Can we seriously buy a free kick??

Only in the back 50. Nowhere else.

 

Really got mozzed with the injury list talk this week.

 

First rule of Fight Club: Don't talk about the injury list

We clearly got ahead of ourselves before tonight. Both fans and players. I can take losing tonight at this stage, at this stage all I want is that Max isn’t gone for the season. Please please don’t be an worst case scenario 

Really?  How about outplayed, as well as maybe being shellshocked at losing our best player early in the game?

What is this ball use?! Are we drunk?

Just had a free pour gin. I’m on my way!!


Oliver and Petracca on the bench together, they have both been average but that is odd to have them off at the same time.

What has happened to Brayshaws kicking?

Always been sketchy.
As with most in the side.

Petty having a shocker

With a lot of company I'm afraid.

Sloppy, losing clearances big time.  Half the boys up forward have barely touched the pill.

The worry for me is the structure, lack of big man impact.  Kicking down the line too often.  Not ogranised or clean in the middle (fumbles... not many first touch clearances) and some seriously dumb footy.

The good...

Sparrow, Lingers, Rick, Chandler, BBB (best of an ordinary bunch of forwards so far), Harmes (getting to the right spots but disposal too often smothered or goes nowhere), McVee

The Bad...

Max going down with a bruised knee

Grundy's ability to find a Lion

Clarry kicking's

Viney's kicking

Tracc's kicking

The ugly...

Nibbler's game

Tracc's game

Gus's game

 

 


Saprgo knows how to win a head high free kick

Need to try anything other than the long bomb forward - just isn't working.

Why can we do it at training but in a game it all goes out the wimdow??

 

This game just looks like it’s gonna peter out without much else happening.

Do something to change the state of the game. Come on Goody, come on anyone. Our inability to change mid course continues to be a problem.

  • 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 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.
