Max shepherded out of the ruck - no free.

13 - 8 plus so many not paid

Clear narrative from HQ. Just like the Lions game.


No need to chase this its gone, regardless we were playing in Adelaide only it will be on Friday Night.

2021 is hard enough without watching Melbourne embarrass themselves and fall apart like a cheap suit a week from finals.

    That was a blessed quarter for Geelong. They won’t do that again. Had a little help early in the quarter and then momentum had some fun. We dropped our heads badly. We need to make a respectable game out of it now though

    We’re getting put in a spliff. 
    Embarrassing with so much to play for 😩

    Heading for straight sets. 
    I’ve turned it off. I can’t watch this [censored].

    15 minute period has just ended our season. Yes we reload for finals, but with our current personal we cannot win a flag. Too much inexperience, and too much reliance on Oliver and Petracca. As soon as they’re not getting ball, our midfield disintegrates.

    Port will beat us in Adelaide next week. Who knows what happens from there.

    [censored] disappointing end to the season.

    Counts for little tonight. I’m glad that Scott has shown his hand so we can work on how to defend against them in finals if needed
     

    no injuries please

    well beat Port next week

     

    Their game plan is unchanged. Chip chip chip kick inside 50

     

    You'd think that a game plan that has stayed the same for the last 10 years might actually be defended by us

    So many pessimistic loser posts.

    It doesn't take much for anger and hatred to arise in football.

    Well this half will say a lot about the team and their belief.

    8 goals in a row in a single quarter. That is 2012 woeful.

    Well that was the worst 30 minutes of my week

    Just had to step out for a halfa, what did I miss??

     

     


    Need to just walk this one out and start preparing for next week, no point risking anything more on a lost cause. No point dwelling on this anymore cats just were on fire for 10 minutes. Won’t do it again if we play at some point and won’t be at gmhba 

    Edited by Garbo

    A shellacking will be no good for confidence heading into finals

    At the moment its an all round chitshow. We need some respectability from this game. Max, Trac, Clarry need to lead the way and defenders need to introduce themselves to each other. 

    Come on Dees ffs. Wake up

    Appreciate the hope.

    Just sad to see some blokes tonight as passengers.

    This was a chance to finish on top but sadly we dont want it enough.

    Our touted backline looks like a rabble.

    The lack of clearances in the middle is scary.

    We look like like a team thinking about the end of year os trip.

    Is that a Hocking reference? Or eyes on Tv reference?

    Mainly TV but a bit of Hocking.

    One word. Uncompetitive when the finals heat comes on, and this IS a final. So much promise, so much hope, and bang. 7 goals in 10 minutes. That’s not just a fraudulent defence, that’s a contested embarrassment. In all honesty, who here thinks we can win the flag? And how?

    • 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.

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week?
