Legit I'd be embarrassed if Weightman or Hunter played for us.

 

Being beaten on every stat now..

need to get one or two more before half time and then see what the second half brings

Is Salem back on the ground

    Has the standing rule just disappeared?

     

    So many Dogs players sook for frees constantly.

    Another season. Another umpiring debacle. Absolute joke. Umpire 32 needs to take a hike.

    Worried about Salem, he looked pretty upset on the bench with his left knee on ice.


    I hate the rule, but so many times already tonight I’ve seen the dogs players jumping around and moving on the mark and yet no free?! Have I just missed a change or are the umpires just helping them out? 

    Great to see Neale here.

    Well we got back in it. Just got to tweak a few things. 

    It would be nice to see a grand final 2nd half performance

    Tough going that quarter. Hope Salem isn't too bad, looking like the walking sounded and it's only Rd 1.

    Need to get a few clearances, they are putting us to the sword every time they clear it.

     

    The AFL can’t seriously expect players not to complain when they’ve made the game so confusing to interpret, and then on top of that start the season being so consistently reactive to ‘new interpretations’.

    Ive watched footy for almost 40 years and I’m so confused.

    Jackson is still rusty. Bedford as sub is a tactical error considering we went in on be back short.

    • 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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      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? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?
