Lost our heads in the last few minutes. Vinny keeps doing too much. Fritta absolutely shocking. TMac great intercept but why handball 15m? Kozzie, shocking kick. 

But of course overall very good ?.


Wowee is Jack Viney the biggest liability out there?

    Yes. Making Harmes look like he can actually take players on.

    A big issue is that Viney seldom gets dropped. If he's fit, Goodwin and the selectors generally consider him an automatic in.

    My anxiety gone by half time. That couldn't have gone any better.

    Great to be up, but horrible last 10 minutes with a ridiculous amount of possession that really sums up the Dee's broader issues:

    - Getting ahead of ourselves and being our own worst enemy

    - not composing ourselves heading inside 50

    - trying to do too much (Viney consistent offender)

    - Missing EASY goals again... at least 4 easy shots in that period each missed by like 20 metres, WTF guys?

     

    Any danger we can compose ourselves and play percentage football?

    100%. We coughed up some absolutely stock standard chances, the good thing about that is that it gives Goodwin something to talk to the players about. He should be filthy that they wasted those golden opportunities, Brown should have a bag we’re it not for some poor final kicks. 

    Viney, it’s hard not to love his determination, but an armchair tap down from Gawn and he decides to take on the entire GC midfield. First option Jack! Head on the black now, if he doesn’t have a good second half I’d be bringing in either Jordon or Melksham for him. Can’t have both him and Harmes trying to fend off every bloody player.

    Hes an absolute mess of a player.

    Needs to FRO to Casey and learn to play football. This guy will kills us come finals.

    The issue I have is Goodwin is unfortunately too soft to drop him.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    • 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.
