The fact that nearly all of the backline were in my best tells a sorry tale.  A terrible performance from our one way mids, Viney the obvious exception.  Very pleased to see Max next week.

Those giving Hibberd votes didn't notice Wallis' four goals, obviously!

Shocked to see Viney in the votes, bloke is a liability 

Eh? Not his best game by any stretch, but I thought he was our best mid today by a considerable margin. Lowered his eyes and hit up leading forwards on more than one occasion. He's having a good year.

Yes, that was in the first half. After half time resorted to playing merry-goround

Very accepting of mediocrity it seems....!

Are you fair dinkum? 24:possessions and most clearances of any player on the ground.

Yes he struggled today yes but guess what he gets points for struggling, getting to contests, getting gang tackled, forcing secondary ball ups, taking it up to the Bulldogs midfield for 4 quarters. It wasn’t pretty but what were the others doing in the midfield? Unfortunately Tracc, Oliver, Brayshaw also struggled and not for 4 quarters, they went missing for long periods and when they did get it, they didn’t capitalise.

I appreciate the efforts of posters giving votes after a poor performance but Hibberd can’t possibly go near any votes.

His opponent was the match winner and he was also poor by foot today. I’m sure he’d admit that it was one of the worst performances of his career.

Some people have been way too harsh on Hibbo for this game. He wasn't even on Wallis for the first two goals, the third goal he had to come off Wallis because otherwise Bruce would've ran onto the ball and kicked a goal, and the fourth goal was an unpressured entry and perfect kick from Bontempelli. Also people need to respect the fact that Wallis is actually a good player and has been the Dog's best forward all year.

Naughton and Bruce were nothing. 

4 Langdon 

kept running when others simply stopped

3 Viney 

his gut running and centre clearances were competitive 

2 Tomlinson 

he was steady and CHB is his position 

1 Weid 

presented well but often ignored when free 

apologies to Hibberd who actually ran and took on the game yet Wallis goals were costly

Good summary.

Wallis first goal had  Harmes on him, Last had Hibberd but was a great pass from Bont... 

Not sure about other 2, Hibberd went to get ball on Wallis snap, so 50/50, can’t remember other. Hibberd shocking pass in first quarter gave away a goal!

  • 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.

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week?
