    Yep I miss being with the Demon Army tonight. One kinda gets used to being surrounded by REAL fans. 
    I’d plumb forgotten how mean-spirited DL can be during a match. Shameful. 

    Dont come on here then. we may not be perfect but take the good with the bad.

    Is Salem doing the concussion protocol or not? 

    I really hope he isn't concussed because we need him next week against the pies

    Gawn needs to find a new set shot routine. That is just atrocious.

    Absolutely.  He just doesnt look like it at any stage from any position on the ground

    Melbourne-esque tonight.

    The coast to coast forward line entries are coming about from pressure, talk and structure, not hot dogging.

    Midfields defensive running and blocking the corridor has been a lot better tonight. Viney had a great first half, Trac and Gus good too. Clarry well held tonight but thankfully his mates are doing their bit.

    Someone seriously needs to work with max on his goal kicking. This could be costly in the finals.

    max is usually far better on the opposite side of the field kicking for goal, so that when he runs around he opens the angle, he ran around with his usual routine and closed down the angle. still it is wet

    Brayshaw has been fantastic tonight, weids has a goal hopefully he can add to that in the last and help us extend the lead further.

    It’s orange cake. Of course it’s good. 

    After having my Yia Yia's Orange cake for years my standards are quite high when it comes to Orange Cake WCW.

    These fumbles below the knees are killing us.

    Hibberd and Hunt had done plenty of them tonight.

    Might be doing the broken nose protocol. Reckon a bit of blood on Salo looks good

    This has been a different game style. We haven't played this "brand" for weeks. Great to see.

    They must've found their mojo 🤔

    Petracca, Viney & Brayshaw - 70 touches all up

    That Brayshaw left foot hooked kick towards the boundary gaining 40 or 50 is an interesting ploy ... and it's worked well

    • 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.
