Good to claw back the margin. This GC side are front runners. We are losing the hit outs, clearances and free kick count. So a bit I improve on

Absolutely. He’s starting to become a nightmare for opposition coaches, how do you stop a player like Jackson? Unreal

    Probably need to put someone (Harmes?) on Miller - 17 touches that quarter...

    yeah, he's outa control. Needs some Viney attention, I reckon.

     

    Jackson has been awesome and Gus has worked bloody hard. Lots need to lift though.

    If the suns can fix their entries inside 50, they’ll be capable of some massive scores. They win so much of the ball with Miller and Rowell

    I hope LJ stays for 15 years.

    He rang me up to ask/remind me to renew my membership (I was lazy this year).

    I agreed to renew and told him not to ever leave us so safe to say he’s locked in for life.

    Amazing to think everyone in his draft year all the judges had Rowell at 1 and  Noah Anderson at 2. The Suns were gifted pick 2 at our expense. We didn't whinge because we wanted Jacko

    Hate to say this but Hawks are going ok.

    Spargo's delivery and poise to hit up Spargo there was amazing.

    EDIT - not even Spargo could hit up Spargo. I mean Fritsch!

    Could be a once in a generation player if he keeps improving at the rate he is. He won’t start peaking for another 3-4 years which is scary

    Well a pretty hard task to do, I must say 😝

    • 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.
