    No change for me.

    But I can see why Bowey could be a potential omission for Rivers is need.

    Out BBB continued his woeful form.  Got outmarked again & again. In Tomlinson. Has to be an improvement.

    C’mon man. They’re still not kicking to his advantage. They continue to kick it on top of his head.

    Can’t see any changes.  
    Was very worried about JV7 when he went down though - thought he was concussed but clearly not.

    The 5 day break in to the Geelong game should be the main factor when evaluating changes.

    There’s at least an argument for Hibberd and/or Bowey and Bedford coming out this week with a guarantee of coming back the next week. Maybe even Sparrow as well. Or Ben Brown if we want to be really cautious.

    Although the more likely thing is they play and we see how everyone is going in a weeks time.

    I think it will be “No Change”

    Only change possible is   “in. Rivers   Out. Bowey” (he was pushed aside, overran it several times and didn’t look composed with the footy as he did in rounds 1-4. )

    its amazing what winning games of footy does. Lose today and Gawn foot turns out to be  more of a 6-8 week injury.

    Time to play smart and think of this as two games. Adelaide and Geelong

    Rest Petracca perhaps. Bowey?

    I do think we wasted an opportunity with the North and Eagles game to strategically manage players

    Bowey is really struggling at the moment. Rivers might be a better option.

    +1 Rivers for Bowey, more in honour  of how Riv has been playing in the 2’s. Bowey can freshen up.

    • 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.
