    If we go in with the same mind set we had against the Pies then the bombers will win this one.

    The bombers have their tails up and we suffered a loss to a poor team in our last game.

    I hope to god the rest has rejuvenated the Dees.

    It was a very poor win off memory.

    The Dons were horribly out of form and we had finals on the line. We cruised to a 34 point lead in the 3rd quarter only to somehow find ourselves only 7 points down in the last quarter, in shortened quarters.

    We were not behind at any stage after just into the second quarter. It was never in doubt. Frustrating that they made their comeback though

    I trust Melbourne enough these days that we won't play two horrible games in a row. Should win this convincingly.

    Have they really got their tails up though? Took until the last minute to break Hawthorn yesterday, allowed the Tigers to kick 7 in the last 10 mins against them the week before, bye the week before that. I except us to hit them with the reality bus.

    If ever there was a club I'd like Melbourne to make a statement against.. 

    How good would our first 10+ win of the year be?

    This. Have hated them since the 2000 granny. I've been rapt with the consistent 4 goal wins but I'd love the boys to get some real bloodlust up against this mob.

    I hated them with an unholy passion before the 2000 grannie and thought it was impossible to hate them any more than that at the time. But yeah, I somehow managed to beat my PB. The scary thing is my hate of them is seemingly still growing. Where will it end? How much hate can one little person manufacture? Somebody slap me!

    • 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.
