Getting nothing from the umps. Having said that, this game was lost at selection

We wish. Wouldn’t have made an iota of difference.

    You forgot Harmes. 

    Been banging on about him all year.

    Can't stand him as player.

    So, will Goodwin shuffle the magnets - Gus into the guts maybe for a start.  Sadly not sure what else there is though.

    Can stomach a loss but let’s try not to get embarrassed.

    Too late.

    Getting slaughtered in the middle. Leave Dogga in the ruck. Play Max forward. Move Tmac wing. More pressure on their mids

    Was Clarry playing Q2?

    Watch the off the ball work on Oliver, should be getting frees

    Will we get fined for tanking, we rather play port than bne, get the cross over and meet Geelong in the gf

    I know that we won’t win from here but need to win back some respect in the second half.!!!

    T Mac has been beyond insipid tonight. We can’t in all seriousness take him into next week. Bring back Melk. Bring back anyone.

    McDonald has shown that if his body is not 100% right, he's woeful. Also, by his own admission he takes several weeks to get into marking form. Well sorry bud, you're my favourite player but we just don't have that sort of time.

    So if we lose to port in adelaide we play gws or swans i guess.

    I cant believe how soft our tackling is.

    We are so flat footed.

    So you don’t like TMac, Brayshaw, Harmes and Fritsch.

    Not many left Dazzle.

    Smith should be delisted.  One good game v crows. Terrible tonight 

    Rohan has had 2 kicks.  Who would not have had a goal kicked on them in that onslaught?

    I think your post is the most embarrassing

    How? Sure, our performance this half has been awful and I can see why people are frustrated, but the abusive comments directed at certain players are just gutless.

    Admittedly we have not been good in the first half, BUT too much negativeism is floating in the place.  !!!!!!

    Losing at Centre bounce => Defence not ready => easy goals . Quite simple really.

    Viney taken high by Selwood - no free.

    And did Dangerfield shoulder Clarrie high?  Nothing to see Mr Christian

    Imagine some of the posters on this site were Carlton supporters at half time in the 1970 grand final. Some of the bile towards our team and players is woeful. Yes it a bad performance but whether we win or lose you still need three wins to claim the cup. Let see what transpires in the finals before we commit hari kari

    Yet we somehow lead in. inside 50s 30 - 27 ..... but no structure.

    That's our issue, we were on top for almost the first quarter and a half, dominated inside 50's, but compare Hawkins, Cameron, Rowan to Brown, McDonald and Fritsch. Their forwards only need a sniff and manage to find space....so frustrating. Makes me want to vomit.

     

    I come here, eat popcorn and inhale the hysteria. 

    I mean, this is the place for it right?

    • 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.
