Wondering how many possessions ANB & Tracc have had after quarter time?

 

Clearance work is disappointing to the extreme. One of the most one sided performance I’ve seen in a while against us. Very concerning when the only mid missing is Viney.

    uninspiring.

    If we lose this, it'll all be on the mids/clearances. Getting killed.


    They keep waltzing it out of the middle. Luckily we have a Lever and May shaped wall in front of our goals, otherwise Freo would be on top.

    I thought he’d have a massive one today given how “angry” he was over the off season and the fact the he’s playing on a debutant.

    It's been going downhill for 3 years, but we've lived with this falsehood that we have this amazing contested footy team.

    Anb had 8 disposal in the first quarter. 

    Since then he's had 1...

    They seem to be setting up to get behind us and push it forward.....what ever it is we have changed nothing and need to

    If I hear after the game, “we were unhappy to get beaten in the contest, we pride ourselves on that” I’m gonna vomit.

    We have no reason to be proud of it. None.

    Brayshaw hasn’t taken one centre bounce. He’s been on the wing all day 

    Still hasn't impacted. Turns it over under zero pressure. 

    We have an AA ruckmen against a rookie who can't impact. Winning taps. But zero impact. 

    We are shocking.

    Nothing to do with what's going on in the box.

    Exactly. We know how teams are going to play our midfield, they even say it in interviews, they force us under the ball and spread away, yet we never seem to try anything to combat that.

    James Jordan. BOG. 

    Im with you. He's leading the others. Woefully slow forward line.

    Is Goodwin the right guy? ?

     

    Petracca is a class above. Worrying signs.

    • 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.
