    Fix the defensive game in the middle and tighten up down back and we got this. 

    A few very soft frees their way. We do need to play some tempo this quarter.


    Left some on the table.. win the midfield and the territory battle and we will coast it in.

    This is a cracking game

    BT summed it "Explosive quarter"

    Such kickable misses. Tighten defence up and roll these parolees.

    Some big concerns. The game is on their terms, they are scoring, they have belief. Make so mistake if we don't find some kind of control or forward 50 territory they will fancy themselves a chance

    I hope that Maxy miss isn't one that catches up to us...

    Need to settle it down in the back half, don’t want a shootout like we did with the dogs

    What a quarter. The only real negatives are that we gave up 5 goals (one to that spud Cox), and Maxy's miss. Wish Salem sunk that as well. 

    But still, that was intense. Don't think they can sustain that for 4 quarters which is good because I don't think my heart can handle 4 either!

    Seriously max needs to do something about his kicking. As an experienced senior player & captain you should not miss from that distance in front

    And a 10 out of 10 for entertainment value

    Entertainment ia great don't get me wrong, we need control and tempo though. I'd prefer 6.5 entertainment and 10 out of 10 performance.

    Who gives a stuff about entertainment if u lose?? Couldnt give a fat rats clacker about entertainment

    Not much use slowing it down unless we can get a decent break.

    They have proven on multiple occasions how easily they pierce our defence

    We need a ten goal to two quarter... which we can do

    • 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.
