    Sorry Sam, we’ll get back to you in a moment….

    For my money, the best version was by Them.

    More goals than Lobb and Taberner combined 🤣🤣

    True story, how good was it seeing those fakers do nothing!

    That said the problem is Lobb will likely be part of the LJ trade as Freo don’t have great picks to trade to us. So it might have been nice to see Lobb show something as a forward.

    Josh Bruce had 2 disposals against us, manned by Tomlinson for a portion of the game.

    Matt Taberner - who’s actually handy at his best - had 6 disposals last night. Felt like 2.

    There’s no way to describe a 1 possession game as good but I don’t think it was Sam’s worst

    that final sentence says it all.

    Just listened to the presser and Goody made no mention at all about Weideman?

    Yes he did, thanked the Midfielder’s including Sam

    Those holding out hope for Sam are kidding themselves. He is just not up to it.

    We in the other hand need to secure a KPF. Was watching some Of BBB last year and there is a considerable difference in output. I think his knee is cooked.

    Geez it would have been handy to snag Walker.

    What? Mate what press conference are you listening to? The only forward who got a mention was Bayley Fritsch and that was due to the questioned being asked if he was All Australian form. 

    Again, Goody never once mentions Sam's name at all and that's after I've listened to it twice. 

    What minute mark was it mentioned?

    So today he was bad, but not significantly worse than last week..... which means he was bad then as well but worse today.

    I have never seen a bar set quite so low.

    Lets hope his surname inspires Collingwood to do something stupid like offering us a late second rounder for him, because thats the best we can hope for.

    He might be a fantastic person, but he aint a key forwards bootlace.

    I think Brown would have been no better last night to be fair. I was at the game and saw Weid often more competitive in contested situations than last week. Conditions had a big say.

    Rubbish. At least BBB attacks that ball in marking contests, and makes some effort once it hits the ground. I suggest you watch the replay. Weid was not interested in making second efforts.

    His best footy is as the second ruck and to be honest he’s probably be better in that position than Jackson at the moment.

    No he’s not a shadow of LJ

    It was the first presser up on the AFL website last night. I watched it twice. Because i was in shock!!

    Maybe Goody did a take 2 and replaced it!!

    Or maybe he just didn't mention him at all? I don't think I've ever heard of a press conference having to do a take 2...

    Melbourne has too strong a list to keep giving Weid one last chance after another. Goodwin said in his presser that Brown is good to go next week.

    One change re Coll ... BBB for Weid. Thats it.  No mention  of Jackson or Lever  being injured.

    Toss Jacko into CHF see what he can  do infront of 80,000 on the G. May as well throw him to the wolves. Looks like he's going back to WA.

    If we had too strong a list, he wouldn't be getting a game. He's getting a game due to lack of tall forward options. Jackson and Max have struggled at various stages this year forward too.

    They think of Taberner over here, what we think of Weid, morning sports radio and about how quickly they need to dump him. How he had 1 okay season and hasn't performed since.   They dislike his lack of effort etc.

    The bronx cheers last night certainly explained that..

    • 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.

      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.
