The saints ruckman are actually paying attention to him. No easy marks behind the play

1 mark and 2 kicks is just not enough.

Did little last week.

I know he is a champ bit needs to lead by example

 

Stop talking the talk. Ml

 

Great to see us turn momentum around in the qtr very unusual for us. Lever and Tomlinson on key forwards is a worry for me. Max is looking lost at the moment, hopefully he can find his mojo quickly.

    Doing well against a good side - but still lack real class at the top end in order to finish off. Oliver is great, but Billings is dangerous, and that's the difference.

    Should be dropped after a good game! He's proven he doesn't have 2 good ones in him

    He wasn’t good!!

    Side note: Langdon is definitely a superior wingman to Hill and cost half the price. We nailed that trade!

    We have a half here to win the game, go to 2-0 and set up our season.  This is it.  The time is now. 

    There are no more excuses for Goodwin or anybody else and there are certainly no honorable losses.

    Keep two forwards in our forward half at all times, we win this game.

    First half of that second quarter we had no one one forward of 50 and it killed us.

    Viney getting caught with the ball was not his fault. He literally had nothing to go to.

    Would be hard to tell on TV.

    shame Kossie wasn't swaning by at that moment

    Calling you tmac.

    Plese dont let last week be an anomaly.

    I noticed late in the second you can hang off him in marking duels, no free but don’t try that on King. It must be an age, experience thing with the umpires. You know I always thought the rules applied equally to all players regardless of age.

    think the cab sav is killing my spelling ability.Just on the side cricket victoria is in deep trouble


    Pleased we fought back because alarm bells were ringing half way through that quarter. We don’t have enough weapons to drop off in the middle, it is our strength.

    It is Spud’s Game, but that doesn’t mean StK need to be helped to victory.

    You mean there's another team playing?

    dazzle - can you please say that Fritsch can’t kick for goal, and that umpires can’t be even handed.

    Our forwards are horrible.

    McDonald is back to his 2020 form


    Kick it to our blokes

    Stupid and dangerous from Oliver. Lucky he didn’t knock the guy out. 

     

    My heart just missed a beat what was Oliver thinking very lucky

    • 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.
