    I about to post that too.

    Constantly diving instead of trying to run through and pick the ball up (Like he used to),  Something wrong with his back and he can't bend?

    Either of these two sides would make worthy runners up this year.

    Neither of them can defend around the ground.

    Frustrating part is a lot of the bad calls made so far this year, the umpires have been in a position to see what has happened and still made the wrong call. 
    Also would love some consistency on players getting caught with the ball then just dropping it cold.

    Excellent result.

    Brisbane are probably the second best side in the league so any loss by them is a bonus.

    i actually don't think they are; they've shown that they win at home and they play well when the game is on their terms, but when it tightens up  they can't quite get it done

    their fixture should help them to top 4, but i don't see them as a threat away from the gabba

    I counted 4 ridiculous umpiring decisions in the last quarter that went to girlong. Just pathetic it was. That Hawkins push really got to me.

    The holding the ball rule did not exist tonight. 

    I thought Mitch Robinson did a few errors in that final quarter. Should have kicked it to Daniher a lot quicker in the final few minutes. also botched a few kicks. 

    But hey we are still sitting pretty on top.

    2nd best based on what? The three teams they’ve beaten this year have so far have zero wins combined.

    Unbelievably biased umpiring at the crucial moments in the last. Hawkins ffs. BT raising his voice in adulation of all things Geelong when they’re in possession. All sadly in accordance with their expectations and, dare I suggest, the script.

    Tonight speaks more about Brisbane then Geelong.

    The fact Brisbane still couldn't beat Geelong without Selwood and Stewart is why I questioned that at the start of the year whether they could win the flag.

    If they can't even perform at the Gabba come finals how will they perform at the MCG in front of 90k come September. 

    These are the games they should have easily mopped up if they want to be a genuine contender.

    Cam Rayner for me is a little overrated imo

    They have 2 glaring issues which they haven’t fixed 

    1- they are incredibly slow through the middle so struggle to cover the ground to defend 

    2- they don’t like pressure

    • 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.
