Gold Coast Suns should be ashamed of themselves. Big Richmond injuries, a must win game to stay in touch and they dish up this tripe. Good thing they re-appointed Fat Boy Slim instead of Clarkson.

They've had a very fortuitous season IMO.

Beat Essendon by 11, Carlton by 4, Hawthorn by 4, GWS by 11, GC by 5 and now North by 7.

5-0 in that run could so easily have been 3-2 or worse, which would have them back in the pack and/or out of the 8.

To their credit they held on in all of those games, but generally speaking when a side does this well in close games they eventually regress back to the "norm", which is to not win 100% of them. Could happen this year with their moderately difficult run home, or otherwise we might find that next year they drop off in ladder position as you can't expect to continually win these close games.

On the percentage ladder they are 12th. Tells you everything about how lucky they’ve been in a season where 2 of the teams have essentially been byes.

 

Gold Coast chucked it in now.

I've been hearing all season about how Witts is the favourite to replace Gawn as AA ruckman.  He's done absolutely nothing tonight.  A few dinky little handballs.  Tigers 4 goals from stoppage out of 10. Other than being big and getting his hand to it a bit he's pretty useless.  Gawn is in no danger from him. Richmond will win this by 10 goals plus the way they're going.


I've been hearing that Collingwood are sniffing around a certain hyphen type name from a side who played them recently, which couldn't happen could it.

all of a sudden the Suns have sparked into life. I didn't see this coming

Assuming you mean Horne Francis I'm sure there's a number of clubs.

If Jackson goes West I'd be content with HF and a top 10 pick.

My instant reaction was ‘why would Alex Neal-Bullen want to play at Collingwood?’

Seriously, players shouldn’t get match payments if they miss shots that easy.

Super pleased to say that did not age well.  Well done Suns!!

What a finish Noah Anderson!

Probably the best guy to have a shot after the siren. Classic finish 

Wouldn't mind seeing the suns make the 8. Mainly because it'd likely be at the expense of a Tigers or Dogs or similar

  • 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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?
