Yep. We're just one good preseason away.

    And there’ll always be next year.

    I love Gawn and I know these garbage articles are just fodder for the media and have to be done.

    But Jesus if my eyes could roll out of head while I read the same thing each pre-season, I would have gone blind years ago.

    Agree, I see a heading like that and no mater what content is in the article all I read is Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah.  I know we need content on our website and we will see many over the next 4 months, hopefully come March April we can see something to be really excited about

    Your reaction is the same as most Dees supporters.

    The trouble with those words is they sound very hollow because they have never been backed up by deeds.

    I would prefer if the messaging was different. Acknowledge past failures and shortcomings. Say we’ll let our footy do the talking when the season rolls around. Something other than the usual guff. I find it a little insulting tbh.

    Yes its fluff but I do question the value of these pieces and why they have to be published at all.

    Yeah agree, I’d actually prefer it if the club kept a bit quiet and Max just said, hopefully our actions will speak loader than words 

    Leave it at that

    I'd be happy for the club to can all the shop talk until March then drop a new documentary. Until then Max could talk about something he has a better handle on like jaffles or coffee.

    Signal in the red flags.

    The media knows exactly which club (clubs) to get outlandish delusional quotes from.

    We are the gift that keeps on giving this time of year.

    This was said to me 30 years 'Object oriented design is the way of the future and has been so for the last 10 years'.

    Not quite sure why I am sharing that.

    Anyway could I just say that I have been ready for success since 1965.  I think the team is too and if they dont get it they will go elsewhere.

    Get it right....it is inheritance taxes

    This is talking the house down in preparation for training the house down. It's like a pre-season for pre-season.

     

    Actions, Max. We're not interested in any words, unless they involve me winning Tattslotto.

    I'm glad he's positive, and he should be as there are some guys that can seriously play in our team. Time to make something of it.

    Christ this club just can’t help itself. It loves to talk and that’s about it.

    How about shutting up and just getting to work?

    • 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.
