Can Goody rev us up?

worst display of kicking I’ve seen in years

zero intensity

And zero creativity. We look scared to take the game on

    Hard to blame the forward line as a collective when 1) Fritsch burns 4 teammates and decides to shoot for goal instead of hitting up a teammate for an easy goal; 2) Melksham completely shanks a kick to Pickett who would have run in to an open goal.  

    We've looked far better on Langdon's wing and if wasn't for the above and our poor shots at goal we'd have put 4-5 on the board.

     

    Wow that lacked intensity and skill. Every time we kick inside 50, we are lucky to have 1 player moving, let alone anyone leading. We have a huge problem if our only leading forward is Gawn. And  talk about static. Where has our run gone?


    Almost everything from the Dees seems half hearted.

    And, yet again, no tall as the sub.  We will get screwed. 

    At least a tall as medi sub

    Their part time ruckman Dixon has more hit outs than our three ruckmen. Sheesh.

    Sub is a small when we went small anyway.

    Weid obviously is not wanted by us.

    Petracca's half effort cost us a goal. Why are we lacking so much confidence in our forward half. Better off attacking the goal. How many times do miss gettable shots on goal with no wind at the ground. Our kicking has gone backwards this season. ?lIt is so bloody frustrating. We need a forward in this team. Why didn't we pick JvR this round. Perfect opportunity to debut. 


    This game has Cairns vibes about it. No fluency, ball movement laboured and players looking lost for answers. I don't where the spark is going to come from.

    Port aren't much chop either so won't take much to beat them. Who will stand up for us? Maybe Viney can grab the game by the scruff of the neck and lead by example

    It would be downright embarrassing to get beaten by this mob.

    This game is screaming out for Trac to show why he’s top tier.

    Kozzie in the bounce!!

    1st quarter 

    🤬pathetic. Zero goals. Slow and wide and wide and wide. Not daring. No overlap running.  Go wide and wide.  
    🤬missed opportunities.  Fritsch. Pickett. Jackson. 
    🤡BBB and Bedford.  

     

    Lever back on.

    Kozzie into the middle

    • 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.
