    Go Dees!

    Haha fantastic work. One of my wife's go to entrée's. Won't be hoping in the pool in north east Vic... Although if we make finals a cannonball may be on the cards much to the kids delight.

    We look great today.

    Dry conditions suit our style of play.

    Bummer those two losses against Freo and Swans We’re in pouring rain and howling winds.

    Opposition who don’t bring intensity & effort suit our style of play.

    Much better 2nd quarter. Oliver kicking the ball now and is 100% efficient, viney not trying to take tacklers on and just getting rid of it, fritta kicked a goal and our backline going ok. 

    Joe Daniher statless

    Mitch Brown looks good leading up  

    Ouch!

    ANB having a cracker. He needs consistency. Do this every week son

    Yes give him credit for good play. That collect when he was going to get hit and then a lovely goal was great. Stick it up me son and become a good player, I would love it. Now keep going for the second half.

    Love watching this - to see us playing with movement, hitting targets, almost everyone contributing.

    But Essendon are dreadful. Neeld-esque. Some of their chasing and defensive efforts are embarrassing. We really can't take too much from this game so far. 

    But I m loving it. Dees thriving. Bombers annihilated.

    brown is the missing link forward so glad he is getting a go at it, the weid go at the ball son

    I wouldn't be getting too excited just yet.

    We should be far more than 28 points up. They are absolutely atrocious. But they are a confidence team and despite their defensive pressure being terrible they're still generating inside 50s and getting some looks. If they get an early goal or two, or worse, if Daniher gets his hands on the ball, we know we can concede goals.

    Fritsch's goal kicking is getting worse.

    Gawn, Oliver, Petracca, Langdon, Salem and ANB all playing really well.

    If this is our last game, Hunt, Brown and ANB are giving the club something to think about.

    When Fritta missed the target right n front of goal in the second quarter and the Essendon player ran the ball out just typifies our season to date. 
     

    HOPELESS

    Also fritta cant kick for [censored]. He needs to learn over the off season or learn in the seconds. Pathetic.

    Mitch Brown 13 possessions and 7 marks..  this guy should have been in the team all season, especially ahead of T Mac.

    Good pair of hands.

    So far so good. I can see why people have been whinging about Viney. As soon as he gets the ball we lose it.

    i dont like that hunt is playing a good game coz its so one off and then we'll be asking how he got a new contract again this time next year

    Now just need melbourne to keep on doing what they did in the 2nd quarter. Just bury them. 

    Seriously daniher not worth 2 round draft picks. He was getting beaten by joel smith. 

    Roped the dope.

    Ess, had the impression after the first, that it was all too easy.

    Now to see if ruthlessness is in our game.

    We should go on with it and win the next two quarters.

    Mids working well, the team finding space, great pressure and tackling.

    Liked that we tried a different game plan in the first and then got into our fast style in the second.

    Need to be able to switch it up during the quarter.

    Edited by kev martin

    Had a solid bet on dees over 39.

    I hope they don't showboat from here. Should be 3-4:more goals up as it is.

    Smash them redlegs

    Needs to talk to a psychologist, he is obviously pressuring/stressing, himself into poor kicking. It is a confidence issue.

    Sam Weideman handballing to Jayden Hunt for the certain goal is one of the best things I've seen in recent weeks. Weed hasn't kicked a goal in a long time and didn't need to give it. Much respect.

      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.
