    Out of the 3 tall forwards for both sides, he was the only one to kick a goal. Iā€™m not saying he played a good game obviously, but I donā€™t think BB would have done much in those conditions.

    I actually thought Sparrow was avg at best. Maybe I hold him in high regards that what he produced Ā tonight (and last few weeks tbh) have been under what I expect from him.

    Lots of room for Weids to improve obviously but his key role would for him not to be out marked and he ticked that box. Ā Similar story to ANBā€™s role which was to reduce the impact of Jordan Clark which he also achieved. Ā

    So we had all the above see time in the backline (Langdon quite often drifts back as a link player around half back - to good effect)

    Brayshaw also helped out down back when needed.Ā  In soccer terms he'd be described as a defensive midfielder tonight but he did gain a lot of metres for the team (with well placed kicks)Ā 

    Hunt got amongst it even though his disposal was a bit iffy ... did enough to stay in the side (Harmes will come back though)

    Still reckon Hunt is at his best when he gets the chance to work in conjunction with Langdon - happened a few times tonight.Ā  That duel pace attack would worry the opposition

    Freo scored 5.9 so the backmen should be given a lot of credit (which is what you've done) Ā

    I think if you watch the replay you'll see he often plays a link role - sometimes just a touch or tap on that doesn't count as a stat. Must cover a few km also.

    As I said, I really like Sparrow so Iā€™m prob unfairly expecting more off him.

    Ham, itā€™s an opinion. Itā€™s a great talking point and starts good discussion. If you donā€™t like it put your opinion here. If itā€™s abusive most will dismiss it. If itā€™s intelligent most will respect it.Ā

    • 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.

      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 teamā€™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.Ā  Thereā€™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.Ā  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. Itā€™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.
