    Some really poor umpiring keeping the Suns in this

    Bowey getting destroyed. Need to get him off Rosas now. 

    Put Hibberd on him……………oh wait

    I want Salem back. Turner is developing nicely at Casey but out of his class here. 

    So do you Hibberd or Petty back?

    I want a genuine key forward.

    that said, not sure Petty is stopping big Levi there 

    We are really missing Hibberd and his ability to shut down small forwards.

    Fritsch is having a Barry.

    Why is gc always finding a loose man even after a stoppage in the 50, some lazy defending going on

    I really think Petty should be in the backline. We look all at sea back there, especially with Steven May losing a bit of form/fitness this year.

    Why do we look so disorganised out back? How are they taking so many marks out there? Leaked 46 points to the GC in a half, so far. Not great.

    100%. Needs to go back now. 
    May is taking the [censored] out there. 

    Looking like pus from the moment Gawn got Lippy after Grundy’s mark 


    May is done.

    70 to 45 contested possessions.

    Gold Coast just working way harder.

    Very lax perfromance. defensively really poor

    May looks a shadow of his former self. Getting out muscled in nearly every contest and looks very unsure with ball in hand.

    • 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.
