Jeez this is a good game of footy.

Freo is clearly the best side we've faced since that blistering Dogs 2nd quarter.
Hope May is OK, but I fear he isn't…!

I can Weid just get after it rather than sitting back every time?!!!!

Agree both Weed and Brown need to get in front. Very frustrating

    Dunstan warming up. Not looking good for May

    No he isn’t he is doing what every single sub does.

    Not much input from Trac so far

    Nup and his body language on the siren wasn't great. Maxy got around him though

    Lobb keeping them in it. They must be tagging Trac. They're taking advantage of no Langdon by zoning defensively just behind the wing, in a straight line. Chopping off everything. Weid needs to [censored] position himself better. Caught flat-footed and behind opponent too often. They're killing us in the air so far.

    Agree and Weid gave Bedford the chance.


    Going to miss TMac today.

    Langdon the bigger loss. But TMac is just such a smarter footballer than Weid. I'd force Weid up the ground to counter Lobb, and get Brown to play deeper.

    Pretty ordinary start and we are lucky to be in front. Loosing May will mean that we can have a look at our future FB in Petty taking the #1 Forward.

    Need more pressure in the midfield.  


    If May goes off Max will have to sit back more.

    Freo didn;t capitalise on their superiority that quarter. they won;t beat us if they continue to kick so poorly

    outstaning pressure from ANB. almost stripped darcy and then blocked the kick

    Great pick up and goal Bedford. Love that he's taking this chance.

    Bedford will be an absolute gun small forward. He is such a find !

    • 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.
