Very poor conditions for our two games up here. Very poor scheduling by the afl. Muppets

Yeah, sure.  
Haven’t watched much, but were our opponents playing at a different time to us?  Could explain a lot.  ???

We are so bad at supporting teammates. Shepherd, blocks, remonstrating....just non existent 

No heart

Don’t disagree that we have been outplayed. But if you read my post I was saying that no team should’ve played in Cairns in September. Woeful conditions on both games. 

2 sides went up there and did the job

We didn’t

    Vanders always misses these shots

    Nothing has gone right today. Vanders kicking goals included ?


    I'd say we're headed for another rebuild, and we need to recruit some talent...

    ... But seriously who the hell would want to come to us? We're a basket case, the culture is broken and we can't be bothered even doing the basics.

    I dont think I have seen a slower team. What in the world happened? We look so weak and tired.

    But not this time ?

    Good to see VB pumped after that kick trying to lift the others. Shame so many are deflated and pea hearted.


    We have 2 more years of this garbage game plan ... if Goodwin has any sympathy for the members & supporters he should resign as what’s occurring is a  disgrace & embarrassing

    Tell me, why does Goodwin move to the bench for the last 10 min? What purpose does it serve. Pick the box or pick the bench and stay there.

    For the 2nd time in 2 weeks we play a bottom 5 side and get comprehensively outcoached  outclassed and well beaten.

    Good job Simon. If you had any integrity you would resign straight after this game.

    And don't forget 2017 v collingwood who were 14th. We didn't lay a tackle inside the first 20 minutes we anted the win so bad.

     

    FFS it infuriates me!!

    he doubled the [censored] down on the game plan after the Eagles loss in 2018, Even after last year continues to double down on the game plan. this game plan does not win [censored] games let alone finals!!

    We bring in new coaches and move deck chairs on the Titanic. How can he keep selling hope to the players. these two weeks tell me he has lost the players. EVERYTHING ON THE LINE, and not even a whimper. are the boys a bit tired? who the [censored] cares? not me!!

    The dockers have had how many shots at goal? tells me the midfielders and  forwards are not doing what they should, lazy [censored]!!

     

    apologies for the swearing

    My kingdom for a [censored] small forward 


    You can't play AFL football when you're as weak at the contest as Fritsch is.

    • 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? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?
