Yeah we’re in massive trouble. Gawn literally stood and watched a player run past him then.

And people think he is a leader.

Viney at least seems to give a [censored]. What is a Max doing to change the game? SFA. He is a faux captain.

    Goody should use the second half to write a resume.

    Our season might over in a hour or so, and so should be his coaching career if this continues.

    Gonna need a Lazarus-like comback to win this from here.

    44 plays 16 and we dont look like it. Against the 16th placed team.

    Un-[censored]-forgivable

    Who cares....

     

    this is one of the most disgusting performances these players have served up. Worse than Port Adelaide debacle. We would be even more embarrassed in a final

    Smith Macdonald Tomlinson say no more and people rate this team. Delusional

    add Jones & Wagner to that.

    And the other 17 out there today

    Yuck.

    This is why teams need to be all go from the first bounce. Give a side a sniff and they will take it, regardless of where they sit on the ladder. Just [censored] lazy football.

    I love it that we come out and repeatedly said that the short breaks are no big deal and that we are prepared for it.

    Well... Based on the evidence we are the worst prepared club at dealing with them.

    What a disgraceful first half, let alone 2nd qtr.

    No moves from the coaches box.

    How OMac retained his spot was ridiculous

    Jones is finished

    Hope we don’t make finals. We’ll be humiliated. Plus it’ll ensure Goodwin gets another year. I don’t want that, thank you.

    And yet people want to keep supporting the witches hat in the box. 

    He has lost me now completely. Didn’t come to play, whose fault. Poor selection again, whose fault. Bennell can’t get in this side because we are just so good. No skill, no pace, no heart. Pathetic.

    HAHAHA ???

    The Fritsch handball.

    The Petracca kick.

    The Smith handball.

    The unaccountability.

    Is this team for real?  This is so embarrassing to watch.  

    There's only one team in the AFL that can build you up and let you down so religiously.  Don't even bother with finals pls.  We'll be embarrassed....again.

    Wow.  Putrid/. No skills, no effort, no tackles, no nuthin!  If we dont change something at half time, this is looking like the Port game


    The Simon Goodwin era has to end, if he can't instill a ruthless attitude to this team that allows them to back up week after week, time to find someone who can. 

    his selections have cost us at least 4 games this year, this effort is not AFL standard. Casey would be more competitive than this. 

    Season over, time for heads to roll, full external review. i've been off Goodwin for a while now, but this is beyond a joke. 

    we're only every going to be mediocre under Simon Goodwin

    I rarely venture onto the GAMEDAY threads during the live action but how can I not with that [censored] [censored]?

    Nathan Jones, go have a shower son. You’re done. Forever. Oscar McDonald, you are a joke. 

    Finals gone on the back of being towelled up by 16th placed side and Justin McInerny, FFS you can’t write this [censored]. Wait we can. 2016 and Dylan Buckley. My goodness. What a club.

    Goody should hand in his resignation and not come out after half time.

    He can take the likes of Smith, OMAC, TMAC, Harmes and Jones with him.

    OKAY, I'VE TRIED TO BE NICE BUT THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. NO STRONG TACKLING, DROPPING MARKS ETC ETC, NO DESIRE. 

    PLAYING SMITH HAS DISRUPTED THE BACKLINE. THE EXPERIMENT IS OVER. IF THE PLAYER IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH THEY DON'T PLAY. NO MORE CHARITY PICKS.

    OUTSMARTED BY A SMART SIDE. SYDNEY ARE SMART AND WANT TO WIN NO MATTER WHERE THEY ARE ON THE LADDER.

      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.

      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.
