Twice (that I have seen) already tonight Reiwoldt at very least "shows dissent" without penalty.

Have the AFL ever admitted that how they managed to preseason M V Carlton game was over zealous?  I guess they rarely admit they stuff things up.

I’d rather our “learnings” from this is in a nothing game and let everyone one else learn in season proper


Dogs now 6.14 to Toigs 9.4

That is 20 scoring shots to 13.  

Could well cost them big time.

Tigers and dogs won’t be causing trouble come finals

 

A stacked midfield will only get you so far, dogs should be looking to trade out some mids for key position players 


Gotta love watch Pruessy. Copped a late hit during a marking contest. Did the old 80’s throw of the elbow after. 

from an initial view that’ll be two weeks

Agreed. Bont for Weideman.

Naitanui had Dean Cox early in his career too...

Didn't help as he never learnt how to play footy, where to position.   IN the early days they always had a mic in his ear at training  to try and teach him.  It like comparing Stynes and Naitanui in terms of game knowledge.   In saying that he is the nicest guy and has done really well out of his career.  

No better sight in footy than a torp goal on the siren. The friendly exchange between ump and Riewoldt beforehand just adds to the theatre. Suffer Dogs. 


Dogs have no heart. When things don’t go their way they rarely comeback 

funny that hogan plays against former clubs in consecutive weeks

i didn't see the preuss hit - was watching the other game - but was it actually bad? high? deliberate? what level of impact?

They rely on their mids to have a perfect game to win. Means it’s very easy for things to fall apart. 
We saw what happened in the grand final when our midfield gained control. It was a disaster for the Dogs. 


Massive fail for the Dogs tonight.  Can they regroup with this list and this coach? Not likely IMO. 

Have a look at the afl fantasy points for this game. Show how pointless disposals are if you don't use the ball correctly.

For a player who get so many accolades Caleb Daniels make a lot of costly mistakes.

Bailey Dale as well.

  • 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.
