    Why is it so congested in our forward line!

    We move it slowly, so the blues flood back

    As good a game as you will see as far as pressure goes.

     

    History says we lose this.

    Can he even jump?

    Easily losing a ruck contest to Silvagni was quite telling

    Cripps did it earlier. All G said ump.

    We just need to limp across the line. This has been really, really hard. Blues are up and about as they should be, finals at stake, Paddy wants to be there. If we do not bring it this quarter we can forget about anything in September.

    I am dead serious, another game we have led at every change. If we drop this then we clearly have a mental issue at play. We need to get over the line, the world of good that will do mentally.

    Can we please try and activate Harmes in the last qtr for anyone of Fritsch, Spargo, Pickett or Sparrow.

    What an [censored] and an expensive run onto the ground by that moron

    Biggest cheer of the night 

    Gap between our best and worst is too far. We look brilliant one moment and then nuff-nuffs the next. Apart from Melksham, our F50 play still lacks class. 

    Jake Lever needs to stand up if we are going to win this.

    what was our kick out strategy with 50 seconds on the clock ?

    Sparrow was dead set all by himself on the 50 in the corridor. FMD this kick in play is just infuriating. If you can my hit that kick with no pressure, what the f are you playing afl for.

    Just quietly Lever has cost us 3 goals. 

    He can panic at times, but love his courageousness and continually backing himself in. We could do with more of his self-belief.

    We have a 2 day minus travel break on this mob, we seriously should be running over the top of them. No point peaking fitness in the last week of September if we aren't there

    Gus is playing so well

    Practically marking his own kicks.

    And kicking them into the air without looking and most are turnovers.

    Although that's the time to do it

    • 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.
