It’s hard to take this result seriously. We are missing 6-7 of our best 22 including basically our entire midfield except Trac. 

Yes i know. But there are still so many senior players who are slow to react

    I'm patient mate, but he hasn't started well.

    Here's the thing. We have a number of good mid - fielders missing so are unlikely to win. Has our backline stood up? Yes

    PS - My patience doesn't extend to Tomlinson, who I regard as a very, very ordinary footballer

    Jetta’s disposal is woeful

    I wanted Petty in for Tomlinson this week as Tommo was so poor last week against the tiges.

    Is Lockhart or Bowey playing down back? We need to find a replacement for Jetta ASAP. He’s one of my favorite players but he’s coming to the end of his career rapidly.

    Hes finished unfortunately.  Very slow to react and he's just past it now.

    whats the free kick count?

     

    Frees now 13-6

    Tomlinson is a waste of space and we are no good without our most important player in  Clayton Oliver

    Sometimes the obvious is too obvious for some Jaded. As I said in another thread, the result is immaterial. It's about testing, resting and trying out. I'm sure we'll give it a crack however.

    • 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.
