Harmes on Libba?  And running him ragged the other way.  Noice so far.  But still early days fellow minions.  Heads down!

    Our pressure is causing their defence huge headaches

    Ok I’m sure this has been asked before but why aren’t we wearing our indigenous jumpers?

    Harmes, Trac and Oliver...27 touches.

    Four goals up but dogs have six frees to three. Mmmm. Here we go again.

    Can we put Tom up ffwd and Sam at chf. ?

    Outstanding quarter and I wish I was there. Also if I was there I'd be giving it to that umpire about that TMac block call, just held his ground and Crozier jumped into him, we were off.

    That and gawns 50 metre kick from the ruck clearance that bounced left instead of right/straight

    And here come the umps with three softies in a row.

    Yes! 1:45 left on the clock at the centre bounce. 1 free at the bounce, then a block. Lever took a mark not paid and then holding the ball against Jordan when he didn't have it.
    Completely outrages. If you get the chance, watch that last 2 mins and tell me they weren't trying to give the Dogs a goal to try and make a contest. 

    Hope we hit the Sullivan line next quarter. Go Dees!

    Well that was unexpected, dogs not switched on at all first quarter. Expect them to come up firing in the second after that though. 

    Our pressure game is completely opposite to last week, incredibly we should be further in front. Spargo usually doesn’t waste it but he’s probably going at 50% on chances had creating goals. 

    Keep going Dees, long way to go!

     

    That was fun.
    Lets do it again this qr..

    Dogs kicking across the ground must give our backs time to set up.

    Any chance Weid can get his hands near the the ball

    Great start Dees. I’d expect the Dogs to respond but we have to equal it and I reckon we burry the game in the next quarter if we do.

    Dogs look like us laat week. Flat and unorganised silly unforced errors.

    Looking good.

    Remember they had a 100 point winning training run last week against the Saints so it’s taken them 20 minutes to realise we aren’t witches hats.

    I really hope the Weid can take a grab and kick a goal. His confidence looks shot to me.

    Looks like he's trying too hard - needs to relax a bit

    AFL deemed it a clash. 

    It’s a [censored] disgrace. Carlton is allowed to play Collingwood, Essendon and Richmond in its regular jumper but we can’t wear red against their blue.

    Statement quarter - BOOM

    The pressure. Intensity. Tackling. 

    Fritter's intercept and goal a joy.

    Long way to go, but we are ON 

    Let's go! Do what the dogs have been doing to lesser opposition this year.

    He gets his hands on everything.
    Needs to hold a couple for a confidence boost.

    Oliver is in Brownlow form. Forget Patracca  and Bont - Cayton is the ONE.

    • 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.
