    Is Underwood a recruiting officer for WA clubs. Everyone leaving next it will be Rivers

    Disgraceful but expected form those Muppets. You should respect that a player belongs to a team and they play for that team, not to f-ing show off for the soon to be wooden Spooners


    This is really pathetic. Our goal kicking will hurt us one day. You also can’t just keep going through the motions. West Coast have played with intensity and we haven’t. Another kick on the full as  I type.

    Any risk we can play?

    No. we don't know how to kick goals because we don't know how to play offensive football. 


    Clear mark to Fritta, then push in back. Umpire pays free kick… why not 50? Why not pay mark, is it because paying the in the back helps even out a lopsided free kick count??

    Meh this game sucks.

    We just struggle to put sides away when opportunity presents.

    One of those goal kicking yips days. 

    Way too many of those days so far for my liking. Really need to sort this up and demand Fritsch to stop being MIA for 80% of the matches.


    And there are the boos. One of the main reasons why i hate West Coast

    We should be absolutely belting the Eagles. They’re completely stuffed from Covid and ageing playing list. I don’t think people get how bad they are. Here’s some perspective.  The only team with a worse percentage than this Eagles team in the past 20 years is GWS in their first season at 46%. Even our worst year under Neeld we were 54%.

    To not be 60 points up at least by this stage is weak. We’re playing Hollywood footy today with players taking stupid shots and wanting highlight reel stuff instead of just doing the team thing.

    After that assy move by Gawn, Goodwin was shown fuming on the bench!

    We say all the right things when interviewed like 'we respect the opposition' etc. and then we have a VFL reserves quality team smack us for a quarter and a half.

    • 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.
