She loved it at first sight. Although for a relatively recent arrival to the country (she does her citizenship ceremony on Tuesday) she really has developed a mental disorder when cheering for the Dees. I swear she would physically harm anyone in our house who spoke negatively against the Dees on game day.

.......aaaand so I will do the right thing just as soon as it is listed in her size on the Demon shop. Cos, you know, i don't want to die just yet.

She sounds like the kind of person this country needs a lot more of!

    Yep - that about covers it. Something rib related is the result.

    Ta.  Watched the game (and the tackle) but news on the injury was limited.  Hope the red vest was a precaution.

    17 down, 15 more to go.

    A long long way, so let's pace ourselves.

    We were in cruise control the whole game. I had no worries throughout the game and was just waiting for us to put a foot down. Players knew it also and were just wanting to bank the win and move on.

    We could have won by more had it been for accurate kicking but it is what it is.

    Really big test next week. Hope Viney and Langdon are good to go.

    A few players are out of form which is a bit concerning..

    I’m hearing ribs for Lingers. 
     

    Probably won’t know more until he has some scans. If it’s just bruising he could still miss a week or two.

    I thought North played a very spiteful game. If we come up against a team that plays tough and spiteful and plays with far greater skill than North we will be really tested.

     The hit on Langdon was right in front of me and the stuffing was knocked out of him. Whilst the kick for goal was taken Clayton ran over to him and looked like he was asking how he was and Ed just put his head down and Clayton wrapped both arms around him. It didn’t look good. We need Ed to play next week. We missed his pace and run today.

    Thank goodness next week we are at MCG and not in WA. We need to lift.

    Any idea on the attendance?

    13,422 was the number they put up on the screen. 

    Ordinary total

    I was at the ground today and I sat myself behind the Melbourne goals in the final quarter. The kangaroo defenders were taking it in turns to block Max out of marking contests and after succeeding 3 times the umpires penalised them the 4th time.

    Gross cheating by North who could do nothing else

    Personally I felt it was fair and just hard, if the shoe was on the other foot I reckon most would say it was good attack. 

    Pickett loves doing tackles like that as well, just a bit of bad luck for Linger.

    I tend to agree. The head is sacrosanct but the ribs are fair game. 
     

    He got the free which is just about what it is worth. 
     

    If it was concussion, then it’s 2 weeks.

    Someone should tell Jackson that when he gets a mark or free and he doesn’t yet have the ball he should run back from the mark. He doesn’t far too often. Sometimes he even goes forward of the mark.  Result is he loses options for a quick kick or playing on beyond the statue on the mark

    I think the entire game plan was to negate. It was a bit of a shame they didn’t take it on more. Those dinky kicks from HB are very much Geelong like and we know that brand doesn’t stand up.

    I think Noble is in a bit of trouble tbh - Every rebuilding team should be modelling their game on ours (defensive) in the first few years (ala Roos) and build offense from there. They play a different style each week - today was one-on-one and uncontested.  Two things you don’t see in finals footy.

    Still not good enough.

    We have 60k members and yet could only bring in 13k for today.

    I made the 4 1/2 trip down to watch the game and the atmosphere was pathetic.

    • 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.
