    His numbers have been good but he has looked absolutely buggered during games recently.

    Back to Sparrow, Harmes, Viney all being in the same midfield group. The stuff of horrors.

    Surely Harmes is there to tag Neale into the ground again

    I feel so sad for him. He was dropped and made sub around the same time last year and ended up as sub in the grand final. I feel like he’s more than earnt his spot this season and I hope it’s just a temporary rest and he’s back in the side for finals.

    Clause 1A in Gus' contract looking shaky 

    Might be playing forward pocket at this rate

    Surprising! Maybe a late change?

    If not, should consider himself unlucky with Charlie Spargo getting a gig in front of him...

    Not stiff. He’s been fading out of games for a month.

    Really think he just needs a rest to freshen up. While he isnt the most damaging player, he sure has been good as that link up player on the wing this year.

    Sparrow is lucky imo.

    Dip in form of Jordon was no doubt caused by that knock to his medial ligament that happened a couple weeks ago. Been strapped since.

    No Weideman in emergencies is telling. Shows how far back he is.

    Jordan unlucky, I know he was carrying a niggle but it’ll be hard to get back into the team now.

    I wonder if Gus will go back to the wing or we try Sparrow or Spargo goes there full time.

    It's a case of horses for courses. If Harmes can mininise Neale's influence the change will be justified, however unlucky Jordon is entitled to feel. Bit worried about Spargo, though. His impact in recent games has been minimal.

    That would be Melbourne Football Club premiership players Mr. James Harmes, Mr. Jack Viney and Mr. Tom Sparrow.

    Been a liability since the knee injury. Will be better for it. Most oppositions attack this side of the ground to expose his questionable fitness.

    With the injury to Tmac this side is about as good as it gets. We should be able to get a win in QLD.

    I don’t understand why they played Harmes in the slog last Sunday if they intended him to play tomorrow. Did he get rested in the last quarter? Surely JJ won’t miss out again after playing all year - perhaps being freshened up.

    • 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.
