    Absolute trash football. We need to sort out the forwardline fast. 

     

    Got given a couple free tickets to this game from a family friend who’s an Essendon supporter. In the Middle of their reserved seating. They’re so feral ??

    Gee they flood back...3 against 1 everytime.....

    We can win this...just need that 3 goal run on

    I'd take that 10 times out of 10 if If were an Essendon fan. We threw everything at them for 1 goal 5. Bombers up and about.

    Kozzies delivery poor tonight

    Whole team delivery poor..add the coach too, we have no forward and it looks like it .

     

    what’s with the handballs going higher in the air than distance traveled 

    .

    wake the [censored] up melbourne 

    Glad the break came when it did then. We need to reset with an understanding of how they are trying to play us. 

    Got to work out our plan forward of the ball. Leading forwards and one deep is the go.

    Viney looks off the pace tonight.  Would have Harmes in the middle (running pretty hot of late) and Viney up forward when not benched.  Only minor time in the middle pls in his first game or two back.

    Please Melbourne don’t let this be the start of the end. We can’t keep losing to mediocre teams and expect to win premierships. 
    Big mistake not playing a tall tonight. Perfect conditions so far.

    Bomners with numbers back every time.

    Bb out I just dont get.

    Has the club got the sooks with him?

    We should be winning with our fwd entries but we aint.

    We are relying on Spargo to mark inside fifty.

    Sure we keep sides from high scoring but we cant score ourselves.

    We kick an abysmal score against the pies and we drop sw and replace him with jack v.

    The scoreboard doesn't reflect how dominant we were that quarter. We desperately need to start taking our chances and stop allowing Essendon to look capable of scoring when they get the ball in their forward line. This was a problem we had in 2019.

    If only we had a full forward to kick to.

    Thought our forward line was poor but then realized we don’t have one. 
     

    poor effort 70% time in our forward line and we did nothing with it. poor kicking, poor marking. they are getting their running game going with a free man on the overlap and we are not covering. Need to all lift their game.

    Not for us. HQ need the ladder compacted. Us winning does not result in that.

    • 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.
