    Brown while not “fast” was in 3 contests that started at the back flank before marking and goaling then… nice.

    We are trying to do way too much, trying to break all the tackles and do the selfish crap. 
     

    Swans swarm us and we then turn it over. 
    Gotta get back to team first.

    Centre clearances are a big issue. We won’t win this game if we can’t start controlling the play thru there. 
    Sydney is loving this rolling zone rubbish. Whenever we broke free of them off the back we scored.

    Any chance we could man up on these swans

    Good call.

    Swans double the clearances and their tackles actually stuck.

    We are slow again and need to remember this isnt North.

    Gus and Anb need a rocket up them. And whats going on with Max.

    Geez Harmes just loves to stand in those tackles but then does nothing with it 

    Swans are all around the ball 

    Lucky we're kicking straight. Makes a huge difference.

    I’m more stressed after that first quarter than I have been for past few weeks. Enough swearing and shouting to send the dog retreating to the bedroom. ?

    • 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.
